I have been having a run of really good luck lately. The first thing that happened was I got offered a nurse externship this summer at a hospital.. I am very excited because I will be working in a very busy E.R. for 5 weeks in a level 1 trauma center, and then 5 weeks on a trauma unit. I just put my notice into my current employer and it was a great feeling, mainly because they treat me like crap there.
Then I got my graded careplan back and recieved 30 out of 30 points on it. Finally on my nursing exam last week, I got a 92%. This has been my highest grade so far and I am so proud. I'm just waiting for something really bad to happen since I have been having all of this good luck lately so I am enjoying it while it lasts.
Has anyone else had a good turn of events lately? I thought with finals comming up we could share some positive things.
May not sound like much, but I got 2 basement rooms rearranged to facilitate painting, AND sewed a baby blanket from scratch this weekend... in addition to running errands, cleaning the house, and spending time with the family. I haven't had a weekend this good in a long time! YAY!

I totally understand you on that one. I actually got to see my family this weekend too, as well as doing a months worth of dirty laundry. I visited my aunt for the first time since Christmas today, because I'm not sweating the final now. I just feel so good going into my final knowing that I can miss 45 out of 100 and pass. Don't get me wrong, I am still going to study as hard as I always do, but alot of pressure is off now. So needless to say I had a good time visiting this weekend.

Thanks everyone for all your kind words. I guess it seems as though I always study so hard and end up in the 80's on all my exams, so when I saw my grade I contributed it to luck, but I did earn it. It just goes to show that as long as you stay consistent and don't give up things will start to fall into place. Even though I don't have children yet I am beginning to feel like nursing school is alot like giving birth. I say this because I can't even remember (barely) the two nights I stayed up til 3:00a.m. studying. Just like they say after giving birth you forget the pain, I think after doing really well on a nursing exam you forget the hard work and just say it was luck. Does anyone else feel this way?

This past week I scored a 90% on my last exam in parent/child than 4 days later I pulled off a 99% on her final!! I could'nt believe it, I was/am thrilled.
That class has been a GIANT pain in the a-- for me since January and I am very glad to say goodbye to it.
I have my Adult Health II final this afternoon but am not sweating it to much as I am going into it with a 86% overall grade.
Applied for several places in our facility and interviewed with all
Applied and interviewed for a great day shift job that runs m-f from 6a-3p and got it.
Still have the 4.0 GPA.
Graduation's a month away.
Finally, FINALLY, met a sweet, wonderful guy. (So far he's perfect, haven't found any flaws so far...). Even though we're 3 hours apart, and it'll be a little over 2 years before i can move anywhere, he encourages and supports me, and wants to take every weekend he can to see me.

That's great news. You deserve it. Believe me, I know how hard it is to find a nice guy who is supportive through nursing school. I am actually dating a nurse now, and he seems to be the only person in my life right now other than my classmates that is supportive and understands what I am going through.
