Anesthesia Mock Board

Well, this is the one that I really thought that I was going to fail. I have tried everything that I know how to do to stop myself from shaking. I was so nervous before the exam but I will say that there is someone... some higher power... that truly does love me. As soon as the exam started my nerves were calmed and I wasn't really shaking. My hand steadied but that was jsut the beginning. I contaminated my needle right off the bat... I had to switch set-ups. I then went in the first time... positive aspiration.... another new set-up. Second try... positive aspiration... another new set-up. Third try... positive aspiration... yet another new set-up. I had to borrow one from my neighbor because I didn't have enough out on my tray. I was finally told not to try again due to the aspirations and I had to move on to the next injection. That one went well, but I guess that I touched the front of the card and I failed. Everything was perfect with the injection itself but I did touch the card.
I don't think that anything else could have gone wrong this morning, but now I know for the board, right?!!!!

This afternoon was also an answer to prayer... I FOUND A BOARD PATIENT!!!!!! I really was beginning to think that I wasn't going to be able to find one.

Oh what a day!!!
