Subject: Any Nurses Here?

Hi, I'm about to finish my three year nursing degree and I'm terrified! I'm having serious second thoughts. My last shift as a student is on Saturday and I should get my registartion in at the end of January. I have passed everything and my mentors have all had very positive and encouraging things to say. I just worry because every day something seems to happen that I either don't know how to deal with or have never even heard of before! I feel like now I'm at the end of my training and I just don't know enough! Is this normal? I feel like I might even go as far as not even applying for nursing posts and sticking to what I did before! After three years training!? I enjoy what I do but I hate the constant fear of making any kind of mistake. The paperwork is horrendous and even as a student, I find myself constantly staying sometimes up to an hour after shift ensuring I have documented every detail in order to avoid repercussions. I know maybe this is bad time management on my part and will improve with experience but does the constant paranoia ever go away?? Can anyone offer me any advice? Thanks.
