It's done. No use for thinking and rethinking and reliving everything. Some people make huge mistakes on CS and still get a "pass". Try and distract yourself with something else, for your mental health... wink

I am not sure, but I didn't order the orthostatic BP measurements (didn't even mentioned) to a clear case of orthostatic hypotension. I couldn't believe it afterwards! disapproval

But there are so many details and 12 cases, so I think you still have a chance to pass. nod

I forgot to wash my hands in one case sad

I feel terrible about it....all other interpersonal skills (draping, knocking, empathy,counseling) i did.....but I forgot to wash my hands on one case ! I wonder if thats the nail in the coffin....becuase I made some other mistakes in data gathering......

akm, snap out of it and stop freaking out!!!! everyone makes those mistakes. there is nothing you can do to change what you did or did not do and nothing you can do about it till you get your result. no point in fretting over something that is out of your control. i think you are being overly hard on yourself. i'm sure you did fine.

You don't need to be flawless to pass.
