At first I accepted it well. The facilitator told me that I did not make any serious mistakes or stepped outside my boundary. It was just that my anxiety gets me so often in this emergency environment that I can't function properly.
I did not fail the course, and it is currently delayed until I finish my next placement.
Now the problem though.. Is that after few days, I see myself not coping with it well. I don't want to go outside anymore, and seeing my friends in placement finishing it and posting for celebrations in facebook kinda devastated me.
I have appointment with the university coordinator of nursing next week, counsellor appointment on next tuesday, and psychologist appointment on next friday.
This is my first 'big' failure ever since failing math in my seventh grade. I passed everything up to now and did well on my other placements... This is also probably one of the reasons why this failure is hitting me hard.

Hi twofaces,
I can completely relate to this. We are in similar fields (I'm unemployed presently due to heart) but I have had similar situations. Many many hugs to you. I know what its like to not want to even see or even hear others passed. Can you retake the exam? I know what is like when your academic are very important. I am the same. And I hear you that the anxiety can get in the way with our careers and academics. I am pulling for you no matter what. I have been there. Nurses are hereos, and you are a hero, no matter what happens.

I worked ER too. You deserve many rewards for you are a good person!!!
