Newbie Nurse to Be :)
So it was unofficial (official results to hit soon 
) as of yesterday afternoon (July 24) @ 3pm that I have passed the NCLEX and will be getting my nursing license … Scary thought, scary thought, lol. A huge weight of stress has been takin off of my shoulders and relief has set through. I literally started crying as I held a picture of my mother at my chest and punched in the info for my debit card so I could get the quick results to look for the word pass or fail. PASS, PASS, PASS is what’s up, lol. Yeah, I know I’m really emotional about this but it has been a long journey for me trying to get this done. Commuting over an hour away and holding 2 part-time jobs while working nights absolutely sucks. I am currently broke as can be (of course found money to buy comp suits, lol) but it will be worth it in the end. So on to more good news. I start my position as a new grad on Monday, the 28th of July. I will be on days for about 7-8wks and can totally change things around with having a regular schedule, sleep cycle, and being able to hit the gym after work without feeling like I’m gonna fall asleep on the way home 
… I am as nervous as can be but really excited … I won’t actually step on the floor until next Friday, so I have time to look over anything I might have forgotten, but nothing to stress about in that department. Met my day preceptor and have heard really good things about her and that she likes to teach. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. On to killing the workouts and diet without having my mind on things in the backburner …

Congratulations!!!!! I’m a nurse also and I know what you have been going thru. I remember the day I found out online that I had passed- I thought I was going to pass out. Good Luck!!!!
