Failed Lab today...

The thing that makes it really crappy is that I was soooooooooooo close to passing. I was really struggling in the lab exams but managed to pick my grade up. Today I needed a 9/10 on the exam and pass my suction checkoff the first time through. I studied my brains out and went to open lab numerous times to practice suctioning and even though I got a 9/10 and almost ran through my checkoff perfectly I set my saline cap facing down and failed. I didn't know this was wrong and wish in instructor would have pointed that out in open lab. I mean, its nobodys fault but mine but it just sucks so bad.

Now I have no direction in life

    Thanks so much everyone!

    I feel truly grateful for this second chance. Our nursing lab coordinator (the one who decided whether we were allowed to take this exam) is a real hard a$$ and she was all smiles because almost all of us who took that make up passed with flying colors!

    I learned a good lesson and I can be sure that I will NEVER forget to put my saline cap up from now on, LOL. I also realized that I was not applying myself enough. So this semester I am not going to take lab for granted. In my program, if you fail theory you are allowed to continue with the program and you just make up the class at a later time but if you fail lab you are held back an entire year since they only have them once a year. So no more games, it's time for me to kick butt in nursing school!

    Thanks everyone
