I promise I won't post these very week, but this was a HUGE relief to get the first one out of the way.

My hands were shaking like a leaf that I could hardly do the sterile glove procedure, and the BP cuff they had us use was NOT the one I had been practicing with, and when I released the valve the teeniest tinest bit, all the air rushed out....it was sensitive!

I wasn't sure if I had passed or not, but I heard later that if you didn't, they would tell you right then, and it's a pass/fail thing.

It's just a relief to know the first major step is out of the way.

Now back to the books!

Hallelujah!

We sign up for our first checkoff next week! Send some of your good *passing* vibes my way. I am soooooo nervous about it!

Congratulations!!!

Great job! It gets easier after your first skill and you know what to expect.

We're proud of you!

Congrats! We have our first one on the 18th and I'm scared to death! In my program, if we fail with less than 75% we are out of nursing school. I hope that I'll be posting something similar soon. You should definitely give yourself a pat on the back because nursing skills are not the easiest thing in the world!
