Slam Dunk!!!

Today I took my local anesthetic boards (Written and clinical). I was so nervous that I wouldn't pass that I couldn't sleep all night. After the written I wasn't sure if I had passed or not. I felt totally sick to my stomach. But have no fear I totally passed. I then was able to take my clinical and I was like one of the very first people. My dear sweet sister agreed to be my patient. I was nervous when they were checking her sites becuase she bites her check and I thought they might disqualify her but they didn't. Then I was putting on the topical and I was nervous becuase I couldn't really determine her landmarks on the IA but I was determined just to do what I had learned and as I took my syringe in my hand and pulled back her check the landmarks totally opened up and it went beautifully. Then I moved on to the right PSA. It was going great til I aspirated. And yep you guessed it Positive....first one ever of course it would happen on the board. It was just the tiniest little wisp of light pink. My heart stopped and my breath caught. We talked in clinic about if you get a positive aspiration you should just get a new set up and do it again but I felt really good about my position and everything so I annonced I had a positive aspiration and the Cheif examiner ask how I would like to handle it and my actual words were since it's just a little wisp i'm going to redirect and aspirate again. I did and I was able to see a negative aspiration. When they left I was convinced I had just failed. I cleaned up and waited for my score. When I picked up my envelope I could see a purple paper and my brain was so stressed I couldn't remember what that ment I ripped it open and it was a success memo I was so excited I ran down to tell my sis I had passed and we jumped around and screamed cause I was so excited. I hope all the rest of my boards go so well
