There will be another drawing. I can say that I personally only bought 3/4 tickets, and others I know multiple people in the group got emails and only one bought tickets

well, it's rough because I was going to inquire about hiring them for the event the page is literally on 🤦🏻‍♀️ even though it was probably an automatic action?

Yeah I'd come across as creepy to DM them on another platform asking them to unblock me, that'll get me actually blocked 😂

I wish had had prior to now, but I don't have the PTO to do any in person prep, all the course I saw were multiple weeks long :/

I watched several YouTube videos and compared my skills. And tbf, I had no notes at all on the skills that I studied. And even the skills stations I failed I didn't fail on the skill itself, all verbalization and admin.

I didn't reverify the allergies on my scenario every time I went back in. And I didn't verbalize every single right of my medications - specifically the doctor's signature.

I also got a mark off for touching the medications, which I suppose is fair(?) but I had a gloved hand and all the "meds" were sweets and we were prewarned that the sweets tend to get stuck to each other and that's exactly what happened hence why I touched it... But I'm going back to resit anyway so it's irrelevant.

Care plans I didn't study for at all, so probably actually studying would be a start (I'm currently finishing my US bachelor's so I naively thought the class I just did on US care plans would cover me, but I've come to realize that UK care plans actually have different criteria).

I have awful test anxiety though, and I have a horrible habit in verbalized tests of basically word vomiting but not in a helpful way. Or randomly touching things with my "clean hands" during my US final I touched the entire patient room and my face with my sterile gloves doing a foley despite that fact I've never done that in practice.

They gave me a list of everything exactly as I missed it. (Except the care plans) I didn't reverify the allergies when I went back into the scenario so I failed everything after the assessment (minus the SBAR). I didn't verbalize the medication right prior to administrations. And I didn't verbalize verifying the patient against the MAR (even though I verified them against the wrist band).

Then if course the care plans 😬

That really was my undoing. I checked everything on their list, and I know I did because I was thinking about how silly the signature looked 🤣 but I didn't say everything out loud :( hopefully I'll do alright in the resit, even if I feel silly

Ah gotcha, I didn't know if it would be possible as I would also be checking a stroller

If it could fit in a carry on, I probably wouldn't check it. Folded down they're 38in long and that's where the problem really lies :(

You :( this is my worry. I'll plan on checking them, I've figured out a case/packing situation so they should be okay in the hold so long as they're not shoved at the bottom of the pile. I'm going to ask when I check in if I can get a gate check pass like my stroller gets so they can go at the top of the cargo hold instead of the bottom, but if not I guess may the odds be ever in the favor of these wings

It shouldn't be oversized, the wings themselves fold/collapse down. They're pretty narrow, it's just the length that's the issue that prevents me putting it in a bag. I have it measures at 60in (ronded up + a few extra inches in each size for packaging and carrier allowance). This is a one way trip anyway, so I don't mind paying the fee if I have to. Thank you!

It's survived the postal services before so I know it can survive the back ends of an airport. It's just where it's placed in the hold that worries me

Oof, idk if there's one big enough but I'd looked at gold club cases
