Yesterday was my first skill test in nursing school. I never had this kind of test before, therefore, I was very nervous. I slept earlier the previous day around 10 o'clock, but I was awake before the sun rose. I had no idea why I was so nervous. Maybe it was because I had no experience of this kind of test before. Actually I had prepared this for so long. To be honest, to deal with the reality, it was way more different because you need to deal with a real human not mannequin and an assessor beside you.

I always wish that I could draw an easier question for skill test. Luck was beside me yesterday and the question that I drew was extremely easy- to take the radial pulse and respiration of Mr. Chan Tai Man. However, when the skill is too easy, you wouldn't think about some major and important points. I was given 5 minutes to do the skill and everyone thought that I got good result because I seemed so confident. That's me! Even though I was nervous deep inside, I would never show it. I don't want to make myself look like a loser.

I was quite depressed after the skill test just because I forgot to tell the assessor a major point. I am not sure why I take this test so serious, but I think since I prepare this for so long and so detailed, I should deserve better result. Now, I change my mind, academic result is just a reflection of your study, if you fully prepare yourself, then it is no regret no matter what your grades are. The most important thing is what you learn! To be honest, I really learn a lot in nursing school despite the hectic I faced everyday!
