I passed!!

Just took my NCLEX PN this morning and I'm experiencing the the normal amount of relief and dread. I was cut off after the minimum number of questions (85 for me, 75 for RN) which freaks me out a little, and while I've read everything on the whole internet about how the number of questions you complete does not indicate anything about your pass/fail status, I'm just curious (and totally fishing for some anxiety relief) to see how Minimum Question People fared.

Thank you! I have read (and loved) Baby Catcher, and I just watched After Tiller per your recommendation, and am now evangelizing about it to everyone I know. :) Looking forward to Mama Sherpas!

Hi there, I'm a newbie student at the beginning of my nursing education (1 year down!), and though my CNM credential is a long way off, midwifery is the reason I decided to dive into the nursing field. I am an information-seeking type of person, and an avid reader, and I would love to have some book/journal/ etc recommendations to help keep me current and engaged as I power through the rest of my general nursing education. I have already read a LOT of what seem to be sort of 'classics,' as well as your basic doula cannon- All the Farm/Gaskin books, basically everything on the DONA reading list, 'Birth as an American Rite of Passage,' 'The politics of Breastfeeding,' 'Pushed' by Jennifer Block, 'The birth Partner,' Lamaze, Bradley, Hypnobirthing, several midwives memoirs etc, etc. I feel like I'm running out of things to read besides textbooks (nothing against textbooks- I like them too). I also feel that lots of what I've read is maybe no longer as relevant as it once was. What are your favorite journals to keep up on, both for recreational reading and keeping pace with EBP? Favorite books, whether 'informational' or 'inspirational'? Is there a good resource online to find out this sort of thing? ACNM's most recent book recommendation is from 2008. Also documentaries! Thanks!
