During labs, we always do scenarios. I'm sure most, if not all programs do this. Whenever it's my turn to run a scenario, I'll always get tunnel vision. I mean, I know our specific protocols and procedures, but whenever I'm in charge, I feel like I'm not as much in control as I'd like to be. I can literally feel my heart pounding. I tend to always sweat on every call, information will slip my mind, and I tend to ask the same questions multiple times. Vital signs are just numbers. I mean, when I'm not running the call I can be the best partner you'll ever have, but when I am however, I'm back to square one.
Now my concern is the fact that if I'm having a hard time now, I definitely will not be any better out in the field.
Anyone with similar expieriences? How/what did you do to improve yourself? I honestly tend to be book smart, but when it comes to actual calls, I suck.
