Hello everyone! I am making a post to have someone hopefully reach out that had or is having similar experience as me at the moment. Got my midterm grade back...unfortunately I failed. I knew my information, but the way the questions are worded really throws me off. I have 2 more tests to take for the semester, but as of now im failing the course by a couple of points. I am so hoping to pull it back up with the next two exams, but I am extremely worried and nervous.... the pressure certainly is overwhelming. Anyone else have the experience where they were failing the semester mid-way through, and was able to pull it up again and pass the course before the semester ended? Some advice and encouraging stories would totally make me feel better and a little less alone...my close clsssmates seem to be doing pretty good which makes me kinda feel like a loser. Also, if anyone has some study tips that worked for them you guys can share with me, that would be awesome! Thank you so much for reading!

I don't know if I am overthinking this or not. But today for clinical I forgot to bring in my flu shot vaccination confirmation sheet. Not only did I forget the paper, one student forgot to do her project/presentation, one girl showed up 20 minutes late, and one didn't come today. She blew up on our group, and said that all of these things could result in an unsatisfactory for the clinical portion of the semester. She also stated that "her other clinical group is way better and they have a blast together" and that she hears the people in my group "talk bad about her behind her back" which I don't do but grouped us as a whole with that statement. I am starting to really freak out over this. My mom is also a clinical instructor, and she said she would possibly send someone home if they forgot to bring in a vaccine confirmation due to the facilities policies. My instructor did say I could bring it next time, but I can tell she was annoyed because she senses I am a disorganized person. It's not only this situation but as a whole nursing school is making me very nervous and anxious. Ugh I just want to pass. I hope she wouldn't fail me just because of that??

Thank you so much

Today in clinical we gave our first injections into a patient (flu vaccine). My instructor was on top of me, and didn't let me have to time think since we were running out of time we had on the floor, which made me extremely nervous and I started to freak out. The injection went pretty good...except that I was so nervous I didn't even think about identifying the patient before giving the injection (which is horrible!!!) I just walked in and said hello I am here to give you your injection! She immediately scolded me for that which is appropriate but also said I did a good job actually doing the injection. I was really freaked out/emotional and I just started crying. This wasn't something that was graded but I'm just so nervous she could fail me for the stupid thing I did. Does anyone have any advice. I feel like an idiot ...

Hello everybody! i am in my first semester of nursing school. We go to clinical once a week and after we must write a journal entry documenting our experience of the day at the clinical site (in a nursing home). My professor keeps saying I must identify an NLN compentency in the entry, even though I looked up the NLN competencies and try to apply them she says it's not good enough! Anyone have any ideas of how to incorporate them or any tips? Patient safety is a good one and I applied that and she said that's not one of them .....

THANK you!

yes i did pass!

I'm asking supervision in a sense of is the lady literally watching you pee. If she is outside the door I won't count that as supervision

You used castle ranch facility also? How did comment above not get supervised and you did? Do they randomly select or something

Thank you so much

Yes thank you! Also may I ask what year you took the test?

Hey everybody! Quick question....have any of you used castle branch drug testing facility for your drug test to be admitted into your schools nursing program? Just wondering if the urine test will be supervised. A simple yes or no is appreciated!!
