Super discouraged...

So for this term, my clinical class has only two midterms, and our OSCE's to do. Today, my clinical teacher pulled me aside and told me I failed the first midterm. I don't know about you guys, but I've have always been a high achieving person and not doing well on something makes me super anxious and generally kills my entire day. To top off already sucky news, she went on to tell me I was the only one who failed, that I need to do much better on my second midterm and OSCE's to pass. I do well in my other classes (I'm in first year) and I just feel like complete ****. Someone please make me feel better :(

    OK - time to shift into high gear. Make an appointment with the instructor to discuss your performance. You need to know where your're going wrong, and get a recommendation for the corrective actions you should undertake. It's not the end of your nursing education unless you allow it to be.

    (educator here) "Hitting the wall" is a very common experience for students in their first year of nursing classes. These courses are very different from previous academic experience. High performers, who perfected their study habits in a way that earned high marks in pre-requisites tend to have even more trouble with the change. OTOH, mediocre students are used to struggling and usually much more open to changing their study habits. But for high-flyers, it affects their self-image. As you'll learn in nursing courses, unpleasant or negative changes to one's self-image are about the most profound types of shocks that anyone can experience.

    You can do this. We're cheering for you!
