This is kind of an extension of the "Another One BitesThe Dust" thread. I did not want to monopolize that discussion with my own problems. I am about to fail Fundamentalsof Nursing because I am unable to pass the validations. I don't know what the problem is, but obviously it's my fault. I've gone for help, worked in the practice lab for hours, etc. but when my clinical instructor is watching me there are some validations (Open gloving !!!!) I just can't get right.
I have been given the opportunity to be revalidated and have accepted it. What is wrong with me? My grades are excellent, and all my instructors say I am "putting my heart and soul" into the program. It's not for lack of effort. During my medsemester evaluation my Clinical Instructor told me that "maybe it's time for you to do something else."
I am not blaming anybody. I am trying to figure out how to make the best of a bad situation. I feel horrible - as if I'm sitting on death row waiting for my execution date. I don't want to quit. I want to give it my best effort until the very last day.
Advice? Suggestions?
