So today I took my state boards again with hopes that this time I will pass it and finally be able to call myself a registered nurse...of course, I'm going to have to wait at least until Tuesday to find out if I passed or not. So this week was full of last minute studying of facts, normal lab values, pharmacology (medical drugs for those lay people out there) and a bunch of tips about how to go about reading and then deducing what the question is asking and which of the possible answers are the MOST correct (yes, this means that there were questions where more than one, and sometimes all, possible options listed were correct and not just one right answer). On top of the studying I also had a job interview for a nursing home 40 minutes away this past Tuesday. They offered me a job as a nurse on the graveyard shift...although nothing is finalized until it is known whether or not I passed the boards. And then I actually did something not of the norm for my usual hermit existence: I went out for coffee with a friend....GASP!
So now I'm unwinding from the long day of getting up at 5 am to leave the house at 6 to drive 1.5 hours to sit for an exam which took another 1.5 hours and then to turn around and drive another 1.5 hours home. Tomorrow I have my shift at the nursery where I go to play with kids ages 0-5 years for two hours. And then I think I'll eat chocolate and read romance novels. Cest la vie.
