I AM A NURSE!!!

   OH MY GOODNESS!
   I finally became a registered nurse! This is for real. RN, BSN. Seriously, for this look like simple title, I worked so hard for this, just like every single nurse.
   Clearly remembering how I exactly felt 8am yesterday--shaky, nervous, and blank mind. I was so scared to find out how I did because I didn't want to see "fail" again on the result like the last time. Whatever happened happened. With my shaky hands clicking the computer, I saw "pass" on my result. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!?!?!? I had to look so many times to make sure that's a "pass" instead of "fail." It sounds like I was totally went crazy. I screamed so hard that I was afraid the neighbor was gonna come to knock on the door. BUT I PASSED?! Seriously, after the exam, I sat at the test center parking lot for an hour to calm down.
   So for RN board--NCLEX, it's an adaptive exam. It's minimum question is 75 and maximum is 265. Time length is 6 hours. For my first time back in February, I had 265 questions and I was there for 6 hours. Boy oh boy, that wasn't the greatest feeling in the world. I couldn't focus any more when I figured out that I couldn't have enough time to finish the whole exam. Basically, I had approximately 30 seconds for the last 60 questions. I just randomly picked whatever because I couldn't even have enough time to read the questions. Man, that was so wrong. Of course I felt horrible after sitting there for 6 hours clicking whatever answers. So then I spent another month of studying after I failed the first time.
   Lots of my classmates passed the first time and already had worked for a month as nurses. Thinking about it, it's a little bit bitter. But I comforted myself by saying that if I passed the first time, I would be too genius. It becomes extra tough when English becomes as my second language and medical terms as third language. Simple common terms like "nausea" or "diarrhea", I didn't know what they mean in English 2 years ago. It's embarrassing to ask simple questions like these. And of course, this will never ends. I am about to start new chapter of my life. I am sure it will be difficult and rough to work as a nurse in the medical field with language barrier. HOWEVER, it's not impossible. Didn't I just pass the ridiculous nursing board? :) Work hard and work harder. Things are possible.
  Anyway, I am SOOOOO thankful that I finally passed. No more occupying Starbucks or other coffee shops for hours and hours with only a cup of coffee. :P
  So now I need to jump into the job market to find myself a job. Other than that, I am gonna read the entire Harry Potter again. Feeling beyond happy that I can read something else now! woot woot!
