FAILED SKILL PORTION OF MY MIDTERM!!!!!!! Need some real support guys..

Published

Okay so yesterday I took the skills portion of my midterm.. its 3 skills they give you and I haven't gotten my grade back but I'm sure I failed 1...One of the skills was to do nail care to right hand and I did the LEFT!!! I haven't failed anything yet and of all things I mess up on my midterm..it makes me wonder if I will be a good nurse since I can't even make it in cna class..Has this happen to any of you?? Today is the written part which I'm not too worried about but I couldn't sleep just thinkin about the skill I may have failed.

I wouldn't get too overwhelmed. Nerves just probably got the best of you during your exam. But if you keep focusing on it you might mess up on your written portion as well. My advice is to relax and learn from your mistakes. Good luck on your written portion :)

yeah I failed the clinical portion. You get three clinical skills and I failed one. I actually did something sort of like you, I turned the patient to my left side instead of their left side. I passed the second time though. Getting a 70 is passing so congrats!
