Board Exam 10 days away

After spending 4 days in Colonial Williamsburg with my husband and my girlies, it is time once again to hit the books. My Nurse-Midwifery Board Certification exam is 10 days away. The more I study the more I waffle between feeling like my program covered a very small percentage of what I am expected to know to feeling like the topics I focused on for comps are merely review. That part is good. Confounding the studying issue is the pressure of keeping my job if I pass, and the offer being withdrawn if I don't. 175 multiple choice questions. On the spot results.
When I compare it to what the midwives in Colonial Williamsburg had to go through with growing and grinding their own herbs, creating their own tinctures, walking or riding on horseback in inclimate weather at all times of day and night, walking in on who knows what type of labor it puts things in perspective. The wealth of resources I have available for studying and the sweet little 12 hour shifts I'll be working two miles from home are a far cry from the demands of our foremothers in midwifery.
Hoping to keep all those things in mind when I feel like griping as the exam draws nearer.

Note the pic which shows a typical 1774 Apothecary. Gentlemen of the day trained primarily via apprenticeship, and were meant to function not only as pharmacist, but physician, dentist, and surgeon. Midwives might come by here and purchase some supplies needed for their birth kits, for example Borax which was intended to hasten a slower labor. La plus que change, la plus que meme chose.
