Turkeygirl Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 What a relief. So last Friday we had our first written exam in nursing..I got a B...I'm happy:D Well I signed up to have my random skills test today at 3pm. That is when you and your partner go in, you draw a certain skill or two and do them in front of an instructor and either get a pass or fail and if you fail, have to redo it end of the week. Blood pressure andh and washing was already mandatory skills. My partner had to do a bed bath and getting a person out of bed to a wheelchair...which was me:rolleyes: When it was my turn, I drew making an unoccu[ied bed and getting out a person out of bed and walking. I have never been so nervous. Well I finished and the instructor told me I did an excellent job and it showed. then on to blood pressure...you had to be within 6 of the instructors...and all I'd heard this afternoon was other students failing the BP. Well I go in with my partner...take her BP and I get it within 2 of the instructors first try! Wohoo I passed my random skills test! Praise the Lord! No more skills testing until the end of October. It's been a stressful last week or so and I don't know if I've been fighting a bug or not...headaches and my head just kind of fuzzy and feeling pressure...I think I got stressed out. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyoitker1 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 congrats! Congrats Ruth! My aunt has been a RN for 30 years and now she is a traveling nurse for On Assignment. If you want to travel when you have completed everything it has great benefits. Not only is the pay excellent but they pay for your housing,heat and air and even some of your cable! Wishing you the best, Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
