Due to start my first band 5 job next month. It’s dependant on passing my final exams and being able to register.
First of 2 finals was this morning. Several questions on one case study. Case study had x variant of y overarching illness caused by z incident. Questions involve a car history, clinical data analysis, diagnosis and plan, and how to tell if plan is working/forward planning.
For example, the difference between Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. Except it isn’t dementia.
I’ve got the wrong variant. I’ve googled and checked and the case definitely fits another variant better.
The treatment plan and outcome measures I’ve written match I think but I wasted so much time looking at the clinical data again and again that I’m 99% convinced I’ve failed the damn thing. I ran out of time towards the end, was panicking, my invigilator (I was in a room on my own) kept pacing the floor and sighing and basically I’m scared I’ve f*d it.
If I’ve failed this I’m so worried my employer will say no thanks.. or if
I end up with a third class or 2:2 or something…
My open book grades are mostly 2:1 with quite a lot of first class as well, but closed book I just panic. I’m a mature student, this is the first time I’ve done closed book since 2018, first non multiple choice closed book exam since I left bloody school in 2009… and I’m just so worried. I don’t want to fail. I don’t want to not get this job.
Friend took me out for lunch after to debrief (she’s a nurse of 20+ years) but that hasn’t stopped me worrying tonight.
