Hellooo,
Exam results time...well...what can I say?
Well I could scream, cry, jump up and down or just dry my eyes and get on with it.
Yeah, ok I will do the latter of the list.
As you may well be aware, I was sitting an exam consisting of 3 parts.
They were nursing practice, A&P (that stuff we all did in biology back in the day) and the bit on research.
You may also be aware that I was nervous about the research bit.
So, can anyone tell me, why in the name of all things good, did I manage to miss the grade on the nursing practice and pass the other two with pretty much flying colours?
I could wax lyrical as to why I think I made a hash of the nursing practice but that wouldn't change anything.
Anyways, them nice peeps over at the UEA gave me another bite of the cherry so to speak, and I was allowed a re-sit.
Yay! I hear you shout...what's the result?
Well, that has to wait for the 20 working days turn around for marking. So, I should know by the 17th of July whether or not I have passed this time around.
I spoke to my main lecturer and my academic adviser to see where I went wrong. I found out that I had made a daft mistake and missed passing by about 5%.
In terms of marks, this was probably about 2-3 marks.
Mental note to self - next time you have exams, go hibernate to revise. Be accessible to no-one or anything. A hermit you will become! Side-tracked, you will not be. 🚫
On the upside I did pass the Safemedicate exam with 100% so that's a plus 🎉🎉
Anyways, that is where we are with exams and the such.
I still have loads to do and get on with. Time is slipping through my hands faster than I care to think about. It's a scary thought but I have almost completed 2 years of nurse training. Only another year to go and then doing the job for real.
In other news, I have finally decided that I want to work in dementia care. So, fingers crossed please for the re-sit exam being a pass.
Anyways, I am off for another coffee ☕
Be good and I will chat to you all again.
Night night - K x
