Well, I don't mean to brag but I consider myself lucky to have accomplished some of the things I have in the past 2 1/2 months of 2010. First off, I passed HESI. That in and of itself is a great accomplishment for me.
About of month after that I took my state boards. I will say that I have never been so nervous in my entire life! After 265 questions and 4 hours of pure torture I finished the NCLEX exam. That lead me to the WORST weekend of my life! You don't find out if you passed immediately after the test so the whole weekend was filled with a sick feeling in my stomach. Needless to say, the 3 1/2 years of school, traveling back and forth to Phoenix for clinicals, hours of studying for tests, and countless tears cried, nothing can beat the feeling of being COMPLETELY and TOTALLY done with school! I PASSED NCLEX!!! I never-ever want to take that test ever again! TORTURE I tell you, TORTURE!!!
Last but not least, after two failed attempts, I have noticed, FINALLY, the grass is growing!!!
Amid the manure grows green grass, not weeds like the previous two times...real grass! AMAZING!!! Now, if I can only get a garden growing. Any pointers?
