Ugh, I think I failed my exam...

It's been about a day since I tested and I am pretty confident I failed the skills portion. I had an occupied bed and I forgot to do the hospital corners and after I did oral care I forgot to take the stuff and go wash it out. I had set the basin with the toothete inside of it on the table so I could take the patients clothing protector off.. I took off my gloves and washed my hands, gave her water + call light.. opened privacy curtains and then said I was done. UGHH!! It dawned on me right after I was done.

I also ended up going over a few minutes and god knows what else I missed.

Everyone kept telling me that if I missed anything major she drops hints. Well, I never got any hints. She said she didn't think I missed any of the "bolded" items.. but I think I missed a ton of the less important items!!

This just sucks! I find out tomorrow if I passed or not, but I really don't want to re-test. :(

Where did you take your test?

I thought they told you right away when you failed, thats what we were told? Maybe you did great?

I took my test last week and had to wait 2-1/2 days to find out that I had passed. I know of another person in my class that also had to wait that long and he/she did not pass.

I think the length of time it takes to find out if you passed or failed depends upon where you are tested. Different places handle the scoring process differently.
