Second practical exam over!

Today was the last of the two practical examinations and it was on hand washing and being able to demonstrate the proper way to wash your hands, which I am quite confident that I passed with flying colors. At times, the examiner was not even watching my hands and was talking to me about the weather and we were talking about me going back home for Christmas. You see, I had a strategy, and that strategy was to get the examiner interested in a conversation and she would pay less attention to what I was doing with my hand washing. It seemed like it was working too! Hehe, now for tomorrow...

Tomorrow is the Pathology spot exam where they will project images of pathological conditions/lesions up on the screen and we have to describe any changes/abnormalities we see and diagnose the condition as best as we can. As long as I can describe the lesion/condition I see, the diagnosis portion is worth a very small fraction of the total points for each question. The majority of the points are given on your capability to describe any changes you can see. Anyway, off to bed I go so I can get my full 8 hours of sleep in for the morning! Wish me luck! I'll post an update on how I did tomorrow. Only three more days and I will be done!!!
