Today was my very last and final mid term exam and probably the most intimidating exam I have ever written.
We had to go into a room, draw a scenario and then complete the task in front of a board of nursing instructors who had to evaluate if you did the task right or wrong.
If you did it right good for you move on and never have to think about this exam again. If you do it wrong you fail and have to re write. If you fail twice you are booted out of the nursing program. GAH.
No pressure or anything.
Luckily for us we got to know the four possible tasks we could possibly perform and luckily for us we also got a list of things that are automatic fails. Unfortunately for us it was 2 pages long.
Don't introduce yourself to the client - Fail
Don't ask for allergies - FAIL
Don't check patients name band - FAIL
Don't lower bed when finished task - FAIL
Don't raise bed when doing task - FAIL
and the list goes on and on..
So I walk into the room and I was sweating bullets. I was almost to the point of hyperventilation and I walk over the hat and draw handwashing.
Never have I washed my hands so good.
The instructors never even blinked. They gave me no positive or negative sign to tell me how well I did, just the instruction to check my email at six. If I failed I will receive a email.
I never recieved an email.
:-D
Piece of cake.
