So here's my plan for NCLEX EXAM, we live abuot 25 miles from where i'm supposed to take the exam. I'm taking my exam at 8 am and I would be driving with traffic so the greatest husband in the world helped me to come up with my plan:
Night before(august 18th)
1. drop off kids at friends house
2. hubby and I check into a hotel close to the testing center (no fighting traffic the next day)
3. relax at hotel with husband have a salmon dinner drive by the testing center, review my labs and meds, go to bed
day of test (august 19th)
1. wake up eat a nice protein rich breakfast
2. drive to the testing center
3. BATTLE THE BEAST (and win)
Post test:
1. I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND BABY!!!!!!!!
2. stay the night and come home on the 20th
3. 21st board a bus with my bff head to T.J. to volunteer at a children's library that needs new books and repairs
4. come home late on the 21st, go to sleep
date of the 22nd,
wake up before god and start checking the california BON every 35 seconds....
Thats my plan anyway, but seeing as that nothing goes according to plan, it will probrably be something like this:
day before:same as above
day of: oversleep, eat mcdonalds, show up with the wrong paperwork, cry, get ahold of everything i need run back to testing center, barely make it in time to take the test, rush through it, it will shut off at like 75-80, cry, cry, cry, get in my car, cry, cry, pick up kids, cry, explain to my friend why i'm crying, drive to disneyland and check the BON website every 15-20 seconds on my blackberry.....sound familiar to anyone???????? BTW did i mention that my 11th wedding anniversary is on the 17th:redbeathe
