Freaking over finals...as usual

I don't know if I'm in the right catagory for this thread. I'll graduate in 4 days if I do everything else right, but at my school, nothing seems to be good enough. I have 3 make-ups. One today 3-10 and tomorrow at 7am with the instructor that I swear is borderline, and an easy one wed. the day before the final. I got sick with IBS and a stress ulcer during the rotation with teacher #2 which got me the make-ups. We all heard they made the final harder to weed out people and because our pass rate for the NCLEX went from 98% to 86%. I'm in the BR crapping myself or throwing up. I start to think of hyper-al and "what if I screw it up in front of her?" or what if this and that and feel like i'm losing my mind. My husband does not understand why I'm upset or why I worry about this stuff. We've been having words b/c the house isn't as clean as usual and he's been making dinner for the last month, blah, blah, blah. He's a great hubby, but why is he complaining now when I'm almost done? Where was this 2 years ago?! Just wondering how I can get a grip so I don't show my fear in front of her tomorrow. Because I've been told I show my emotions on my face too well. I hate that. I'm a bad lyer too! The floor I'm on tomorrow is hell. The nurses treat us awful. I'm just scared I'll get confused on hanging blood or HAL in front of her. When I'm by myself I have so much confidence. I feel great and self-assured. As soon as I think of this instructor, I feel like a child, and that's how she treats us.

I'm sorry to complain on you guys like this. But please give me some advice to get through these last couple days! Thanks as always.
