At a loss

[robinsnest]

In school I have pretty much become school buds with my friend H. She's my carpool partner and we take all the same classes. She makes me laugh, helps me study and in general keeps me focused. She is a WONDERFUL clinician. She stinks at taking tests...Our classes are split into a lecture half and a clinical half. She got an A in critical care clinical...but she failed the final exam in the lecture half, and as our grades are based on nothing but those two exams...She met with the head of the program this morning, but I don't know what came of it. She resonded to me "are you ok?" text with a generic you're a good friend something. I know she's not a talker, and probably what she wants is quiet time to proccess...but I feel horrid. I feel so increadibly sad that she didn't succeed based on one bad exam. I feel anticipatory grief if she doesn't continue. I feel guilty that I got an A- and was disappointed in myself. My heart just hurts for her, at the same time that I'm elated by how well my roation went and the wonderful experiences I had. But I just can't be happy if I know she's not succeeding. And that nursing may lose a wonderful clinician based off one poor exam is damn tragedy to me. We have FOUR exams and one presentation this week!! How could you reasonably be expected to do well on all of that!

*sigh* I wish I knew a way to fix it. But it's not mine to fix and that makes it worse.

Oh, how horrible for her! I wonder if there's any chance they'll let her retake the exam?

And *HUGS* for you. It's no fun worrying about things that you have no control over. =(
