I finally get to post that I am done with nursing school. I first found this website as an assignment in my first quarter of school. I have chugged along and gone through stress beyond belief, crazy clinical situations, papers from you know where, burnout, irritating classmates (there is a really old thread called tell me about the wacko in your nursing class that is a hoot to read) unfair test questions, ERIs, HESIs, you name it, I survived it. I have been hanging out in allnurses, being jealous of those finishing and feeling good whenever a new class entered, because both of these things signified that my time to be done was getting closer.
I have a job (in an area I LOVE but never would have chosen for myself 2 years ago), and am waiting for my authorization to test. To tell you the truth it is a little sad, I am going to miss all my NS friends, we joke around that we are so close because we have survivor syndrome.
I am getting sentimental, guess it's time to stop. Just make sure that you enjoy the journey.
