I FAILED my first clinical evaluation. The next one is my final one, and if I fail it, I fail the course. Without going into too much detail, I was not scheduled for this particular evaluation on that day, but due to a mistake in the schedule, I was selected as the "lucky one" and moved to do my evaluation at the very first day of clinical. I was notified about 12 hours before the day. I couldn't do anything about it. On that day, I had no choice but to cram and rush because there was so much going on, there were other students who had to be evaluated too and I only got the chance to do the cephalocaudal assessment at about an hour before we are supposed to be out of the facility. Amongst all the other stuff I forgot to do or assess (there were a lot), I missed critical things such as wearing gloves. I did wash my hands. The biggest thing I missed was VS. Yup, that's right. VS. The whole thing. I forgot to bring in the machine inside with me, and just forgot it. I think it also did not help that I have never used one before. I just remember being spooked/deer and headlights feeling the whole time I was doing the assessment. I could not be more embarrassed and humiliated. I might have as well just jumped out the window. Right now, some time has passed but I still feel completely mortified. While I am determined to get more practice, I am most afraid of becoming so nervous at my final evaluation that I screw it up again. I was already so anxiety-ridden at my first one, but now I cannot imagine feeling any better on my final one. In fact, I feel somewhat traumatized by what happened. I know there is no way that I will be able to keep calm or completely focused on the next one. I will be so filled with fear of failing for sure. I just would like to hear if anybody had a similar experience with mine. What did you do to overcome? I also want to hear other students' thoughts regarding my situation. I would like to hear from everyone. Thank you very much in advance.
