Yes, this is your favorite working girl FINALLY writing some updatage. I just finished my week’o'orientation, well, let me clarify, just finished my FIRST week of orientation. This was the fun week where we sat in front of computers and listened to “guest speakers” all day every day. Thankfully I had two amazing educators who made most things fun. I still have 12 weeks of on-floor orientation, where I learn how to be a nurse, woo!
After I got my NCLEX results I fled to the Lake for a glorious 5 days. It’s hard to describe what it felt like to have a truly responsibiliy/worry-free vacation for the first time in over a year. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I plan on repeating it next week when I have a WHOLE 6 consecutive days off and my dear cousins are in town. I can feel the jealousy as I read this, so I will move on.
Yes, it’s nice to join the working world, with all its paychecks and schedules and interaction with others. I am happy.

LOVE!

I passed the evil NCLEX and am now licensed to practice nursing in the state of Missouri!! Thank you for all of your prayers and support! It’s only through God’s grace that I made it through. I will write more later!

Hey yall.
I thought I’d update you on my life lately. Give you the 411. Ya know. I was supposed to start work on Monday, and did indeed go to orientation bright and early Monday morning. After several HUGE signs that something was NOT right, I went down to HR where they told me they’d messed up big time and I’d start orientation on July 5 instead. Apparently you’re supposed to fill out paperwork before you come into work…that’s how you get paid, and such. It was a huge relief to me though, because the NCLEX is tomorrow and my timeframe for studying was shrinking by the minute!
So yes, NCLEX tomorrow at 8AM. I try to not really think about all that it entails because it drives me crazy and makes me pee my pants. I find out Saturday morning if I’ve passed. This is how you’ll know: if I announce it here with big, bold letters, then I’ve passed! If I don’t say anything, I didn’t pass. So here’s to hoping there are some big, bold letters in my very near future.
Monday night went on a sort of set-up group-ish date. Exciting to “get out there” but I’m not sure it was a good match. Still fun. Yes, dad, I went on a sorta date Monday night and yes, I know you are the last to know everything. But honestly I didn’t think you’d let me out of the house wearing less than a burka. Sorry.
Today I’m relaxing, brushing up on a few things and daydreaming about NOT STUDYING at all next week, hopefully!
Thank you for your support and prayers!!

LOVE!
