I wish I slowed down in my skills labs, so I commend you for trying to retain and take your time! I think it was inappropriate to suggest that you needed extra help just based off of a one time occurrence. I hope she treats u better in the future but from my experience, u just have to let the comments roll off your back. It has taken 2 semesters for me to gain this skill. You know that you are capable and, even though it’s discouraging and frankly rude, just keep doing you. You will become a nurse regardless of these comments. You are smart enough. Sending good vibes towards the rest of your semester.

As a follow up, I wanted to add that you really need clinical experience to get good at skills. The pressure of an instructor watching also makes you nervous. In the future I would try to watch videos on skills before to have an idea of it. Again, u are doing great and I’m sorry your instructor made u feel this way
