I am pooing my pants about mine!

Being a born procrastinator, I have just been ignoring them! BUT THEY ARE A WEEK ON SATURDAY!

I am not ignoring them now! Cram time!

Because I have been in practice for eons, I feel OK about most of them - fluid therapy, anaesthesia, bandaging, some lab, and am concentrating on the ones that are new to me - theatre practice, a lot of lab, pharmacology, the WHO handwashing thing, radiography.

Still bricking it though! Mostly because I know I should be revising everything! Just don't seem to have the time!!!

Aghhhh!

Be postive you will be fine....when I did mine I talked my way through the tasks it helped relax me and showed my knowledge to the examiners even if I was struggling at the time.......remember stay calm......read the Q fully think about what you are being asked to do.....breath.....you will be fine......GOOD LUCK

I bandaged the wrong leg in one of my practicals! ( Did the degree so weren't official ones). Examiner asked me at the end if there was anything I'd like to add. I said urmm yeah next time I would bandage the right leg

I was so embarrassed!! I also did the RCVS examiner training which was run exactly like the real thing for examiners to practice but we got useful feedback too - so I am hoping the real thing will be 3rd time lucky for me!!

Yeah I am doing the practicals this time - Saturday at 9am, so glad I got the morning so I have less time to worry before it! Good luck to everyone else doing theirs this time too! xx
