Don't fret!

That's how I got into hospital work.  The hospital I work for are sticklers for not adding text or correcting the provider.  HP & DS are similar to family practice notes. You have an advantage because you are exposed to more medications than hospital MTs and the proper dosages.  OPs took some time, but after typing a procedure several times you'll get it.

Good luck!
