Finally finished nursing school

Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

I finished!! I'm so excited to finally say those two words. Last Friday was my last day, as we had to complete a 3 day Hurst Review course (which was very helpful). I passed my exit exam with a 97% chance of passing NCLEX-PN on my first attempt and also finished this quarter with all A's. Okay, I'm done with all the bragging, I'm just so excited to have accomplished something so big. As each day goes by I get more excited about leaving my CNA job behind and moving into the nurse role. However, unlike many of you guys/gals I can't say this was my calling or I ever had a interest for nursing. Nursing was kind of a hit or miss for me but I have grown to love every minute of it, especially my 6 years of CNA work (O fun). Now 22 years old, I'm starting to look towards my future and know that I must make some changes in order to live the life I desire. One thing I will definitely miss, is being able to spend quality time with my patients as I know this will probably occur very rarely once in the nurse role. Also, I definitely plan on bringing my great CNA skills to whatever nursing job I get (thank god). Lastly, I know that this is not the end. I will continue to seek and learn new skills daily and try and be the best nurse I can. Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments and words of wisdom throughout nursing school. Also, good luck to everyone who is currently in school or thinking about going, it's definitely worth it. I'll keep you guys updated on RN school, which starts next month (Yikkkes). Now back to studying for NCLEX-PN, any helpful tips will be appreciated.

Congrats!!!! Big accomplishment! I'm torn between LVN & RN but more than likely will do LVN ATM just because of time being a major issue for me right now. I hope to start school in 6 months or less *crosses fingers*
