First week of nursing school

So this was my first week of nursing school I go Monday thru Thursday I'm exhausted and its gunna take me sometime to get used to this new schedule but besides that we started doing a check list of evaluations ex. Assessments, gloves, QSEN, basic stuff and we are allowed 3 attempts to complete each different evaluation. When I practice with my classmates I seem to know what I'm doing but as soon as my instructor evaluated me I choked (as in forget how to do what I'm supposed to do because I am so nervous). I started sweating and hands are sweating and really just stiffen up. I attempted 3 different evaluations and passed 1 but I failed 2 of the other evaluations on my first attempt and I really got discouraged I know my self of being extremely prideful and I can't believe if this is the first week and I am already not catching on quickly like other students how the hell am I going to get through the rest of the program?? Am I being to hard on myself since it was only the 3rd day of school?? Should I compare myself to the rest of the class? I did notice some students did not pass on the first attempt either, depending on the evaluation but a good majority of them did. I am concerned with what my instructor thinks about me because I am a learning disability student which means I get more time on my exams but I dont want her to look at me as "well there goes the stupid kid who can't put her sterile gloves on" I redid my assessment and passed so now I have 2 out of three any advice would be helpful thanks.
