We had "finals" Monday night; Samara passed them all: Medical, Trauma, and CPR. I passed CPR & Medical; I checked my brain at the door for the Trauma test: victim had fallen 20 feet from a tree, broken leg & bleeding from the nose & mouth. We had a new c-collar and I tried putting it on inside out, then upside down, before I figured it out; the backboard had an unusual strap configuration, which threw me, so I forgot everything else on the check list - didn't check vitals, didn't maintain airway.
I'm glad that there were some "new" wrinkles in the test that weren't on the prior practices. It keeps it interesting, even if I fell apart; there's still next week. "Finals" again next week....

Sounds like a fun test.
It was fun.
We had a CPR class today at the office and I figured out one more thing that I missed on the test.
I'm hoping that they throw another curve at me on the next round.
