Thank you! I ask because I submitted this in a care plan and my clinical instructor took a huge chunk off my grade because she said it was not a nursing diagnosis.

Would this be considered a nursing diagnosis? "Patient has stress overload and death anxiety r/t the timing and gravity of his medical diagnosis as evidenced by patient and family statements." Gotta love that first semester of nursing school....

Hey guys. I had my health assessment lab midterm today- I had to do a head/neck/lymphatic system/integument assessment and a pulmonary assessment on my lab partner. I studied all last week, practiced on my boyfriend, watched videos, wrote out all the steps to each assessment, etc. I got in there, though, and I completely blanked. I was sort of able to get through thE exams, but my professor told me she can't pass me. She's letting me redo everything later this week, but I just can't shake how horrible it feels to have failed this. I know deep down this isn't the end of the world- especially because I get a second chance, but still. It just feels so awful. Any encouragement or words of advice would be greatly appreciated, but also thank you for just letting me rant!

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, so please let me know if I should move it! Has anyone had disability accommodations in their programs? I've had them in the past (for ADHD, so stuff like extra time on tests, mainly) and I'm trying to decide if I should request them again. I'm doing a second degree/entry level RN to NP program (I think that's the best way to explain it?) starting this fall. I'd much rather not put the request in, but I'm thinking it might be pretty beneficial for nursing school. My other degree is in music, so everything about this is going to be very different. Right now I'm taking AP2 and micro, and while I don't technically have accommodations, I have a very understanding professor. I had him for AP1 as well, and once I talked to him about this stuff he made some concessions for me (test formatting, an extra 10 or 15 minutes for tests) and my grade went from a C to an A. At the same time, I keep thinking that this is what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life and I don't get disability accommodations then, so I should probably figure out how not to now. Any thoughts? Thank you, guys!!

Just found out I got an interview! Woohoo! Anyone else interview with Donna Thompson?
