I take boards tomorrow (Monday the 14th) and I almost gave in today and reviewed information!!! I spent the day shopping with my mom, got some new scrubs:) had lunch and was just about to sit down and go over some info....when I decided to go on here and tell you all about my almost slip up!!! I feel confident for tomorrow but another part of me is FREAKING out! Is that even possible? Not only am I taking boards tomorrow but it is the anniversary of my best friend's death, we lost her 3 years ago to a grueling 6 year battle of osteosarcoma. No I'm not crazy for taking boards on this day...she's the reason I'm becoming a nurse (more specifically a peds oncology nurse on the very floor she was treated) and I just felt good about this day and I know she'll be watching over me. After the test I'm heading to her parents house with out little circle of friends and having a picnic in their memorial garden. Tomorrow will be a good day:)

GOOD LUCK, I think it is a good idea to take it on the anniversary of your friends passing. You know she will be with you while you are taking it.
