Okay so I am hooting my own horn. So?

Really, by the age of 50, if ya can't hoot your own horn... by golly.

On October 19th, I took the Medical / Surgical ANCC test for Board Certification. Honestly, I was sure I failed. I have a bad habit of remembering the wrong answers and quizzed my colleagues in the hall.

Some areas of questioning, I knew I knew; some areas were flat out best educated guess. I guess I guessed right!

Holy Moly! Now how do I sign my new initials? lol!

B.:D

I am WAY impressed. You GO girl!!!!

Mazel tov!! I'm not exactly sure what that means but it's more like GREAT! I like it better than congradulations because this is something you earned!

Can I get selfish? I never really told anyone, except my boss who needed to know, that I got certified last October! FNP, through the American Academy Of Nurse Practitioners (they are on a par with ANCC but - cheaper and easier to take the test, test just as hard).

Nightengale, not trying to rain on your parade. Maybe join it?

Wayyyy cooool Anne! I didn't know you were a NP! Dang girl!

Congratulations to US! And to all those who have been successful in passing. I know there are many of us. Why we do not pat ourselves more is such a waste..

Thanks, Nightengale. I'm still an RN though, first and foremost.

As always, I agree with you! We do need to pat our selves on the back more.

A hundred hundred pats to you and all of us.
