I am 23, and im about to get my RN in two months. I am deathly afraid of making a medication error or overlooking something life threatening
(I work with heart patients) Sometimes I feel I am not as smart as other co-workers. How can I be more attentive and chill out?!
Any advice would be wonderful :)

you will be fine you are just as good as any of the others.I bet if you asked them the felt the same way themselfs.Remember that you had to do the same exams and stuff as them to get were you are so dont worry honey you willbe fine.And because you are so anxious about getting it wrong you wont just double check everything.And that is not a bad thing to do anyway i think that everyone should do that xoxoxo.

Im in almost the exact same position as yourself. i graduated CNA school a year ago, iv,e been working so much i haven,t had time to sit my boards, ive also been procrastinating.
Im sending off for my test date on monday, ive had awfull anxiety and fear over this for a year now.
So now im just going to get on with it and do it.
And yes im afraid of making a mistake or not being as good as the other CNA,s but with practice you,ll become moreposotive, if in doubt you could always double check with a med tech or with a proceedure double check with another doctor untill your confidence grows.
Good Luck! God Luck! Good Luck! to you from someone who really understands!.
I would love to hear back from you to see how you get along.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
