Last week we had our respiratory exam. I'm in 2nd semester and up until this point the tests have been hard, but nothing like this. This test covered COPD (asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis) pneumonia, TB, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, CO2 Narcosis, Oxy-Hemaglobin dissacociation Curve etc... etc... and let me just say that this was the hardest, most mind blowing test I've ever taken. :uhoh21: Knowing the ABG's for the different diseases and why the levels are the way they are, knowing all the different drugs they take, why they take them, how they work and the side effects, understanding the diff diseases from inside and out, understanding the differnt symptoms for each disease and how to recognize them and on and on...... As I was taking the test (ours are on the computers, so no going back) I felt like I was failing because everything looked much more foreign to me than I studied. I know they say those nursing tests are designed to be tricky, but they're wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. That test was worded so strange and it was the trickiest sh*t I've ever read. My mind was so tired by the time I was finished I felt like crying...for being glad it was over! I remember staring at once question for what seemed like 5 whole minutes trying to interpret it. Anyway..I passed and was in shock. :smiley_aa I ended up with a B and I don't know how it happened but it did and I'm glad it's over.
SO....what was the worst test you've ever taken? I'm curious to know so please reply. Thanks!!!!
