First Semester HAMS II Board of Nursing Test

I cannot believe it!!! Out of 9 students taking the written, 9 passed!  100%

Out of 10 taking the skills we know that 9 passed and 1 ended up in cyberspace with a computer glitch.  They are going to find it and hopefully that will be 100 % as well.  I am so proud of these young adults. 

It was a long hard day.  The written went from 8-10 am.  Then a 10-10:30 break while the Board of Nursing Proctor faxed exams off and awaited results.  All in tears, all knowing they failed.  To see their faces when they realized they had passed "the hard part" was a very positive start to their skills.  The proctor then took 2 students at a time for 1 hour to do 5 random skills (out of 24 pre-selected) which they have to do with 100% accuracy.  Naturally they come back in tears, all knowing they failed.  After the first 3 groups, the proctor faxes the tests to cyber space and they all passed except the one that is still in cyberspace.  By 1:30 she starts on the final 2 groups.  They are finally finished around 4:00 and the fax machines are not cooperating.  Most of the students from the first group stayed behind to wait for the 2nd group as they are really into the "team" thing.  All 4 of these students passed their skills.  Is it possible that we have a 100% pass rate this semester?  Wouldn't that be awesome?  I have 1 student to put through her written (not her fault); and 1 student to put through written and skills.  So we are still in test mode, but almost done. 

Man they are awesome students!
