1. You learn the book backwards and forwards and you only get tested on part of it, if that. So if you think about it, if you do really well, it may be because it happened to be the stuff you understood really well. If you do bad it could be because it was the stuff you struggled with and prayed it wouldn't be on there, but of course it is. So tests don't always test your full knowledge, just a matter of how "nice" your teacher is or a matter of luck. I really do get lucky on a lot of these tests. I'm sure that sounds comforting to future patients of mine...
2. There are no multiple choice answers to pick from in the real world!!! Of course I look "smart" on paper sometimes, but get me in front of a patient and it's like I have no idea where to begin.
"What will be your next intervention nurse..."
"Ummm... wait I know this.. just give me four choices to pick from and I know I can figure it out!"
Yea, I'm sure that's how it'll work.
3. I have no other reasons really except that I'm tired and annoyed and stressed and scared beyond belief. I have another test on Monday and add 12 hours shifts in between which takes study time away and it becomes not so fun. Our last test was just 2 weeks ago and I managed to get by because I studied everyday for 5 weeks.. yea this test should be really, really fun :/
Just needed to vent... Feel free to add to the list because I'm sure I could come up with a billion more, but I have to get back to the books.
Only 59 more days...
