NCLEX is getting Closer for Me…YIKES and How work is going!

Hey Everyone,

I hope ya’ll are having a super Sunday. I’ve been busy studying for my NCLEX which I take on June 11th at 8:00 am…..very nervous. However, I am super positive about it because many of my former classmates have already taken it (they took it June 3rd) and passed it. So it gives me confidence that I will pass. However, there is always that what if….have I studied enough, will I know the answers, am I taking it too soon.

Gosh I just want it to be over with really! I’m ready to put studying and nursing school stuff behind me and start concentrating on my career and polishing my nursing skills which I am getting  the hang of a little bit. I suppose I will find out about 2-3 days after I take the NCLEX if I passed. Does anyone know how you pay to get your results early for the NCLEX?

I heard you can pay like $7-8 to know early but where do I do this at? Any clues….anyone?! Sheew this time next week I will know if I passed. I wish I could fast forward and be done already. Good luck to everyone else who will be taking it also! Much Prayers!!

Work has been going good. Last week I worked from 7-3pm Tuesday-Friday. Remember how I told ya I had a dysrhythmia class on Monday from 8-1pm….well I drove 45 minutes to the place to get told it would have to be rescheduled because they were having technical difficulties…it was a teleconferenced class where the instructor is on tv….not sure how I would have liked that anyways. So my dysrhythmia class is rescheduled for June 16 and it is closer to home and not teleconferenced…thank heavens.

I have to take this class in order to become ACLS certified which is required on the unit I work which is a ICU step-down. Tomorrow I work 11-7pm and I’m off Tuesday, Wednesday (to study for NCLEX) and Thursday (to take NCLEX). Then Friday I work again 11-7pm. Right now at work I have been taking one patient on my own and getting down all of the charting and the whole routine of nursing. Next week I’m going to start taking 2 patients. I think I will be better at everything and learn how to get my routine down once I can start incorporating medication administration because right now I can not give medication because I’m not licensed which when I pass NCLEX I will be…..so I can’t wait to pass that.

I’m loving work and my pay checks! For the rest of the night I going to chill and watch on movie on Netflix…not sure what movie yet though. However, here in a second I’m going to take a shower. I hope everyone has a great night!

Until next time,

Sarah ;-)

Where Have I Been lol?…Working & GRADUATING THIS SATURDAY OH MY GOSH FINALLY!!

Hey Everyone,

So you may be thinking “Where in the world is Sarah?” lol. Well I’ve got to say that I’m have been crazy busy and I thought that once graduation got here I would have more time to rest….I was wrong lol. So what all has been going on in my life and with me you may wonder since I last blogged.

I’m OFFICIALLY done with nursing school. Last Wednesday was my last day. It really hasn’t hit me yet that I no longer have to study for a test again (except NCLEX) or do some pointless project or have to go to clinicals (being free labor lol). It is over and I have to say I’m the happiest person in the world right now. I can’t believe I got through it and congrats to all you out there who are also graduating.

I have been working 40 hours per week. I started that at the middle of April and have been going full force. I got to say I like my pay checks. I have been saving them though hehe. Hopefully Ben and I will have a house by the end of the summer. After I graduate on Saturday I get like a three dollar raise because I will be what is called a “graduate nurse” woohoo. Next week I start orientation as an RN at my job which I’m really excited about. I will be working M-F 7-3 for about 5 weeks and then M-F 11-7 for another 5 weeks. I will be in orientation for a while. The only thing I can’t do as a graduate nurse is give medications or mess with any type of lines (IV or central line).

I graduate this Saturday and have a pinning ceremony on Friday. I’m so excited :-) Last Saturday my mom, mamaw, and I went shopping for my party. Like I said it is Luau themed and I found some great stuff at the Dollar Tree. Everything in the store is a dollar and I LOVE that place. I got everything from a grass skirt to blow up palms trees lol. Lets just say it is going to be very Luau themed. I will have to post pictures of graduation and my party next week so be looking for those.

I’ve got several “ask me a questions” and I will be getting to some of them today. Thanks for all the questions…sorry about the delay in getting to them. But I promise I will so don’t worry.

Here is the outlook for the week: Wednes: Work 7a-7p, Thursday: clean and get ready for this weekend…possibly go to my moms and set up my stuff for the party (we have a gazebo tent that Ben has to put up), Friday: Pinning Ceremony woohoo can’t wait, Saturday: Graduation and my party: OMG I’m so EXCITED.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week and I will be posting soon!

Until next time,
Sarah ;-)
