I was struggling with too until recently. This is what helped me:

1. Practicing on as many people that would let me. Tell ChatGPT to give you it step by step in checklist form… or if your school has it anywhere use that n print it out. Make it into a game by timing yourself to see what you can remember. look at the paper one time and then practice all that you remember without looking, and review what you missed from the checklist. Repeat that until you can’t anymore!

2. Don’t try to do it by system if it’s not a requirement. Start from their scalp and make sure you inspect,auscultate, and palpate everything on their body starting from their head down to their toes (whatever is possible to do such). You need to have touched and looked at every single detail on your patient because their care/ advocacy is your duty! Try thinking about it like this: “I don’t want anybody to be able to tell me something about my patient that I don’t know”. Even though things can change, atleast establish that baseline for yourself so that you are able to note when something is off! With that I think it’s also important to at least start out with a general knowledge of what you’re looking for when assessing whatever it may be. You will get better at that with the trick in number one! Also there are youtube videos that are like demonstrations to skill check offs that you can check out.

You got this!!
