12 weeks!!

So yesterday I talked to my nursing bestie and he said what I've always said, he was bored, lol.  I TOLD him.  We were both lamenting that our program doesn't go through the summer like other programs around.  I mean seriously, we could be done TWO WHOLE SEMESTERS early if our program went through the summer months.  So after we got done complaining for a good 10 minutes I went and looked at my calendar & realized that we only have 12 weeks left until school starts again, woohoo.  So four weeks down, only 12 more to go.  And yes, I have actually started enjoying my summer. The kids are out of school & we've already been to the lake 3 times.  It's different from last summer though, this year we're actually having a spring, which is so nice.  Spring is tied for my favorite season.  I love it when the days get longer and it's warm enough to swim during the day, but still cook enough to wear a light jacket at night.  I'm sure the more summer goes and the more relaxed I get then I probably won't be as ready to jump back into school.  Ok, you're right, you know me better than that, I will ALWAYS want to be in school (well at least until I'm done).

But in the interim this is what I've been enjoying:




with these precious faces:



Thank God they're in school or else it would be so much harder to leave them and go to school myself.

I hope everyone else is enjoying their summer break.  :)

I'm still alive!! Tomorrow is the NCLEX!

So as you can see I have GRADUATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!  I am SO happy that nursing school is over, but can we say holy terrified?  Tomorrow is the NCLEX & I feel thoroughly unprepared.  Fortunately our school provided us with the HURST Review  and even though I have been studying this for about 2 weeks now I still feel completely terrified to actually take the test.  Of my former classmates I know of one so far who has failed....so scary... The rest of them are chugging along & passing on a daily basis, hopefully I will be one of them! But to rewind, here are a few pics from graduation & my graduation party that my precious husband & sister threw for me: That's my baby girl to my right, she looks taller than me!   I seriously couldn't have been cheesing any harder!! My nursing bestie & his bf hiding in the back! My study buddy!   My inlaws, aren't they precious!! Definitely one of the ...

Got the job!!

So the director of the Med/Surg floor said I would hear something by today and well, I waited as long as I could before calling her seeing as I hadn't heard from her.  I said I would wait until 4:00 but by 3:30 I was chomping at the bit so I called her.  She said "I was just filling out your paperwork to offer you the job"!!! Yay me!!      Now I know it's just a PCT/CNA job, but hey it gets my foot in the door right?  I've talked to several of my friends who are in the semesters ahead of me & they've all said the same thing.  "Get a job NOW".   I have one friend who said she can't even get a PCT job b/c no one will hire her b/c she's too close to graduating.  I never thought of that. Why wouldn't they want to hire you knowing that soon you'd be able to be a nurse there??  I don't know, but I am glad to have the job.    The director said she thinks the pay is $10 an hour, which is pretty dece...

I passed!!!

Sorry it took me so long to post, but yes I passed the dreaded NCLEX!! I was so nervous but it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I got 141 questions & I swear around question 130 I thought "I'm the one, I'm going to get all of the questions", but luckily I wasn't, but my friend was!  Me & two of my friends took it at the same time & one finished with 75, then there was me & then the other one got all of the questions, thankfully though we all passed!!  After it was over we all came together & did "the trick" & yes it really works.  2 of my friends failed & they were able to go all the way to the credit card screen after taking the test, but everyone that passed was stopped before getting to that scree, so just in case you're wondering, yes the trick really works. So, I have been working on Med Surg now for about a month & I have to say that I have really learned some interesting things of which I will...
