Top of the top! Today I passed the exam of the theory of nursing.
At 8.30 this morning I came to the Department where there were already 24 almost all my colleagues who have taken the exam with me. The excitement was sky, communicate with one another to the sound of "theory and Orem that has made?", "EBN epistemological but that means?". I was literally terrified. I had studied less than I had set itself, and as always on these occasions, all doubts have surfaced as possible and imaginable.
We entered and waited for two hours. Absurd. Luckily we were all together and you could ease the tension. I had with me my darling "who acted as chamomile staff. But the fear was always there. The terror on my first oral exam university.
The professor came to 11.00. He began to question in alphabetical order and I was the tenth.
Each examination lasted more than ten minutes.
reached the fifth colleague, I began to feel the burning chair nails.
chamomile My staff was always there to cheer (even though he had three thousand times more excited than me), until it has finished examining the ninth colleague e. .. and it happened to me. Cleared
the brain. Away all thoughts. It was just me, Professor. The examination. Stop.
I get up without even giving time to announce my name. Poggio statins and booklet on the table and starts. The professor
browse my paper (mandatory requirement for taking the exam) and informs me that my work is among the top of the top! He likes how I set, as I placed the figure nurse within the Clinical Governance, is enthusiastic about my use of the term "performance" with the final xD they, in short, is satisfied.
I am a couple of questions (which I totally removed from my mind) and say with confidence, trying not to get involved in conversations lost and feel the tension melt more and more. Back terror when I ask a question on his book of PubMed, but with a little 'of cunning can divert the conversation to something more congenial to me.
This concludes the review.
"That's okay."
I get up, breathed a sigh of relief, I realize how much he sweated, to what my mouth was completely devoid of salivation, the because my cheeks were hot. Than I was satisfied.
I go back to my place, my colleagues make me compliments. I find his hand, kisses me and tells me that mine will be a thirty laude. And I'm already in heaven, yet without even knowing how it had come.

"You must say whether or not to accept the vote, okay?"
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Sei. Seven. Otto. Nine ...

I start to laugh. The assistant turns to me and asked me jokingly if I accept. "Of course I accept !!!", I say. I feel like crying. I do not. Thirty and praise ... I? THIRTY AND PRAISE!
Continue the call and I'm very happy for me and for him (who has passed the examination in a brilliant way) to my fellow trainees, for all others.
