So I've been reading the threads regarding the CS exam and the mistakes everyone made.. some people seem to pass and some don't even though the mistakes seem small to me. I'm so freaked out about it now. Would like everyones input. PLEASE HELP!
Took my CS.. I think it went ok. Not perfect.

Things I didn't do/ Messed up on:

1. Left some stuff out of PE's like JVD, Percussion,ROM, MMSE ..So PE's weren't 100%.:scared:
2. Didn't complete counseling for one case
3. Got the diagnoses wrong completely for one case.
4. I accidentally assumed one person had a spouse. Apologized for that though..repeatedly.
5. Didn't write complete PE findings in one note
6. Forgot FH and Meds in one case :redcheeks;
7. Didn't understand a vague case and didn't close properly.
8. Asked some stupid irrelevant questions in the history.
9.Forgot some findings for the PN and entered one or two incorrectly after asking the patient the questions
10. Didn't ask one pt enough questions and didn't really answer her query with the correct answer.
11. Gave one patient my opinion even though we aren't supposed to :eek:
12. My telephone counseling was extremely lacking and messed up on that as well. :(

My biggest worry is the ICE and the PE. But I'm pretty worried about CIS too. I feel like I wasn't good enough. I really hope I pass. The wait is terribly long. Fingers crossed. :plz: PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS.
