Does anyone have any good ideas on how not to get nervous during a skills exam? We have one next week and nerves tend to get the best of us.

Practice, practice, practice, practice. Go over and over the steps in the skill until you can recite them verbatim. Knowledge is confidence. Just before your skills exam, step back and take a few slow, even deep breaths and with your mind relax yourself. AND try to avoid those who are very nervous, because it's contagious
