I just failed my Nsg math test! I am SICK

[crb613, BSN, RN]

I do not know what happened! I am in shock I do believe. I know how to do those calculations, but when I got my test all of a sudden my heart was beating soooo loud, my ears felt like heat & flames were coming out of them & my face & neck felt like it was on fire. I could not think at all.I knew I had failed it before I ever turned it in. After the test my instructor (God love her) wanted to talk to me. She asked me what happened & told me to sit down & look at the test. She went through each problem 1 by 1. She handed me a calculator & said work'em. I got every one of them right. She did not help me, give any clues, just told me to look at them & if I could to try & work them. I feel like such an idiot!!! This is not stuff is not hard (althought I am terrified of math period) she was so nice & said I know you know how to do these & I could not believe it when I graded your test. The last math test we had I did great on it......How does this stuff happen?? Oh Lord I am so sick I just had to get it off my chest. Thanks for letting me whine! CRB

So what is the next step, can you retake it? At my school you get one retake only and then you're out.

Yes I can. She told me not to worry about it but geezh!! I have a 3.77gpa & work my butt off & to think I messed up like that.....I just don't have the words to explain how stupid I feel.I was just trying to reassure a poster the other day to relax that the math was not that hard & its not....whew, did I set an example or what??
