I passed my HESI!

[Pam "SFSOM" in TN]

I get to stay in nursing school! Whoohoo!

I was pretty sure I'd failed, so I pushed the little "score" button and made the proctor look instead of me.

I've been so freaked out about this stinkin' test. But now it's done. Phew!

[Mom2legomaniacs]

Yah Yippee Yahoo! We can party tomorrow now instead of drowning your sorrows.
I knew you would, BTW.:D

What do want? Name it, I'll do my best!

[Pencil Pusher]

Aw, Pam. Congratulations. Pheww!

(Having just read Doran's thread, I'm inspired to offer you something smelly to celebrate. Something *good* smelly. ;))

[Melanie in WI]

Congratulations! I graduated with a BSN 28 years ago. They do the school and testing so different now.

[Plaid Dad]

:hurray: Congratulations! :hurray:

Pam, Pam, Pam only you would think that you would fail. :smash: That is me pounding sense into your head. Congratulations!

How did the wee one do on her test? That was this week, too, right?

I tried working on her tolerance when she was here, but I don't think it did much good. Have fun tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you guys. :crying: Pam does have my number....

Melanie, I'm so freaked out by my score. It means that average students like me who test well "look" good. And with massive grade inflation, my grades are very good, so I "look" even better. Looks are seriously deceiving. I wish I were in a program where I were struggling frantically (along with other moderately bright people in the program) to make a B average.

Multiple-guess testing for nurses *stinks*, IMO. I'm at least thankful to say that none of the med administration questions were multiple choice.

:confused:

No chance to get away? Cryin' right along with you...

[Angela in TN]

That's awesome Pam!! I'm sure a feeling of relief..... Have fun tomorrow with Melissa, I'm sad I can't hang out with my WTM "peeps" but since my husband does want to spend the day with me I guess it's only right that I do!!:tongue_smilie:

Mike's! I'll take a berry one if you've got it.

Pam, you sell yourself short. You are extremely smart and work hard. You don't just "look" good, you ARE good. Do I need to get the pounding smilely out again to work on you?

[Doran]

Thinking you'd fail. I thought I was the only one who did things like that (and, of course, I haven't had reason to do it since college).

You are deserving of:

A hot bath
A warm hug
A cold drink
A round of applause!!!


But, it's just me here...so I'll just jump up and down for you in my living room. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/ad/bounce.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)Promise me you'll get those other things for yourself, though, 'kay? There's always the (homage to Debra...) dee-aitch!

[Mom2legomaniacs]

Mike's! I'll take a berry one if you've got it.

:)

I have a case. I have tapped into it a bit, but I think there's some of every flavor available!

[Brigitte]

Nope, we have to go to Va. again on Sunday. I'll be there in spirit.

ETA: Tomorrow we have to clean our townhouse now that the tenant from heck is out. Now buyers can get in it.

LOL, now I've gotta go find that thread!

[Pam "SFSOM" in TN]

Pam, you sell yourself short. You are extremely smart and work hard. You don't just "look" good, you ARE good. Do I need to get the pounding smilely out again to work on you?

You're sweet! It's complicated. I just wish my program were more... well, less of a scan-tron driven entity.

Everybody says, "Just go to grad school." But I think nursing should be the furthest thing from a multiple-choice mentality possible. How can patient care be enhanced when I can eliminate two bad answers and choose between two sorta good sounding ones? (And sometimes, you choose between the least wrong of the four choices. *shudder*)

Anyway, I'm not really putting myself down. I promise. :D

Dh is still trying to connect up with the evaluator. I'll let you know when we get an appointment.

[Old Dominion Heather]

I'll bring the hard cider, Colleen can bring the Mike's. Somebody pick up a keg!

:auto:
:D

[PariSarah]

I don't know what a HESI is. (Is it related to a HEMI?) But I'm glad, glad, glad that you passed it!!

http://www.33smiley.com/smiley/sports/10.gif

Testing well doesn't mean you're not qualified. It means you think well when it counts. That's the sort of person I want practicing medicine on my son in the ER, savvy?

[Mamagistra]

Woo-hoo! Go, Nurse Flaming Sword! ;)

:party::party:

[WTMindy]

YAY!!!!!!!! You are the man.....er, um....the woman!!!!!!!

http://www.33smiley.com/smiley/everyday/17.gif

We all knew you could do it!!!!

[Andie]

Congratulations, Pam!:thumbup1:

[Kelli in TN]

Here's to you. And your icy cold thermometer!!!

[Pam "SFSOM" in TN]

Here's to you. And your icy cold thermometer!!!

*snort* That actually did NOT come up on the test, oddly enough.

[KidsHappen]

I sure am glad that you passed! :hurray::party::cheers2::thumbup:



P.S. - I think that you sell yourself short though. You sound much more competent than you give yourself credit for. I have always thought of you as one smart cookie.

[Crissy]

Congratulations, Pam!!

:thumbup1:

[Amy loves Bud]

:hurray: Great job. I can't imagine you failing a thing.

You've got skilz.

[KidsHappen]

So far I have seen an emergency room physician, my family dr. and a chiroprator and all they have managed to tell me is what is not wrong with me, what some of the complications of what is wrong with me are but not what's actually wrong with me. Sounds like crossing out the two wrong answers and choosing between what's left to me and there are three of them. I think that they are all very competent and wonderful doctors but sometimes medicine is more an art than a science. I would consider myself lucky to have a nurse like you. :)

[Elaine]

Way to go! :D

[Hannah]

I'm not exactly sure what you passed, but "WELL DONE PAM!!!!!".

As far as smart goes, you're one of the people who's mails I always look out for as your obvious intelligence, thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity always come through.

[Virginia Dawn]

Of course you did. We could have told you were going to, but did you ask us...nooo.

Next time you doubt yourself, consult the WTM psychics, ahem, I mean psychologists.

[Pam "SFSOM" in TN]

Thanks, all of you! I feel very loved. :001_smile:

[Amy in Orlando]

:hurray::hurray: WTG, Pam!

Oh yes..... those lovely multiple choice questions!
Congrats on passing.
