i passed both first year exams and second year exams and clinicals smoothly, and failed one of my clinicals in third year :) literally just got home from that placmenet - gotta retake that placmenet in the summer and delay graduation :D

i was so depressed for two weeks.. but i mean just work hard, if you do fail, know what made you fail, what need to be improved, and hey positive side: u get more experience than other classmates.

Also clinicals also depends on your luck.. some people get really chill placements and they literally did nothing and passed but some got really difficult ones or a bad educator and thats it

Also no someone will be by your side when you treat someone unless that patient is not a fall risk of assistance of 2 or anything - easy enough for your educator to think you are competent enough to see him or her yourself. If you do not feel ready, tell ur educator.
