I admit that I am a perfectionist (especially when it comes to academics). I know that employers do not look at transcripts and yada-yada but it has been a point of pride for me to make it this far in my program with a 4.0. I am a PMHNP student and have worked psych for the past two years (I did initially work critical care). Still, my skills assessing for medical ailments rather that psychosocial and psychiatric ailments has lessened. I'm currently taking advanced physical assessment and I HATE it. I just do not feel like it is at all applicable to the work that I am eventually going to do. I work with psychiatrists every day and I have NEVER seen one do a HEENT exam. I am struggling with this course and do not feel like I am going to get an A. I got an 88 on my midterm and a pretty horrible grade on one of my SOAP notes. Just feeling really discouraged. Any advice or thoughts?
