National Exam...Done & Done!!

It's OVER!!!

Thank the heavens above!!

That was no fun studying for...

I'm not sure how I did...

The first part had 200 questions...

Of which I flagged about 60 that I was unsure about...

Could have been worse right?

Took a lunch break and back to work I went!

150 case study question didn't sound too horrible...

On about question 58 I wanted to kill myself....

Not because they were too terribly hard, 

But because I had been sitting there for close to 6 hours and my brain was DONE

DONE I SAY!!

So needless to say I just clicked my way through the remaining 100 questions

Not thinking about them too hard, just wanting to GET OUT OF THERE!!

Overall I feel pretty good about it, I think I at least got a 75%

If I fail, I will feel pretty dumb 

AND

I don't know if I can muster the strength to take that bugger again

Because this is what I wanted to do at the end...

Last & Final Mock Board!!

So Thursday was my very last mock board!! 

I am glad we did these because I feel much better about how the real thing will go now! 

I have been pretty lucky in my mock board adventures! 

I have passed all three!! 

Yippee!!

My first one in October I got around a 76 or something, 

then a few weeks ago I super nailed it and didn't miss one single spot!! Perry docked me on my x-rays though (lame) so I ended up with a 96. 

Then this last one, my patient had 20 clicks of calculus!!! 

20 CLICKS!! 

Holy crap!! 

I thought I did pretty well again, but time was running out and I knew there was still a rough spot and I tried for the LIFE of me to get it off and it would not budge. 

So I just submitted her, but in the end there was just two little spots left (out of 20)

so I was angry at first 

but then I realized I did a good job anyway!! 

I actually have learned something in the last few months!! 

YAY! 

So I ended up with an 88, 

and since all you need is a 75, 

I won't complain!! 

Hopefully I can do a repeat performance on the real day! 

Because this would be the exam that I would cry and cry and cry if I failed!!

At least they are over...One step closer to GRADUATION!!!

Maybe I Should Blog...

There is SO much to do, SO much to remember, SO much to stress about. Blogging is kinda last on my list. But maybe I should try and catch up. This semester has been pretty good so far...Honestly for my requirements I really just need 7 more quads of a 4 and I am good. I have been pretty lucky with finding patients. I have my process of care exam on Tuesday. I am kinda worried about that one. I have heard mixed reviews. Some say it was fine, others say it was horrible. Don't know what to expect. All I can do is pray!!
