I have had horrible luck with school lately. On Tuesday we had our mock anesthesia board, and I failed the PSA injection, but I did well on the IA and the written examination. Our board exam is 2 weeks from today so I just need to practice and I think I'll be ok. Then today and last Friday I scheduled people to examine and see if they would qualify for boards, but I have had no luck. I have found no one even close to qualifying. I got a couple of patients from another student and a new patient I need to schedule, so hopefully something will pan out. I still have 2 months to find someone, but I don't need 2 months of stress!!!
I've had to buy sleep aids to go to sleep at night because I clench up and stay up all night thinking about these stupid exams. My fellow students can appreciate this: last night I was up and just kept going over in my head the angles and terminology for the anesthesia exam, "at penetration site, at deposition site, aspirating..." So I have to take medication at night now so I can even fall asleep!
But my written exam is in 3 1/2 weeks and after that I think I'll be able to relax a little. But we don't even find out if we passed until June, so it will be hard to relax until then.
But I have a beautiful son who makes me laugh everyday, so I should count my blessings.

Wow, you have a lot going on! No wonder it's hard to sleep at night. But I am so glad you have that cute little Kire to help you laugh and relax a little bit. He is so dang cute!
Sorry to hear about all your stress! Good luck with everything! I love those pics of Kire!
don't worry, you are not the only one with stress! i too have to resort to sleep aids! i just hope i get lucky and find a board patient soon! then maybe i'll sleep at night!
I told my husband that if this had been the first semester of the program I would have dropped out by now! I know we only have two more months and then we are done FOREVER so I'm trying to stick it out! The sleep aids sound pretty nice right about now though!
