SHRIEK!

I shrieked today at work.

loudly.

I just couldn't help it.

I was in the fishbowl (area of station surrounded by glass, usually utilized for the MDs) when I happened to log onto a certain website that said: "Registered Nurse: Active"

I shrieked so loudly that another nurse outside the fishbowl jumped out of her seat.

Holy crap, I passed. I'm not sure how, and I'm hoping that it's not all an awful mistake (I've checked 3 times since learning that I'm now a licensed RN). For 27 hours after finishing the test, all I wanted to do was Thelma & Louise it off a cliff. Coffee, chocolate, and alcohol didn't help.

So anyways, It's official! There's still a lot to learn and I still feel incredibly incompetent at work (will that ever go away?). Thank you for the well wishes....maybe now I will start blogging more often :) No more questions to practice, no more chapters to review. What to do with myself now that I won't have to come home and answer 150 NCLEX style questions each night? I'm going to catch up on some reading and get ready for this and this.

hoping

my exam shut off at 75 questions today. I feel sick. I feel like puking. I feel like jumping off a cliff. Two of my classmates were at the exam, and we actually had some very similar questions.

We all answered them differently.

I've answered well over 2000 questions in preparation for this exam, yet I don't think any of those 2000+ questions helped me with the 75 questions I answered today.

I can't stand this wait and see period...
