I failed my pulse validation today. So yeah, I'm feeling like a bit of a moron right now.
I practiced all day yesterday on DH and got consistent results each time. Today at school I practiced with a few classmates at the same time and our numbers were also consistent with each other. I don't know what happened during validation though. The person I got paired up with was really nervous and his pulse was super fast. I ended up being off by 10 (I got 118, instructor got 128)
Don't feel down, the instructor could have made the error also. Did ur instructor allow you to re-do it? That's not bad, now if you were 20 or more off than I can see it. See if you can re-take the validation.
wow thats crazy are you in a 2yr adn program...we have been goin to clinicals since the middle of sept they just threw us in there...it was crazy...but we are use to it now!
