Wow

Good news...I think!!

First off...we are both feeling better! No more vomiting. No more "feeling like we're dying". Good times!

NCLEX is behind me. It shut off at 75 questions. I was the 1st person in the room to leave. Kind of an eerie and awkward feeling...to be honest. The test could be 360 questions, or 75. It all depends on how you are doing. It adjusts the questions based on if you're getting them right or wrong.

So I was happily taking my test. And I answered question #75 - and the screen went completely blank.

..........................

I sat in my chair and look around the room. I thought to myself "Can't I get a few more questions??!! Just to make sure I passed?!"

All those hours of studying.

20 months of nursing school.

For 75 questions.

Wow!

To be honest, I'm glad it shut off at 75. If it would've gone to 360, I think I would've opened the window and jumped. Screaming. I was on the 10th floor.

I'm not ready to speak confidently. But.... I think I passed and am an RN. So that is exciting!!!

I am looking forward to a very relaxing evening. Ryan is out of town, so that means I will be cooking a not-so-meaty dinner, maybe pouring a celebratory glass of wine, and watching a chick flick!!! :)

I hope you did pour yourself a glass of wine - you deserved it!

i am not surprised that you were the first person done. I know you were so prepared for this! I am so proud of you and so excited for you! Will be good to have the official results in hand, but I have no doubt that you passed!

Congrats, nurse Abby1

RN Abby - doesn't that sound great? I'm dying to hear the official results although I'm sure you passed! Wish I could have been there to have a celebratory glass or two of wine with you! I bet you really missed Ryan last night with no one to talk to or a TV to watch! Did you watch a chick flick?

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for...

ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon! In the meantime, I'm doing this ABC bit that I stole from my cousin 's blog! Also, no -- I did not get switched to days. Trust me, I would've told the entire world and screamed it from roof-tops if I did. A. Age: 22, but that will change on Sunday. B. Bed size: King C. Chore you dislike: Cleaning the shower - especially dealing with hard-water stains. Lime away=ouch D. Dogs: Really really really really really dislike. Really dislike. Sorry.

30 Blogs: Something I'm Afraid of

This isn't a very difficult post for me to write about. I am such a "scaredy cat" about so many things. I could quite possibly turn this into a book. I was also the kid that wouldn't go on the monkey bars at school, out of fear that my arms may be ripped out of their sockets. I was the kid who got to the end of the diving board, and then shriveled into a ball at the end shaking in tears. I got to the top-climax spot on a roller coaster, and start saying "Oh my God, get me off this thing. I don't want to do it anymore! Get me off this thing!!" Then I went college, and majored in nursing. I leanred all the horrible ways one can reach multi-system organ failure. If I have too much coffee, and feel maybe the slightest heart palpitation - I am listening to my heart sounds with my stethoscope......... So here's my list of irrational some fears. ;) (some of these may be comical & pathetic to you):\ Heights Vomit (I've gotten better about th...
