I graduated on May 12th and it's been a LONG wait for the state to finally issue authorization to test with Pearson. July 7th at 8 AM is the big day.
Our nursing program gave each graduating nurse a scholarship "gift" of the Kaplan 4-day NCLEX prep. I've been doing practice Q-Bank questions nearly every day. So far, I'm doing pretty well on the trainers & Q-Banks. I simply cannot wait to get this over & done with. I have a job lined up and I cannot start until I pass the NCLEX, per their policy.
My nursing license arrived in the mail today...YAY! Now it's really official :)
Got my scrubs ordered (they're being embroidered with the hospital logo as we speak). I ended up getting a pair of cute, colorful Dansko shoes. I wasn't sure if I'd like them or not, but they were so comfy. I just loved them. The guy at the scrub store said Danskos are definitely love 'em or hate 'em, with not much in between.

How long do you get to train with another nurse before you're on your own? We had a home nurse for infusions for a family member and she loved the autonomy :)

They have said about 2 to 3 weeks before I am out and about on my own. I love it for autonomous schedule as well! It is not all that new because I have worked 4 years in a home health office. So I knew the perks prior to entering. I have been aiming to apply to CCU, but with my upcoming school and family duties I cant work nights or variable schedules at the moment.

That's great to have so much flexibility! :) I'm waiting to start BSN courses in January so I have time to get used to my job first. I've been so burned out on school, it's nice to have a break! I worked on courses towards the BSN in between semesters at nursing school, so I will only have 10 more courses to complete to finish the BSN.
