   Good luck on boards. I know the pressure to pass can be greater when you have a job offer contingent on you passing. Get plenty of sleep the night before. Get your coffee before you test and take your time with each question. Make sure you take break...

    Seems like an easy choice, not quite sure what makes it so hard. Did you not mention the position with Inova was 15 mins from your house and that you loved the office and staff? That would definitely be my choice.
