Hey bro.

My suspicion is you'll be fine. My very first pt had EVERYTHING that pointed to heart attack, and I forgot to order troponins on his workup. The beauty of CS - if anything about it is any good - is that you get your score report, with the word "Pass" written four times, and you're $1000 lighter and one step closer. Moreover, I think that you are better off on CS if you do a little bit of everything well rather than one thing perfectly. I absolutely cut my history short in order to get to the physical, and I absolutely cut the physical short in order to chat with the pt. You'll be fine.

Listen - I was a phone call away from going to NJMS, and you and I used to chat a bit here on sdn. What are did you decide to go into?

Good luck with things.

haha..ya i remember....i gonna go into EM....it was a tough battle btwn EM and IM, then i was gonna do IM/EM together...but then EM won out.

in the process of applying....wats up with u?

ya and about CS...i just freaked out cuz i was reading posts from way back when ( 2006 i think) where LOTS of people from one testing site failed on SDN...and everyone said they did everything correctly.....im pretty sure i missed a TON!!!! I went through the ROS like a robot...asking one by one...rushed through the physical and rushed through the closing. I HATE having to wait till Dec. 3 to find out...
