I went today to take my state test and FAILED. I blew it on ted hose and Peri care. I passed the written with flying colors. I know there is no excuse but I think life might have had a hand in my failure as my mind was not really in it. I worked last night got off at 11 got home to find out my mother had a massive coronary. She survived but needless to say when I left to go for my test I had had no sleep. Right now I am so bumbed and lost. I WILL retake the skills portion again. But I am feeling so let down by myself. I know I know this stuff and should have passed. need to get some sleep.

Hi bakpakr,

I can totally relate to how you feel. The only can I say is that, that's the past now and you should just put it behind you. It's a bummer to know that you know how to do a skill, but due to extrenuating circumstances, it just doesn't work out. You'll get it the next time.

Hope all is well with your mom, I'm sure that alone really affected your concentration.

Kris
