I gave the test 2 days ago, and I'm not really sure how to think about it. Actually I have these moments when I am really scared and I feel unsure about passing it. In all the encounters I finished shortly after or even before the 10 min alarm, but as soon as I started writing PNs I was like"Oh, I forgot to do that, or to ask that..." So in all and every one of the cases there was something I forgot, In some cases even more than one question or physical...and I feel awful about it. I just keep remembering what I have not done. On the other hand I am confident that I acted professionally, did all those details such as hand washing or knocking or... in all cases, and I had no problem communicating with the patients. My PNs are organized and neat as far as I can tell, even though now I realize that for example for one case I forgot to write one of the differentials....I asked pamhugsfoss and Pain questions all completely, the things I forgot are like:to tell the sp he needs a rectal exam, to see sp's throat, to listen to carotid bruit( I am so angry about this one), to counsel on cig for one sp, to examine thyroid in another...
The messages I read here are somewhat helpful in calming me, but some people wrote they did everything they had to and still they failed.
I somehow can't afford to fail  , and that worries me a lot...
Any one had a similar experience?

hi khorshid...
the wait is going to kill you... especially when you feel you made some mistakes...
however i made some of the same mistakes as you... i never used the opthalmoscope although two encounters required it... my nuero exam was all over the place... didnt access gait in a patient with a history that require accessment... i shook the hand of an SP who had pain in that arm not once but twice... i dropped my clipboard twice during one encounter... couldn't finish two enocunters...
I just found out I passed... so wait... sounds like you did the most important things to pass...
good luck!!!

Thanks coca cola for the reassuring note and congratulations. I'll try to stay calm and not obsess about my mistakes, but that's hard as you know.
