I'm done. I survived. I don't know how I did this for 60 weeks straight, but going hard for a whole week has wiped me out. I'm exhausted from being in lecture all day, the getting up super early to study for the exams. The heat hasn't helped, bc it makes it hard to sleep at night! Ha. But I'm done. I can't believe it.

I got super lucky though. One of our exams was a comprehensive patient encounter, where you basically see a patient and get graded on it. My patient had GERD (reflux), which is a fairly easy complaint to work up and manage. However, some of my classmates had diabetic neuropathy, which meant they had to do an entire neuro exam in like 10 mins (should take much longer, and the neuro exam is so complicated).

Our skills exam was a joke. We had to be prepared to do stuff like intubate, start IVs, put in nasogastric tubes, etc. I had to put on a volar sprint for a wrist fracture, do three horizontal mattress sutures, and then do an ABG. I think everyone got 100s, haha.

Our 250 question written exam was kind of a joke too. They broke it into two sections, 125 questions each, and I was done each one in abuot 25 mins. It's funny that it was supposed to be a cumulative exam over everything we've supposedly learned for the past two years, but it was probably the easiest exam of the entire program. They took 95% of the questions from online question banks we've been using to study from all year, haha.

No more exams ever (except for my board exam in August)! Woohoo!!!
