I took my final nursing exam yesterday. I'm a graduate RN. Thank you Lord, couldn't have done it without Him. What a long journey this has been. CNA 2006, LPN 2009, RN grad 2011 hopefully BSN soon after.
Hesi is next week, then pinning on the 20th, and ofcourse NCLEX. Whew. It still hasn't it me yet. Congrats to all December grads.

You must share how it feels to have nursing school behind you.

It honestly haven't hit me yet. Maybe because I still have the HESI exam to take and boards. It does feel like a huge load has been lifted off. I'm so ever so grateful. I really am. It was a long road. In the back of mind I always thought I wasn't smart enough or competent enough. I would think of 1000 ways I would probably fail. I had so much doubt even to my last exam. I now have so much more confidence in myself. God gave me the strength I never thought I had. Wow. Can't believe its' over....:redbeathe
I keep thinking, "Ok I need to study...there's something I'm missing, etc." I am done and it doesn't feel real...these past 2 years have been non-stop and now it's like STOP lol...really? It's ok for me to play farmville instead of studying lab values and doing case studies? I am going to take a break for a bit and let my brain recouperate and then will start preparing for boards. I start my job on Jan. 30, so I have plenty of time.

Congratulations! I'm in my third year of a BSN and I feel the same way. I can't wait till it's finished.
