Approximately another 30 minutes, our dispensing exam is officially ended. I was in the first group so I'm at my home now.
Dispensing exam is indeed a stressful exam that I have to overcome. To overcome my fear and panic. This time, I managed to submit all my prescription but with the last one not completely done. I scribble my answer sheet as I don't have much time to complete it. It was a drug interaction prescription that I did before during practice. I can say that God is being very kind and helpful to me. All lecturers are very helpful and the prescription I got is not that I've yet seen before, maybe one or two which is new to me.
I was panicking and nervous all the way since the exam starts until an hour left before the exam ends. I thought I had the time and so I slowed down my pace. But then only I realised that it needs more time for me to figure out the appropriate drug. I did this before but I forgotten and start panicking even more. My mind was blank. I couldn't think so much and just dispensing both of the drug that have interaction. By that time, I know I'm going to fail this already.
After everything ended, I broke down. I just couldn't take the stress anymore. Friends told me that it's alright not to change the drug, provided I mentioned about preventive measure or extra precaution steps to be taken. I did in my counselling but not knowing if the marker is able to read my handwriting. Then only I recalled back then I left out the solution box empty, which makes me worried even more.
Now, although I've dispense this prescription, there's a 50 : 50 chance that I'll fail. It's really a great pressure retaking this exam. Apart from all of these, I'm proud of myself in a way that I managed to dispense 7 completely. Normally, I failed to do that due to lack of understanding. Despite me saying these, I'll be sad if I have to go back once more. Everyone knows how terrible it is. Right now, it's over and the only thing I could do is praying hard that I can pass this, even if its just a borderline pass.
I don't really want anything else except successfully finishing my pharmacy course. I hope God will help me once again and I'm really sorry for asking too much. Like I said, I have 3500 words report waiting for me and I'll be having mock OSCE next week. Studying pharmacy is really a stressful but I know I can do it. My motive is just to graduate and help as many people as I can. I don't care if I'm able to earn lots, most important thing is other people's safety. So, right now let's just all pray that I can pass this dispensing exam and all my other exams successfully with one go. I'll always be gratitude to it.
May God be with us all.
