Because of a stupid, careless mistake I failed it. We were supposed to calculate the sum of all intake of a client. Let's say There was three 50 mL of meds, 5 tsp of broth, 2 TB of jelly, and 1 cup of ice chips.
Well I didn't see the "three" on the 50 mL there. She should've just written it out like (3) to make it more clear, and because of that I failed it.
It was not the hardest of the questions on there either; I got all the others right but I just couldn't escape with a pass.
Its frustrating being down with these silly mistakes. Now I have to retake it next week and take the theory test altogether. Im pretty down on myself right now.
In my program, we have a math exam every semester, and we have 3 chances to make 100% on it (over a couple weeks time). If you don't make 100 by the 3rd attempt, you're dropped from the program.
Same here. We have one the first week of each semester and must pass with 100pct. It really is less daunting than it sounds....really!
I'm not sure on our rule for the "3x you're out" deal, everyone passed on their 2nd tries so far.
