About a week ago, Meador took the NCLEX, the "test that determines whether or not I am competent enough to take care of your loved ones."

Meador: [via email] That test was one of the single worst experiences of my life. I sincerely think I may have failed. I kind of want to hurt myself right now.
Nick: Don't hurt yourself, Meador! You're clearly not ready to take care of your injuries. I'm sure you aced it. You remember what you told me - people who thought they did great, failed, people who thought they bombed it, nailed it. You're in!

Nick was right. He passed.

Me: Do you know how much you passed by? Did you get a percentage or anything?
Meador: No. It just said, "Pass." I don't know what it would have said otherwise. "Fail." "Did Not Pass." "Try Again."

I like your phone's "key party" background theme.

Maybe the test is to see if you are worried about passing the test, like some sort of crappy episode of Lost.
