Does anymore know if you are re-testing one station because you failed the previous time, that, if you failed it again you would have take the whole practical exam again or just that one station again? Specifically I didn't pass CPR the last time b/c I couldn't ventilate the manikin's lungs appropriately so I failed. (My hands are small and I just couldn't get the seal.) This time, it was de-fib. I might have forgotten to verbalize after shocking to resume CPR, however soon after shocking and saying I would re-analyze, I verbalized MA protocol for shocking: 1 shock, no pulse check, 2 min. CPR, 1 shock, no pulse check, 2 min CPR,1 shock, no pulse check transport immediately, AND, one, no shock advised, 2 min. before re-analyzing, 3 no shock advised, transport immediately with or without ALS. Clearly I demonstrated my knowledge of this verbally during the exam, but not right at the appropriate time of demonstrating the specific step after giving the shock. I'm going to be in agony waiting to hear the results but at least knowing what I'm up against will be helpful.
