Forgive me if this was already posted. I didn't read through all the responses. Anyway, the thing that sticks with me from 1997 was getting through all the sim training, engine-out ILS and LOC approaches to mins constantly, then on IOE, it was clear skies, and the controller goes "cleared for the visual". What is that!!! Anyway, I remember the big challenge was getting used to flying 200 knots to the marker instead of the 160 knots in the sim too. But to answer your question, yes definitely nervous on that first leg!
