Scared to Death...

So I start my internship next Thursday and I am scared to death!  I'll be working at a nursing home, which is what I would love to do when I finally achieve getting my masters in social work.  I really don't know why I am so scared to start working.  I guess I'm not sure if I have learned everything I need to at school to really help people in a professional setting.  I guess I am not the only one that feels this way when they finally get to use what they have gone to school for.  I have not worked in 4 1/2 years in a professional setting due to school so it is a really different feeling for me.  I have wanted to go back to work since I started school and now that I actually get to I really don't know if I will be any good.  Well I guess that's enough being a baby!  Hope everyone is having a great week!
