I am in the same boat as you. Still in first semester as well. I just completed my lest check off today. I was diagnose with general anxiety disorder with panic attacks. there is something about being one on one with the professor just staring at you almost waiting for you to make a mistake. I started talking to myself during check off. I say outloud what I am doing and it seems to keep me grounded. I actually don't even acknowledge that my professor is there. It seems to help along with breathing exercises before the check off. And after a few check offs, I have realized I am going to make mistakes. There is no way around that. But I have been able to not let it effect my day. I say thank you for the advice and let it go!

Yes you can

Understandable. But that is not for us to judge. OP came here for help. And yes, some people need tutoring to get through nursing school.

People come here for support and questions. Not to be talked down to and told their IQ isn't high enough.

We have all been there! Just take time each day and go over material. Go back to the basics of earth science. Freaking out will only make you more stressed and not able to comprehend what you're trying to learn! Maybe look at McGraw hill book as well. That book "dumbed down" science for me. Good luck :)

Do you have the ATI book? I read through that and took the practice tests at the back of the book. Whatever I got wrong, I used khan academy and you tube to further explain. Also, I failed science on my practice tests and passed on the real read test. Not saying that one was harder than the other...
