Clinical Board!!!


I was so lucky to have my sweet mother-in-law as my patient. She came and slept at my house the night before, even though she wouldn't be there until 12:30 in the morning.  I was so worried because Maren and I had no back-up patient.  We were the only ones on Friday morning and I was scared that one of ours would not qualify and we would be stuck with no patient.  Maren called me later the night before and had found one!  Took a huge load off my mind!
We got there and luckily Maren was right next to me.  Helped me relax just knowing she was there.  I signed in as quick as I could.  The chief examiner checked my paperwork and I sent her back to be checked behind the curtain with the other examiners.  She was gone for an hour and 15 minutes.  I was sure she hadn't qualified.  Maren's was also gone forever.  We were so so nervous.  They both came back and our first submissions qualified!
I have never cleaned so fast in my life.  On the mockboards I felt like I had a huge surplus of time.  I sat and rested my hands for a half hour at the last mockboard.  I couldn't believe how different it was in the real test.  I looked up and had half an hour left!  I quickly probed and rechecked everything.  It was crazy how fast time went.  I turned her in with about 3 minutes left.
Now we just have to wait for the results!

I am so grateful I chose to go to Weber.  I talked to many girls from other programs and they just were not as well prepared.  Every single one of our girls had their first submission accepted.  I think that is a real testament to our instructors.  I am so grateful for them.
