Long time, no write!

Well, it is now September 9th (Happy Birthday, David!!!). I'm starting to gear up for going back to school on the 22nd of this month. Darn, the things I could do if I only had 2 additional weeks.....

The GREAT news is that, as of the beginning of the quarter, I have less than 6 months left until graduation from nursing school! And, only 22 weeks of "actual school" left! I can't believe that this time is already so close. It's like I can taste it, smell it, FEEL it.
With that comes a little bit of fright. "How will I pass the NCLEX," "Will I get a job right away?" "Will I get a job in an area of nursing that is really interesting to me???" THAT is my biggest question.

To prepare me for the nursing board exam, I will be taking a really intense NCLEX review class - TWICE. I'm taking it after this coming quarter, and also right after my last quarter. Hopefully that will help to give me some more confidence. I'm sure it will. I probably don't even need as much confidence as I seem to THINK I need. haha!

David and I have been talking about where we'll go for my "graduation trip." I'm thinking Jamaica, or St. Lucia (or another island in that area). We've also talked about Mexico or Hawaii. It's hard to decide! But I want: tropics, all the fruify drinks I can handle, a swim up bar, snorkeling, and other things having to do with water warm enough I can swim in.

All I know is that I am looking forward to the last 2 quarters of nursing school, and what life post-nursing school will bring my way!
