PREPOSICIÓN
Nervous…
Nervous OF/ABOUT - Nervioso por
I would say that nervous about describes your anxiety towards the process and possible outcome of a situation, while nervous of describes a general apprehension or (well-founded) scepticism towards the situation itself and is almost a synonym of ‘leery’.
So if you’re nervous about an exam, your anxiety is aimed at the actual process of going through the exam, as well as what the outcome of the exam will be; while if you’re nervous of exams (a bit odd, though in no way an unthinkable phrasing), you are apprehensive of exams as a general thing, feeling that they are not a thing to be trusted.
Of course, being nervous about someone is not at all the same as being nervous of them. If you’re nervous about someone, you have their welfare in mind and you are worrying that something is bothering them (for example); whereas if you’re nervous of them, you are leery of them
