So I took that exam 2 for Maternal Child Health exam today.  It was heinous!  Worst test I’ve taken in recent memory. I know that I messed up on the acyanotic heart defects.  However someone gave me a little tip for the CYANOTIC heart defects.  The Three T’s for cyanotic: Tetrology of Fallot, Truncus Arteriosis, and Transposition of the Great vessels.  Acyanotics (increased pulmonary blood flow) are VSD, ASD, PDA, Coarctation of the Aorta and Aortic Stenosis. I know I screwed up on Kawasaki disease I mixed it up with Rheumatic fever.  And for god’s sake I couldnn’t remember how to calculate BMI!

Holy crap! I got an 85.33!   Dang!  That was a hard test.  I am so relieved!!  I thought I did so much worse from the number of questions I went back to and the “post mortem” discussion between the classmates.

Tomorrow is the final hurdle in Maternal Child Health class. The HESI Achievement exam. I need at least a 75 to keep a B (our grading scale is more rigorous than the standard school grading scale.)
