Sad.

It happened. I failed my first test yesterday. It was an OSCE exam, which is a practical exam. All I had to do was give a 'patient' an oral medication following the three checks, six rights etc. That part was easy. But I neglected to focus on the part beforehand, where you have ten minutes to look the drug up in MIMS (book of drugs) and fill out a sheet of questions about it. My drug was a Lasix, a drug prescribed for hypertension, and I only talked about how before and after giving the drug you'd monitor blood pressure when I should have also monitored urine output as lasix can dehydrate you sooo I failed. This isn't the end of the world, I get a second attempt next week BUT if I don't pass that I automatically will fail the class. I know it should be easy to pass now that I know what I have done wrong but hey, that's a lot of pressure to put on someone. Add the fact that I just feel stupid and useless and today/yesterday has not been a good day.
