Okay I know it has been quite a while since I posted anything. I have been relatively busy lately. After graduation we moved to Salisbury, MD. Then a few days after moving we went back to Idaho for Christmas. I came back to MD before Cassie and Drostan and got a start on studying for my board examination. I have been studying everyday since for 6-8 hours a day, it is worse than having a job!! So the day finally came (today) for me to take the test. For those of you that have never had to taken a computer adaptive test let me explain. After having to remove everything from your pockets, all jewelry, all piercings and all clothes except for your underwear (I might be exaggerating just a little). They take you into a room sit you at a computer and the test begins. You have to take a minimum of 100 questions and max of 180. You have three hours to take the test, and if you don't pass you face certain shame, mocking of your peers and worst of all you have to take it again (which is the worst part). Then the questions begin, questions that you would never contemplate in a million years. Let me give you an example. "if you were in the backwoods of West Virginia and you had to do emergency surgery on an 80 years old man with aortic stenosis. liver failure, renal disease and multiple gunshot wounds what would you use to intubate (intubate=putting a breathing tube in the trachea). A) a clean stick B) your finger C) your hunting knife." Are you kidding me????? Somehow I made it through all the questions and went to get my "unofficial" results. Just bear in mind that my entire future rests on the results of this one test. Four little letters P...A...S...S or F...A...I...L so which will it be. It was so nerve racking waiting for that piece of paper to print. So what do you think it said???
