Passed and Passed

It is official....I passed CS and CK!!! I am very excited right now and i wish I could come up with the proper way to show my enthusiam on a blog :)

I was particularly worried about CS. I know I am good with patients, with information gathering, and note taking. But to do all of that in a timed setting is tough. Its great to know that I passed, and that I will never have to pay $1200 to take that test again!!!

My CK score surprised me. I came out of the test very confident knowing that I had done at least as good as my Step I score. I got 6 points less :( A little disappointed. But, I can't do anything about it now because its done and over with. The only thing left to do is kick butt in my 4th year electives and get awesome letters of recommendation.

I started my 3rd week of Peds ED in the Bronx. So far it is going well. I am learning alot. Yesterday I was able to suture 2 head lacerations. And last week I stapled 2 scalp lacerations. Its interesting to think that in about 2 weeks I will be done with this rotation completely and on to the next. That, to me, is the best part about 4th year :)

Okay, I am working the 8pm-8am shift tonight so I have to eat dinner and get ready. I hope everyone has a great night!!!
