it's the moment i've been waiting for. the one remaining piece of information that has been holding me back at work. my authorization to test. why is it that i am sooo nervous all of a sudden? i've been to a great review course. i have the information. i know i'm a good test taker. i guess its just thinking... this is finally it. ya know?? moment of truth.

so, i scheduled it for tuesday, feb. 5th at 9:00. yes. 9 days away. i want to go back through my review book before that day, and i think with 4-5 hours each morning before i go to work around 12, i should get that accomplished. plus, i'll have this coming weekend and the monday before i test to look back over some things. that's a reasonable day to test, right? i want to give myself enough time to refresh... but i don't want to push myself too hard either. and i don't want to put it off too long either. i do want to get it over with.

trauma... you're tellin' me! it has flown... i thought i had more time. afterall, the application said it could take up to 11 weeks. it hasn't even been 4 yet. i think i'll be okay. i texted my supervising md yesterday and she said they'd be prayin for me and to do whatever i needed to in order to pass as that is my #1 priority. i won't be much help to her in the future if i don't... so it's cool that she's working with me so well. i'll keep you guys posted!!

How exciting! My personal advice. Review your materials. I used my handouts from my review class. The day before boards I put it away. I relaxed and got a good nights sleep. I went to IHOP the morning of and had a yummy breakfast and took the test. Don't get yourself all nervous. To be honest, I didnt think it was that bad. Make sure to read the question. DO NOT read more into the question than is there. Keep us posted. Also would love to hear how you are enjoying your job.

thanks everybody! just a minor change of plans... i will be taking it on wednesday instead of tuesday, but i'll be sure to keep ya posted! i've heard it isn't all that bad either, kristie. it's still a little nerve-wracking. :) i plan to utilize all day monday and tuesday to browse through the material without the sensation of "cramming." i just don't want to go into the test flustered and overly worked up.

as for the job kristie... girl, i love it! this is where i was meant to be. i cannot imagine myself doing anything different. more info later on!

gotta head to the office...
