yes... this is my AWESOME graduation photo...
I'm finally done. ALL the way done. I finished nursing school. Seems like it took forever while i was going, but now that its over.. i keep wondering where the last 2 years went. I got done with school on a tuesday. worked the weekend, then went to vegas on the next monday. our school secretary took our transcripts up to DOPL and when they process those we get an 'Authorization To Test' a.k.a.- take my NCLEX. so i check my email every five minutes from monday on.... and as i'm driving home from vegas on thursday a super sweet and awesome highway patrolman pulls me over and gives me a speeding ticket. he was nice enough to take his sweet time too... 45 minutes. so while i'm waiting for my ticket i finally get my authorization to test email and can schedule my NCLEX. well, i had to wait until the 29th of August to take it in Utah, OR i could take it the next morning... in las vegas. So i turned around and headed back to vegas. studied up a bit, drove to the strip the next morning and took my test and headed home. i even made it with no speeding tickets this time. Sunday my results finally posted and i passed... that was a relief. So i'm officially an RN- yay me. and just a shade over a decade too... not too shabby.. the next monday was my cohorts pinning ceremony. i guess its a tradition thats been around forever- back when nurses wore white dresses and hats they would pin their hats when they were nurses, so it was cool to have one with all my classmates and teachers. my momma was my hot date to my pinning ceremony and it was fun to finally introduce her to all the people i've spent almost every day with for the last two years. i'm super proud of all of them, and even myself a little bit too. but now i'm done, i'm waiting for a job, and i was bored out of my mind.... until i decided i'm taking a break. so i don't get ready, wear a bra, or put make-up on right now. i just lounge around and watch American Pickers with Bella... oh, and apparently i'm trying to sew... but we'll see how that goes...
