It wasn't by choice. I graduated then my son did. I was already to take it then my father-in-law passed away in July, then my mother-in-law in November. So while taking care of their affairs my cousin passed away of a heart attack, then uncle passed away. Then to top it off my mother was diagnosed with dementia. Life happens and that's water under the bridge now. I have to deal with the NCLEX! That was my point of question not waiting.
