I didn't get a chance to post after my second exam but I passed that! Many others did not. I 'just' passed but as I've been told many MANY times, C's get degrees! Once I finish school and pass my boards no one is going to ask what I got on my exams! So I have to remember that!
So that brings me to today! I just passed my third exam of the semester! This time with a B. I've not gotten a B in so long that I forgot what that looked like! Things are getting real. I had to put in my application for graduation! I'll be 'graduating' in December but my college doesn't have a ceremony until May. I was asked 'Are you going to walk?' and I said ABSOLUTELY! I've worked very hard to get through this, I feel I deserve to walk. This past week I had to get fingerprinted for my background check as part of the state nursing board and licensing.
Our school does have a Pinning Ceremony in December a week after we take our final exam. As I pass each of these exams I can feel it getting closer! I'm exciting about all that we are learning this semester, it is all 'clicking' more as we are seeing it in practice. My position that I have at the hospital has enabled me to see things that I don't get a chance to see in clinical (due to not having a specific patient with exactly the same thing); I am very grateful that I've have this opportunity to learn while I'm working.
The main focus right now is trying to pick up extra shifts to bring in additional money since my unemployment has run out. I'm working midnight tonight and tomorrow since they are the only hours I can fit in some weeks. Off to watch another lecture as I prepare for yet another exam!
This is such great news! You're getting so close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pinning ceremony sounds fantastic! And you'd better walk!!!!!! You are working so very, very hard for this and I want to see tons of photos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You go, girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
