Passing validation..my 3rd and final attempt

Calm down and Practice, practice, practice at home and with someone else watching you just as your teacher does. Have a check list so the other person can see and tell you what you did wrong. Watch Video on youtube. Ask for help from your classmates that have passed so they can point out what you are doing wrong and help you correct the issue. Good LuckQ

Hi all,

I failed the first few times once because I forgot to label a med cup for administering a med via NG tube; the next time I forgot to simulate washing my hands before entering the patient room. I'm anxious and so worked up about not being able to move on, I just feel horrible. Anyone have any thoughts, tips, advice?

This reminds me a bit of the classic Ann Landers response to the teenager who complained that her mother was always after her to pick up her room, wash the dishes, and do her homework. The answer was: Pick up your room, wash the dishes, and do your homework. :)

Your answer is: Wash your hands, label your med cups. :)

Study the procedures so you can write them down from memory. Don't type them, don't just recite them, write them down in pen and paper. You'd be surprised how that simple step will help cement them in your brain.
