It's official......

I am a RN!!!!!!!!! I passed my boards. I get to wear the red badge!!!!! Yeah!!!! I took the test this past Thursday morning. I didn't really tell too many people. It would have stressed me out more. The past 48 hours have been very tough!!!! My stomache has been in knots. I have had headaches. I have not stopped thinking about the test. My mind has been consumed with the test. I worked last night, all night long. It was the longest 12 hours of my life. I was working with Ashley and she was in the same boat. We were making each other crazy! I would have rather been at home sleeping and not obsessing over the results. So when I got home and layed down for a little bit so the minutes would move faster. I could not check the results until 8 am and no minute earlier. So I get online to check and my password would not work. I was freaking out. So I went to our computer out in the kitchen and I was going crazy. Brian got me to calm down. We got to the site and had to request another password. It said I should have a new one within the hour. WHAT?????? Don't they know I am going crazy here. I was going to explode! Luckily there was a new one within minutes in my email inbox. So I got the new password and I plugged it in. Then I got to where it said your results are available. I wanted to vomit (sorry, graphic, I know). I had to put in the credit card number and then hit next. There it was.... a box with information on it. I just stared at the computer, trying to find the pass/fail words. Then I found the glorious news. It said, "pass!!!" I just stared at the computer with a blank face (I made Brian step away and he was just staring at me). The last 3 1/2 years just flew by in my mind. The moment I had been waiting for had just happened. I am a Registered Nurse!!!!! I couldn't believe it. Brian and I started to cry and hug. One chapter has closed and another is about to begin. Then, I printed the results off. I had to keep looking to make sure it was real. I went over to my mom's house to surprise her. She had no idea that I could find out this am. I thought I wouldn't find out until Monday. I went over there to drop something off and ask for a receipt for Brian. She was completely in the dark. Then I pushed the paper to her and told her to look at this. It took a second and then she screamed! I am so excited. This ended up being a way longer post than I had anticipated but right now I don't care. I am elated!!!!! Enjoy your Saturday. I know I will.
