I had one who looked disappointed with everything I said and did and when I got my marks and feedback, I actually did really well in that station! We've been told examiners should have a poker face which is fine but an angry face?! We're nervous enough as it is haha. xangela { paperlovestory.com }https://www.blogger.com/profile/10490931234357513107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971334156485110165.post-89454351637211217122015-07-08T04:01:55.586+01:002015-07-08T04:01:55.586+01:00Hi, Angela.

Examiners can tell (even through your sweaty brow and shaking hands) whether this is the first time you have done a lower limb neuro exam. On the plus side, you can practice on anyone - family members, friends, fellow students and even stuffed animals. Those lists are really helpful too. I used to use index cards and practice reciting the answers to friends. I'm sure there's one exam I only passed because I shouted out the word "empyema" as the bell rang for time.<br /><br />It's also important to keep perspective going into the exam - the examiners don't want to fail you and will gently (or ungently) nudge you in the right direction if you're off track. If you are polite to the patient, introduce yourself to them, don't intentionally cause them pain or make them fall over (and if you accidentally cause them pain, apologise sincerely!) then you are likely to pass.<br />cerebral ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341802432060660337noreply@blogger.com
