You are not going to get reported. No one cares besides you that you ate a gummy. It’s really not a big deal and no one should find out. They can’t disclose that to anyone.

Same situation. Tons of all SATA and 75 questions. I did the trick and it said I failed! I had taken it on a Friday and had the weekend off. I cried, moped around all weekend, drank a bottle of wine. On Monday, I found out I passed!!! So I wouldn't depend on the trick to be honest. Chances are with a bunch of SATA and 75 questions you passed. Years and years ago nurses would have to wait a couple months to find out!!! I can't even imagine! Good luck though! :) Sure you did great.

Gave me goosebumps...

Thanks for the comments. It is super frustrating, I feel like me saying something to them wouldn't even matter. I guess I'll just tell my patient to go to an endo. Just hope that doesn't get back to my bosses. Just trying to be a patient advocate :/

I am new to nursing and I work at a weight loss clinic. When new patients come in we do a CBC, lipid panel and TSH. We Only look at the TSH and by that we determine if they have a thyroid problem. Now here is my question... when looking at just the TSH and not looking at the T3 and T4 could we be misdiagnosing patients? I was only under the impression that JUST TSH is not reliable. My patient is a poster child for hypothyroidism. After the TSH came back normal, I mentioned she could do further testing. She did and her T4 was normal, but her total T3 is low. Since her TSH is normal they just brushed if off and said I should have never mentioned the T3 and T4 because that was just unnecessary. Can't a low T3 indicate hypothyroidism? I guess I'm just need opinions. What is the standard for diagnosing a thyroid problem and should we be testing more then just the TSH? Thanks!
