Graduation Party

Today was my graduation party. My mother put it on at her house. I am honored that it was all for me. We all had fun. It wasn’t a surprise – mom had it planned for a while. It celebrates the ending of my initial nursing education. Here’s a list of guests:

NCLEX-PASSED!

I found out this morning at 5:15 am that I passed the NCLEX-RN and that I am now a licensed Registered Nurse. I called and told my mother at 5:45. I am elated and ready to work!

NCLEX-DONE

So I finished the NCLEX at about 80 questions. The waiting period is HELL. I remember last year when I took the NCLEX-PN. I knew I failed and the test shut off at 85 questions (the minimum). I did just fine and passed last time. THIS TIME, I either did just fine and passed or [...]

NCLEX-RN

I am at the Fairfield Inn, Bangor, Maine. I only spent $69 to stay the night here. WOW! I’m here because I am going to take the NCLEX-RN exam this morning at 0800. I am worth the exam and ready for it. I can pass and I will pass. Thank you Heavenly Father for helping [...]

Passed

So it is with exuberance that I present to you the news of my passing Final and passing ERI exams. I wonder if I will have a hard time coming back to normal life. No.

Last Week of School

TASKS:
1) Pass ERI test: RN Assessment at national level – without it I will fail school – sorry, school policy sir.
2) Pass Clinical – URGENT
3) Pass Final exam with an 82 or better. A MUST!
Pray for me. This is the last week of school and I have a hefty and difficult last seven days. Pray [...]

Declaration

I am looking forward to being done with school and finally being able to see everything around me. I want to do family history work. I want to go to the temple. I want to work and earn money. I want to be a good nurse, father, husband and son of God. I want to [...]

Inspiration – follow-up.

I have so much to say and so little awake time to type it all. I am so tired ’cause I got up after 5.5 hours of sleep at 5am this morning. I went to clinical – which was good and I think I might be interested in substance abuse nursing. Then I came home [...]

Thank You Sue, Thank you Kim

Sue: Thank you for your comment. It reminds me that I need to be accountable for my actions and I have to analyze myself and who I am, not analyze others or blame others. You’re right. I’m just tired of nursing school’s make it or break it attitude. I am tired of seeing the rejection [...]

:-(

So…I got a letter from a hospital giving me the all-too-familiar rejection letter. “We’re sorry, but we picked somebody infinitely more wise, knowledgeable and oh we DO wish you good luck. Ta-ta!” I’m tired of the down-right freakin’ rude rejection letters after weeks of wait. I’m tired of wondering if my previous nursing school’s [...]
