Failed , worst moment of my life - advil245

i know how terrible it is to fail in CS. success is not one day achievevent , its an evolution. evryone has to go through the ups and downs of life. think BIG. recocgnize ur talent one day u'll surely be successful. never give up.
I had excellent performance in my CIS part but failed in SEP because i spoke english very fast (then i realized american english is not spoken such fast) and second time i spoke very slowly & and i passed . above all second time i was confident. so confidence is key to success.
there are thousands of suggestions on this forum for CS . i'd like to say few things how i got excellent in CIS part.
For CIS part -be yourself, be confident, try to please SPs anyhow. be nice, show compassion.
i asked permission for everything, smile, say sorry and thank you at least 25-30 times . its very important to say sorry or thank you appropiately during P/E. Never hurry.
Most of the SPs will be sitting with their legs hanging down. when u need to examine abdomen , u'll ask hime to lie down, after done with abd exam , ask SP do u like to lie down or sit up? all SPs wants to sit up . help them during lying down and sitting up. never forget to pull leg extension.when SP sits up ask SP do u like to keep ur leg like this or hanging down ?
then hold their legs on ur forearms and push back the leg extension. in my case all SPs became happy with these gentle performances . if patient is having headache ask does light bother u , then swithc off the main light, another small light will be there.
although i couldn't finish 3 cases in time, i had just finished P/E . i passed. hope this helps and i'll post more later.

lalita2008, i want to write you, please give me your email.
joe168, are you making fun of those who failed. Please dont do this , this hurts a lot.
Money is not the matter, Failure takes away the confidence, it depresses down the moral.
I think all those who have failed are fighting with themselves at this stage. Please dont hurt anyone.
