Most definitely her mothers daughter!
The best of luck to her and prayers for her good health.
Kat

My smart vibes are working overtime!!

Oh WOW! Sending LOTS of positive brain power and super smarts to her. Good luck Ashley!!!!

Alexa

Why do I have a good feeling about this - she is a good test taker, thats for sure!

Sending Ashley all my smart cells. I'm on vacation, so I don't need them this week.

A

What a trooper! I predict that she will feel spontaneously much improved when this is behind her. I'm sending what smart cells I have. Judging from the state of my life, I apparently haven't been using them much lately.

I also am sending her my smart cells. I still remember taking my boards over 30 years ago. My roommate and I had a breakfast for about 20 in our class. We all left in several cars for the exam and the most uptight girl in our class mooned us all while we were driving on the interstate.
Now that was a tension breaker.

Good Luck Ashley,
Linda

My guess is that Ashley has enough smarts and doesn't need any of ours. No doubt in my mind that she will ace it.

Ann

Sending Ashley great energy and postive passing thoughts! She is a trooper with her eye on the ball!!

Good for her! Best of luck Ashley!

Go Ashley! Good Luck!!

I am confident that she will do great!

As some of you already know, I am in short supply of "smart cells", but I'll forward on what I can spare! LOL

GO ASHLEY!

Linda

Okay, I got out the virtual pom poms and did a cheer for Ashley. Go get 'um Ashley!

I am thinking smart thoughts for Ashley -- E=MC^2; a^2 + b^2 = c^2; the golden mean is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency.

Okay, I'm out of brain power now. (GO ASHLEY!)

Very best of luck and smart thinking to Ashley! I agree, she IS her mother's daughter, which bodes well for excellent results!

Wishing the best for Ashley and waiting to hear her great results.

Lee

I'd send her smart cells if I had any, but the best I can do is send her my very best wishes and the confidence she'll do great on the boards!

Sally

Will keep everything crossed and send lots of smart vibes in Ashley's direction. Also health vibes, mine are working well at the moment.

best for the boards, coming her way!

OK, you can all have your smart cells back, she just called and tole me she "just barely" passed. She needed a 75 and got 82, so I think that's a pretty decent margin of safety, although she was disappointed she didn't do better.

So now I'm on my way to Lansing to celebrate!

thanks everyone, for the loan of the smart cells, be sure when you're sorting though you get your own back. Or can we "swap" and thereby gain some new knowledge? (grin)

Annie

Woo hoo! Results already! Give her an extra hug from me!

Congrats to Ashley and to you Annie, go celebrate and breathe!
Gina

Way to go Ashley-- CONGRATULATIONS!! That's a pretty darn good score for feeling carpy!

So glad she passed! I think that under the circumstances, the score she made is fine. What boards are you talking about?

So Ashely is in Grand Rapids, and you are going to Lansing to celebrate? I guess you can pick her up on your way. I hope she is feeling better - but I also avoid Vicodan except for extreme emergencies. I wouldn't be able to study if I took it either.

Congratulations to the both of you!

Lars

Congrats all around! Go Ashley! Go Mom!

Congratulations to both Ashley & you, Annie. Let the celebrations begin...

/tricia

Yippee! Whats the next step?

Sorry I didn't get here in time for smarts wishing but as you know know she made it without them. Congratulations Ashley and to you Mama!

Beverly

Great! It's nice she found out right away too.

WooHoo! Good news indeed. Congratulations Ashley - it isn't easy to study and take an important test when you feel like carp. Hope you feel good enough now to celebrate.

Lee

WOO-FREAKIN'-HOO! Great job, Ashley!

We are all proud of you! Ya dun good!

Linda

Way to go, gurl! We all knew you would pass that test, even feeling like carp! Please tell Ashley how proud we are of her, Annie!

I was ready to post that it was after 5 PM here and any smart cells I have had already packed up and gone for the day. So glad she didn't need them.

Yes...WOO - FREAKING - HOO!!

Congrats Ashley!!!!! Fantastic news!
Have a great celebration Annie :-)

Alexa

Great job Ashley. Back in the olden days when I took my Radiology boards it took 2 months to get the results back. I hope you get to feeling better.
Linda

Congratulations to Ashley! What a relief for her.

Now she can relax and try to get well again.

I bet you're so happy Annie.

SharonCb

Such good news, what a relief indeed, she's such a brave girl.

As for swapping smart cells, I would love a sprinkling of cooking cells thrown my way, lol....

Congratulations Ashley!! Annie you must be very proud of her. I sure hope they figure out her health challenges and she is feeling better and back to her normal feisty self very soon.

David

Way to go Ashley! It's been a tough road for you latley.

Good luck to what ever is next in line for you.

Good thing I didnt throw in any cells, but I will take some cooking cells if someone doesnt need theirs.. :)

Lars, Ashley was takaing the state certification board examination to complete her radiology training, her next step is to actually find a job as an x-ray tech or some other radiology position.

She was tested in Grand Rapids, but I was on my way to Lansing to meet Cooking Forum friends, so I celebrated in Lansing and she celebrated....somewhere else, LOL. She's still out with her friends.

I'm also glad they know right away, although it takes 6 weeks to get the official papers. The wonders of technology!

Annie

Yay AShley! With her boards behind her now I hope she gets better soon. Perhaps if it was stress related as opposed to haveing an organic cause things will settle down by themselves. Fingers crossed.

Congratulations Ashley. I can't say I'm surprised though.

Ann

Congratulations to Ashley. Enjoy the moment.
Jo

Good for her! What a relief it must be to have that behind her now lets get this health stuff behind her!

Way to go, Ashley! I'm hoping that she can now concentrate on getting better. I bet having this over with, she'll get better quickly.

Sally

Way to go Ashley....Remember no one knows about that "shameful" score of 85 but you and CF world. and what do they call the person who finished last in his class at Med School? Doctor!
And I know you will get a job offer very soon!!
Linda C

How wonderful! What a girl you have raised, Annie. Congratulations to you both!

Congrats!!

YAY!!!! Best of luck with the job search :-)
