I am so sorry. It is terrible not to pass an exam when you have put so much work into it. You'll just have to find someone to work off your frustrations on.

Hold on, I am sure that I can hear BC volunteering for that one :D

Can you retake your exam? And if so after how long?

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

In November, for a fee of $1100. I'm not sure if I can continue working though til then I've passed it. Oh shit.

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

You are not serious??? :eek:

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

I'm afraid I am.

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Oh *****, $hit and b@ll@*ks.
That would certainly make life difficult for you then. Is there anything else that you could do in the meantime? I mean is there another way round to get to the same point but earning while you do?

I know that these exams are not easy, my son's friend has just failed his physiotherapy exams too. He is now looking at a total change in career (in the UK this is).

I think that you need another large drink, lots of support and encouragement from all of us here and I am sure that something positive will come of this. :)

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Sorry to hear that Morw. You're not obviously incompetent - I've taken exams in the UK and have phucked them up not because of incompetence in the topic but because I had a completely different (and completely valid) interpretations of what various questions were actually asking. Cross-cultural misunderstandings are probably the culprit here.

Still....

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Have you contacted Calgary Health to see if you continue working?

I am really sorry to hear that, was it a big 'miss'?

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

I am sure I am perfectly competent to work in the areas in which I work. eg I can do hip and knee replacements standing on my head. But there are areas in which I have not practised for 20 plus years, and I did not study these areas enough I suppose.

I shall have to call the licensing board tomorrow to see if I can extend my licence to practise under supervision or what my options are. It's just really bad timing financially.

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

A word of warning Morwenna - don't do hip n knee replacements standing on your head - you never know where the replacements will end up!! :D

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Well I've just seen a client with a shoulder replacement, but I think she was right way up .... and I was. It was hard being cheery and encouraging though, when I opened that envelope on my way to see her!

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

I had to pass minimum of ten "stations" ... I got nine, so I suppose no it was not a big miss, but a miss is as good as a mile.

I'm going to talk to the licensing board first before I tell Calgary Health, as I suspect they won't have a clue unless I tell them what happens next. :rolleyes:
I tried calling when I got home but I missed them by 5 minutes I think.

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

I understand that you feel devestated, after studying etc but on a positive note at least now you will be better prepared for the resit. You will have a better idea of what is coming and how to interpret it. I don't know your circumstances but I am sure you will survive and go on to be a really good physio. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, so have another drink and put the exam behind you. Look forward and see what happens next. :beer:

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Did they tell you which 'stations' you 'failed'?

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

I am sooooo sorry; my commiserations Morwenna - you must be gutted :(

:beer: :beer: Drown your sorrows with these.

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Thanks guys .... I'm not feeling quite so awful now I have got over the shock somewhat, my family's all home and I've had something to eat.

Just gotta move on. First thing is to persuade the college that I am safe to be let out on my own, otherwise I shall be looking for another job. I think it's doubtful that I won't be able to work at all, having read the website again.

Ah well, c'est la vie. :beer:

I'll buy you all a beer for being good eggs!

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Well today is another day and I hope that a night's sleep has left you feeling a little better. Have a good day. :)

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 

Yes I feel much better today. :)
