Boards Today

[WntrMute2]

By the time most of you will read this, I'll have taken the BOARDS. I feel like I don't know squat.

Dave

Congratulations on getting done with your program.

I am certain that since you graduated and completed the program that in itself should certify that you have a very high probability you would pass that board exam.

Best of luck in your new professional path.

fly high and steady.

Results are reviewed for irregularities in the computer selection of questions based on previous question's answer, tampering of the functioning of the test or testing conditions.

That irregularities thing is a little weird, I also find is odd that you can't contest "wrong" answers. For instance, supposedly there is a question what is the % of cardiac output that goes to the brain? Looking at multiple texts the answer should be 15%, evidently, the board answer is 20%, how would someone know which of a number of sources to use? If Barash, M&M, and Miller says 3 different things, how is a "proper" answer arrived at? Just complaining I guess. Anyway, thanks to you all for you encouragement and good wishes, I'm off to take another nap now.

Hey Dave,

I'm sure you did fine on your boards. What a huge relief to have that done. It seems like you have one obstacle after the other with out a chance to really ever relax for 3-4 years with applying and interviewing and schooling and passing and completing boards. Well, don't know if you'll get this. I just showed Pat your post at work, she says she loves you very much!

Spouse posting here - hope that's OK?

My spouse's experience was just like Kevin's to a "T"! The test shut down after 90 questions. Some questions were truly a "mystery" and were very frustrating. After taking the test, my spouse was tense (to put it mildly!) until the results came back recently - you could hear the "Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!! I maaaaaaade it!" from a long way away! :)))))

We have been celebrating ever since - "life is sweeeeeet!" :)

I'm sure you also passed - go take a break and get started on celebrating ahead of time!

Congrats!!! That must be an awsome feeling!

Very nice.

I have to say, I am encouraged. I remember when you started, and I was saying I wish I was there. You helped me get there.

I remember you in clinicals, thinking I want to be there. Again I was inspired by our interactions and your progress.

Once again, I find myself wishing I was in your position. And again, I know that it is coming for me also.

Good luck, and I hope that you hang around here in the future, and continue to inspire us.

Again congratulations.
