I Passed!!!!

[GGingerSR]

We had our first Nursing Fundamentals test Monday. I PASSED with an 88 (I am not one to usually be happy with a B but I am now). The highest grade was a 94 the lowest was a 60; there were so many who did not pass. I am so sorry for the ones who did not pass but they have the opportunity to do better from know on and bring up their grade.

We also had our first Check Off today and I got a satisfactory so life could not be much better (well if I did not have about 200 pages to read I would feel better).

I am looking forward to the four day weekend. Mabey I will get all my reading and notes done??? Is there ever enough hours in the day???

Thanks for listening to my joy over the test.

Even when you have graduated > 10yrs ago, you never forget that wonderful and exhaustive happiness that you passed. It is what drives you to your next test and so on. Before you know it, you are waiting in line to take your state boards. Congradulations. Remember a C will get you a degree. Even though I made higher marks, that saying became important to me, espically as I watched some of my friends not make it. Remember, as I have stated on another thread. You have to want this degree "More than Air" Tex

Just some food for thought on VS. One of my instructors said pain should be considered a fifth vital sign because joint commission has put a lot of emphasis on it in their accredation process. Congrats on passing!

That is a very good point! I am wondering if that is part of the "assessment". Even though vitals are part of the assessment, they split it up into parts for the check off.

And I will also bear that in mind when doing my assessments on real live patients... thank you for the tip!
