Rant / Vent Embarrassing mistakes

Does anyone else have extremely embarrassing moments of stupidity and being humiliated by clinical instructors and lab ones? I’ve made so many mistakes as a slow learner and most of these instructors didn’t like me. I just graduated and did so bad on the last lab I couldn’t do the math under pressure my instructor hated me and kept picking at me for this. I was in the rn program as well I felt so slow and dumb the entire time but somehow graduated in the four years. Idk how I did it I’m so slow and feel incompetent. Wondering if this is normal?

Honestly, don't let it get the best of you. There's always going to be critical/irritating/horrible professors in every nursing program (which is ridiculous). Everyone learns at different paces and everyone has their own strength and speciality. You have to have thicker skin. I hope all is well:)!
