No. Why would you be?
i've heard that it is very intense, should know it all ahead of time, etc.
maybe just new intern anxiety...

I did PALS as a MSIII and made it out ok. It similar to ACLS with different dosages and somewhat different problems, but same general concept. You will be fine.

I am an intern as well and just did PALS. It is not bad at all, you do not have to worry about it. Just know the basics like CPR saves lives and you should be ok. Good luck!

The whole point of PALS is for them to teach you.
