Venting

Having a hard time with clinicals. I thought I was doing extremely well, which I am I guess, but apparently my instructor doesn't think I'm more than "average". Really upset about this because not once has one of my 3 clinical instructors mentioned that I need improvement on anything, and then they give me a grade below my expectations without even talking to me about it. I just wish they'd be a little more helpful, I mean isn't that their job? I asked my main instructor at campus how they come up with these grades, because others in my group were given 100%, and she showed me. Made me feel like absolute CRAP, had me crying and everything because I never knew about all of these things I am satisfactory at until she laid everything on me all at once. A majority of those things, I might add, didn't even feel true, especially when you see the clinical instructor maybe 3 times (not including conference) for 5 minutes all day! Even the nurses I've been assigned to have given me more feedback and have ended each day saying "you're going to make an excellent nurse." I think the worst part for me is that I do so well in all of my other grades but the clinical skills brought me down to a B, whereas others in my class had B's and got brought up to an A because of the clinical skills. They get higher grades than me when my grade was originally higher than theirs. I don't know, I guess it is kind of silly to be upset about a B, because "passing is passing" but I think its just not being informed that I could be doing better that really bothers me. And I'm so used to excelling at everything, it really hurts when I don't. I'm just disappointed in myself, but I think that the situation could have been avoided entirely.
