Today was anesthesia mockboards. They were in the morning and I wasn't too nervous until I walked into the locker room this morning and then it hit me. I got really bad butterflies and my hands started shaking. I was at 8:20 so I just got in there and got it done. Luckily I passed both injections, but barely. On the IA I was off at the penetration site with my angles, but she had me go in and try it again and I did it just fine. On the PSA I did okay. My 45 angle from the midline was great, but my 45 angle from the occlusal plane was just barely acceptable. I was really shaky but I did it! I felt good about how I did, especially because I don't feel like I have enough experience to really take the board.
