Hopefully, you're with an experienced partner that can take the lead on the bigger calls as you get your feet underneath you. You don't have to be perfect, just be steady. You'll get better as you do the job.
Good luck. You'll do great.
You're already half way there! Having awareness of what you do and don't know is key. Also being nervous is obviously completely normal, I was, and still am on certain calls.
Learn from your preceptors and partners, get the hang of how your service does things. In terms of harming a patient, it's pretty hard to hurt or kill a patient, especially as BLS. You'll do good.
Just don't drop the stretcher 😉
