Is there any saving her?? got super busy beginning of the month and didn’t water for 2 weeks and she’s super unhappy. I usually have trouble with this plant in particular but it’s never looked this bad. I watered today, just wondering if there’s anything I can do to get it to perk up again
She'll be fine. Fittonias are known for fainting dramatically when they go too long without water, but they bounce back just as fast. Fainting like that does take a lot of their energy, so it's best to avoid it, but it's no big deal if it happens by accident. These like relatively frequent watering, and need good drainage so their roots won't sit in stagnant moisture. Other than that, yours looks a bit leggy and would like some more light

Just spray her a bit more frequently if she’s dry but don’t water her too much too suddenly bc that can cause the roots to stress. You can also try to move the soil at the top a bit with a fork to soften in a bit
