They don't let you guys know if you pass that day?

They told me the same day that I passed and come to think about it I'm not sure if I pulled the curtain either I had the same skill. I hope you passed did you have an okay instructor?

It depends on the instructor some of them can be pretty picky. I know one kid failed because he dropped the stethoscope

and forgot to disinfect it before he placed the Bell on my arm.

i will find out thursday whether or not i passed...its nerve wracking.....the instructur was fine but i was having a hard time trying to get her to listen to me! she seemed pretty bored with the whole process and acted as if she wanted to leave...idk what that could mean for my outcome but who knows? i'll let you know how it went on thursday!

nope, they have to send their grading to Ohio and they score it and send it back? no idea why...

I don't know either, I think it depends on the evaluator. I am sorry you have to wait so long. I did mine yesterday, and she faxed it off right away...and within 5 mins they faxed back that I passed.

Hang in there!!

Tell the examiner that you forgot to pull the curtain and they will sometimes overlook it as long as you recognize your mistake

I just took my my test last week and I actually forgot to pull the curtain for all my skills lol its not that i didn't know what to do, it was just that I was soooo nervous and flusterd I forgot plus I did eveything else right and that was my only mistake. But it just depends on the tester I guess. I'm in california and my school was really layed back, they didn't sweat the small things as long as you didn't put the client in any dangers I think your good.

yeah i can totally relate about being nervous and flustered!! that was my problem...because believe me, BEFORE the test, i knew every single skill to a T! lol but the observer seemed laid back....and i didnt mess anything up on my other skills so maybe she'll let that slide!
