Bad bad week and 1st test tomorrow

[missninaRN]

I have my first fundamentals test tomorrow morning and have never felt so unprepared for a test in my life.

We buried my son's best friend this week as well as one of my fellow nursing students. I've spent the week grieving with my son and now I'm having an Irritable Bowel flare-up.

I'm on a bland diet of white bread, white rice, white noodles (you get the idea) and am so tired. I don't see how I can have the mental focus and energy to take this test without some protein or a big cup of Coke (not good for the bowel, apparently.)

If anybody feels like praying or thinking happy positive thoughts for me I'd really appreciate it.

I am a 4.0 student but will fall to my knees in thanksgiving if I get a 74% tomorrow.

Well, I took the test. I decided that I wouldn't ask for special favors (like taking it later) because in the real world I will still have to give competent care even when I am tired, sick to my stomach, etc., and I did just fine. I went in there only hoping to pass, and I got a 94%!!! And judging from the comments made by those sitting around me, it looks like points will be added as well.

I can't even describe how relieved I am.

Thanks to all of you for your helpful advice and kind words. It means so much to know that someone else cares and is offering their support.

:mortarboard: Woohoo! Sounds like you will do fine! Now get a little rest so you aren't dragging and feeling sick for too long.
