Re: 3rd Year exams/essays
The Diploma module exam was pretty tough, they've really cranked up the level this year! I managed to answer 2 questions pretty well, another 3 I did ok in and the other 2 were just awful, to do with AWS and post op anxiety?? geeez! No idea when we get results, probably late Feb.
I got 61% for a group presentation on the critique of 6 articles. Was a wee bit disappointed in that mark as it doesn't really reflect the work we all put into it, however, it is level 3 and we all found it tough, so overall I'm pleased.
I sat my online research exam last night, results were posted this morning 61.5%. I'm so happy with that mark. Let me tell you, we all thought how can we fail an online multiple choice exam that you do at home with no one invidulating? Well let me tell you, the questions were so awful and so awfully worded that there was no other option that to guess or to feel lucky you knew the answer. Some of the questions had 8 or 9 lines of text to them!!! Once you'd read through that lot with all them big research words (some we'd never heard of!) you were lost by the time you got to what they were actually asking you. Then the options were sometimes 3 lines long for each option of perhaps 4...they were all similar so you had to work your way through them carefully. Bloody awful, glad it's done!

Re: 3rd Year exams/essays
Diploma module exam - 60%. I'm always disappointed in my marks, I like getting 70%+ but this exam was pretty hard and indepth.
However, considering how hard it was, the high failure rate and the passes all being really low I'm quite happy and content with my mark.
Nursing Studies essay on Sexual dysfunction due end of April, Therapeutic intervention in advanced cancer essay due 1st week of May and my crappy choice Diploma management module essay due end of April. Three 3000 essays due within days of each other. One final essay which must be due around August and that's me.
Well of course we have fortnightly presentations for diploma module and cancer module, a debate to prepare for in cancer module, some "seminar" that we have no details of yet for cancer module, 20 weeks of placement, our portfolio, action plans and reflections to do as well...oh and not forgetting the fortnightly off duty we have to work on...blah!

Re: 3rd Year exams/essays
So. Nursing Studies essay "Sexual Dysfunction in young women following breast cancer treatments - The role of the nurse", I thoroughly enjoyed writing this essay...well not writing it but learning from it...I got 62%. Actually very happy with it since I know I really didn't produce an essay based on my title..lol..I had hardly anything on the role of the nurse so felt sure I'd failed, so to get 62% was amazing.
My Cancer module Essay which I can't remember the title for..lol..but was something along the lines of "Cancer related fatigue - Exercise as an intervention" again another essay I learned lots from writing, I managed 75% which is probably more than I was expecting although I felt sure I'd written a good essay.
So that's me passed the degree element of my course, however that's the least important bit, everyone knows you can't practice unless you pass the diploma part (my course is diploma/degree combined). So I'm waiting on my diploma module result the essay was on managing change. I chose to manage the change from the usual medicine trolley to PODS at the bedside. We had 3 essay choices and managing change was the least popular choice so of course being me, that's the one I chose..lol. I felt I wrote a reasonable essay but you just never know. My facilitator is off sick and some of my group are not getting their results till Tuesday at the earliest so I have to sweat a little longer.
All that's left is one diploma module essay which is somehow related to our portfolio, rumour has it that it's a reflective piece. Really couldn't care less, just want to know what it is and make a start, we'll find out on Tuesday!
