T minus 39 days til nursing school starts!!!!

Published

Tomorrow I'll be done!!! The years of pre reqs & co reqs, are behind me now :banghead: and tomorrow I will get my second PPD read, get my titers filled in on my vaccination report, upload that to my new arch nemesis, Certified Background, :devil: and then I'm DONE! All that's left to do is the fun stuff, like orientation and getting my scrubs ordered. I wonder if it will be embarassing when I ask them for a size Medium to try on. They will probabaly say, "Girl..... really?" And then they'll :roflmao:..... I'm no longer having dreams of my teeth falling out :nailbiting: (dental exam anxiety) or showing up to class naked and being told "You SO do not belong here." :eek: I am, however, not sleeping well for the anxiety of getting all this done before the August 2nd deadline. Maybe once tomorrow is over and I can see that the new devil in my life, Certified Background, has accepted ALL my documentation, I shall take a much needed afternoon nap. My T minus countdowns used to be for the Twilight movies, but since I don't have those to look forward to anymore (Yeah, so what? I love Twilight! :inlove:) I will be counting down to August 26 and the beginning of what is bound to be an AWESOME JOURNEY!

Congratulations to you! Take deep breaths and be proud you have made it this far, and then the fun begins. Make no mistake though, it takes a huge amount of dedication and giving up any spare time you may think you will have. The amount of studying and stepping up to pass will leave you with what our instructors lovingly called " deer caught in the headlight look, aka, what did I get myself into?!" The first 3 weeks kicked it into high gear for many of us and the first of many late nights and little sleep- well, when I did sleep I dreamed about the weirdest things. It was the hardest time academically in my life but graduation, pinning, and passing nclex RN was most gratifying. Go for it!!!!
