Graduating Today

Burks · **Posted:** June 10th, 2011, 8:35 am

It's finally here, I'm graduating from high school today!

Wait.....no.......that was 7 years ago today. I'm actually graduating from nursing school today. So if you don't see me for the next few days, you'll know why. Going to enjoy my tons of free time and relaxing environment for a few months, and then back at it for online classes (yay?).

Congrats to all the other graduates out there. I know there has to be a couple out there.

Congratulations to you!

My girlfriend just recently got done with nursing school. She's studying for the NCLEX now.

That was a really bad idea. I saw things that cannot be unseen.

It opened up and shut up within a week. My boss had a job offer lined up for me as soon as I graduated. My "interview" consisted of them telling me how my next 6 months will be in training and stuff. First three months working on the step down with another nurse, then the next three months training over in the ICU with another nurse as well. Then I'm on my own.

All this starts the week I pass my NCLEX.

So yeah, I'm right on track. I start back for online classes to get my BSN in September (6 months).

Glad to see you graduated and had a job lined up! Would have stunk to spend all that time and get out of school unable to find a job.

FINALLY got my authorization to test this week. Have to drive ~80 miles to a testing site. Earliest test was this Saturday, after that the earliest one (within a 250 mile radius) is August 8th.

That would mean, assuming I pass Saturday, I'll be making nearly 2.5x what I make now. Freaking.....awesome.

Nothing like a test with a SIX HOUR time limit on it. $10 I get all 300 questions.
