legit & legal
well I PASSED. i am an official RN, BSN.
the worst test EVER and the worst 48hrs. i prob think worse than child birth (although i have yet to experience labor...i really beileve that this feeling is worse) since 2003 i have been working towards this goal.
these past few weeks have been pretty intense. getting real sick, trying to study for the biggest exam i have yet to take, and then thinking I FAILED. not fun.
but it was this past wed i took the exam at 2pm, studied hard for it, and felt pretty prepared. this test is NUTS and i really must have had some angels watching out for me, cuz i guessed on ALOT of questions. it is a computerized test, and can shut OFF at ANYTIME it wants to depeding on how well you are doing. min questions of 75, and max of 265, and up to 6 hrs! YEA! i was going along and the last number i remember seeing is like 160 something..i was freaked out about running out of time, so i was rushing and the questions were getting easier (NOT a good sign) they are supposed to get harder. i thought great i failed, i kept getting math questions (which i am HORRIBLE at) and had a tear fall becuase i was so burnt out of questions and the last thing i wanted to do was math calculations! needless to say the computer shut off before 200 quest, and i knew i failed! my last question was stupid and easy. i walked out of the center, going crazy. i called my nursing friends, freaking out, and prob shouldnt of drove home, (i dont even remeber leaving or driving)! i seriously have the bestest friends giving me support and trying to calm me down. words cant describe what its like after this test, but they could relate, therefore i waited to call family.
HOWEVER, last night about midnightish i found out i passed! i had my friend amy look it up for me becuase i was way to nervous to get the news. i was in shock and could barley sleep. then got up at 545 am for work, pretty much running on adrenaline all day. my co workers r the best too and im excited to start working with them FULL TIME (yikes) but let the $$$$$ making begin! (oh and my life as a human being too)
orthopedic & trauma here i come :)
