CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
YOU WORKED HARD, ENJOY IT!
State is not so bad, you can do it!
Let the 18 year olds attack me too, instructors prefer us to the young ones and thats the truth!

Haha, now I am just wondering if, at 24, I am part of the "young" team or the "old" team.

Smile Re: state exam coming....
visual helps
pick one person to focus on
use them as the only eye contact
and ignore the rest
look at their nose or face

take deep breaths in the nose out the mouth
slowly
and take your time if you are allowed to

I shake too, don't worry about it! I think I posted this before but the girl with me asked for oxygen durring hers, so its cool. Say the steps out loud, think of it not as test but as a real patient do your best and you'll be fine
