Performance Anxiety Help

Hi, 

so I just completed my 3rd week of lpn school. I also passed my first exam! 
I love lecture class. I love learning and challenging my brain. However, I dread every single day of lab. I only have lab once a week. I have major performance anxiety and next week we have our first skills check on vitals. I’m so nervous. I cry every time I get out of lab. The girls I partner with never want to help me out or they stare and judge me. That’s causing my anxiety to go up. I’m almost ready to quit. Today I got shaken and wanted to puke. I’m really almost about to quit. 
any suggestions? Is my body telling me that this field is not for me? 
thank you for any advice/help

    Lab used to make me nervous too. Sometimes I would practice alone just to get the hang of it before working with a partner. You can watch Youtube videos while practicing the skills. Don't quit. It takes some of us awhile to learn the hands on skills, try to practice a lot. You will feel differently by the end of your program!
