So right now I need to pack my stuff for one of my final long internships of my retraining to become an RN - tomorrow, me and a classmate will be traveling to Bad Liebenstein, where we do our hospital internship at a neurological clinic/rehabilitation centre. We’ll stay there during the week and only leave on the weekends. It’s nice to not be alone during this internship and despite my classmate being almost 9 years younger than me, he and I get along well. It’s 10 weeks in total - first 6 weeks, then 2 weeks at our actual employer, then the “Zwischenprüfung” (midterm exams?) and a few weeks of school before the final 4 weeks are concluded in summer around June.
Speaking of the mid-term exams, I’m kinda nervous about everything… actually, nervous is quite the understatement. I already had trouble sleeping tonight due to waking up from weird dreams. Packing up stuff also isn’t my strong suit so everything is very stressful for me atm. I’m looking forward to learning some interesting new things, but at the same time I’m unsure how we’ll be accepted there, since a few people there didn’t seem very welcoming…
Nevertheless, I hope for the best possible outcome. Have a nice weekend, everyone!
Thank you for all those tips and the kind words! It’s really great to feel how supportive the wetshaving community is.
I’m already on the list (and checking it twice). Otherwise, I’d forget so much important stuff.
As for the exams, our school/teachers really tried their best to prepare us well and I promised my classmate that we’d practice together. United we are strong, somehow. I’m kinda glad we have midterms this time, as we didn’t have them when I became an OT and that made final exams so much worse in terms of stress. Re-reading all the important knowledge will definitely pay off in the end.

My wife is also nervous when packing, and she uses a checklist (that she reuses). In that way, she can distribute cognitive load.
For doing exams, it may be helpful to try the teacher’s perspective: if you had taught the class, what would you ask? And how would you evaluate?
Don’t worry, you got this!
