AWESOME IDEA!!!

1. Read the Bible. Trust me, it helps!
2. Read some Harry Potter ( I know, I know...whatever) It really takes your mind off your problems.
3. SLEEP!!!! Try to relax and clear your mind.
4. Work out. It makes you tired, or hungry, which in turn actually makes you sleepy, which goes with my #3.
5. Get acquainted with family (those you've completely forgotten about during nursing school )
6. Go to an amusement park and take out that nervous energy in walking long miles in the park.

And last, but not least...
7. PIG OUT ON ALL THE FOOD YOU CAN FIND!!!!

Call your parents and reassure them that you are still alive and that you don't mean to not call but your life has taken a drastic turn and in about 1 and 1/2 years they will be proud to say that's my son or daughter the RN

When i'm waiting for my Patho and Foundations test grades to be posted i hang out with the gurls i live with in the dorms. We go see movies and sing to really loud music in the floors common room. Last time we saw RENT and i was so tired from studying that they got me to dance on one of the tables to La Vie Boheme. :Melody: i still cant live that one down.

My kitchen counters get everything removed, I scrub and soak and polish appliances and nooks and crannies. I clean out the fridge (CLEAN, not just empty!). I polish the furniture. I scrub stains of unknown origin off my kids floors.

My hands stay busy, my house looks great, and I used up that anxiety energy!

You are always welcome at my house.

Those things are very nice to do. I hope that someday, when I will be having my exams and have to wait for the results, I will remember to take some time for my self and relax a bit.

Try not to focus on how much you want to VOMIT.

Seriously, I'm waiting to TAKE the darn thing, and I'm so queasy...

We're planning to visit my wife's sister and her hubby in Australia as soon as I take the NCLEX. If I can schedule it well enough I want to test one day and then leave on the next day. Three weeks in Brisbane, no worries mate. There will be plenty of time for the results and license to come through.
