I Passed on my 4th Try

[the_alchemist]

i got numbed all over when i learned that I did pass... and I'm telling you, awesome, great, wonderful and all the superlatives are an understatement!

the first three times that I tried to take the test, I knew that I was gonna fail. I wasn't at all motivated to be a nurse. it wasn't my choice. i didn't want to join the crowd of RNs and wanted to be something else. at the same time, a lot of things happened which may have also contributed to my lack of preparation.

time came when i finally bumped my head on the wall and realized that I studied 4 years, blood sweat and tears, to finish BSN, and all I have to do to get started is to get a license. one of my motivations probably is the financial reward (i'm broke! haha), but more than that is the fact that I have finally decided to be a nurse, to work with patients and to join the crowd of life-savers.

So on friday the 13th (lucky day i guess hehe) i took the test with confidence and waited for the results with the kind of feeling that I didn't have the past three times, and 4 days later (that was quick, as compared to 2 weeks of waiting for the dreaded 'failed' results), i couldnt believe what i saw on the board of nursing website.. my name with an RN attached to it. the next day, i got my license. what a sigh of relief!
