Graduation Countdown!!!

Published

Y'all can see from my countdown how long I have, but what about all of you? And what are your plans after? I'm hoping to get hired at the unit where I'm doing my senior integration.

Specializes in Med/Surg..

We finished Classes yesterday :biggringi Our last test is Monday, then an ATI Comprehensive Exam, and the "Final" Final Exam. We have a little over a week off after that - then Graduation/Pinning on May 19th. The Monday after Graduation, most of us are heading back to school to attend a week long NCLEX Review. I'd be curious to know how many of you are taking these review courses. I've heard they're very helpful, so the extra money to take the course seems well worth it.

Not sure about the rest of you, but I'm ready to get back to a normal routine - no more late nights studying. And, this may sound terrible, but after a few years sitting in classes with the same people (some very nice, some not so nice), it's time to move on and start our Nursing Careers - on our own and see what we're capable of. Wishing you all the Best....

I fully agree with you, Susan!

I have two clinicals (shortened days as well!) a management exam and my final and that's it. It's almost surreal. Our pinning/grad is 5/12. I don't think I'll know what to do with myself. (Then again, working and joining Weight Watchers to drop the 20 pounds I've gained in nursing school would be a nice start.....)

I graduate in the LPN program on June 23, 2006 and the pinning is June 22, 2006. I am soooooooooo geeked that I am about to be a nurse. I have a interview set up for Tuesday with a BIG Hospital here. The only thing, it is with a Docs office and the pay I know will suck. The Hospital has what they call a NEW GRAD program and they are trying to grab any new grads they can. I am going to interview but I am not going to take the first job handed to me....

I've finished my preceptorship. I will do my leadership project this week. We are doing the HURST review course May 8-11. Graduation is May 13th at 9am. We don't have a pinning ceremony because we are a BSN program.

I figure I'll get my temp license by the beginning of June. I start my job June 12th. I will most likely be taking boards at the end of June.
