Nursing School Chronicles ~ 2 hours left!!!

*says a small prayer that the original article doesn't disappear leaving us left with La B's crappy replacement article*

 OK so......

I took the 'mock NCLEX' last night aka the RN CAT ERI.  I have no idea what CAT means.  HOWEVER it is set up like the NCLEX.  You get 90 - 200 some questions.  It shuts off when you either answered well enough to pass or you jacked it up so badly you will never pass.  I GOT 90 questions!  I GOT 90 questions.  Adore me.  Love me.  Give my clearly big Nursing brain a big stroking. 

In reality it means nothing.....but I am swimming in the utter coolness of it all.

So at this moment my grade is at a 90.

What does this mean????

Well....it means that I will have to jack up the next ERI and Final exam reallllllly badly to fail.  It means that the big boulder that I have fully expected to roll over me before pinning better get a move on.

Even more importantly it means.....

1 last day I have to wear the navyish blue scrubs.

1 last day I wear the white uniform with the patch.

1 more stooopid ERI to take.

1 last Final Exam to take

0 things left to turn in.

AND 1 more day (that actually will equal approximately 2 hours......) to go!!!!!!!!

And guess what.

I have big news.  Well it is big news to me.  I am gonna have people.

List of folks coming to my pinning:

My DAD!  (woooooooot)  my mom is tentative....but that is ok.

My best friend Pam (from MD) and her Mom (Lil).....This is kind of cool.  My parents and her parents were there for our high school graduation in 1987  *koff sputter* from baySIDEEEE High School....yeah.  And my boyfriend's at the time....his name was Zach.  hee.  Any hoo.  I am extremely happy that they will be there because I don't know if we will have our Mom (she belongs to me and my best friend.....I have claimed her for my own)  She has lung cancer and I don't know how much longer....ack....I am going to cry so I won't finish that statement.  BUT point is......She is mine and my best friend are mine for that day. 

My Soul Sister, Sabrina..... We have been through so much.  We had this job at a help desk.  We would cry every day walking in knowing that we would be cursed and yelled and and the like.  But every morning we would stop at the door.  Pray.  And fix our makeup.  Because Divas don't cry.  Not on the job.  We both had these big shiny foreheads.  I still do.  you can reflect light off it.  We had these franchises we worked with and each had a 3 letter designation.  Ours was BFD.  Big Foreheaded Divas.  yep.  BFDs for life!

My Co Workers.... Well I am thinking that the showing will be 100% female.  But I am not counting the guys out.......yet.  They say they are coming but I have a feeling that we will just be doing celebratory lunching or bowling later.  But being the minority geek girlz......I know they will support me tomorrow.  Thank you Fantine and Carmel!!!!

My old class....  Yep, Shorty Doo Wop of Gather....plus all my girlz from the December class....well most of them anyway.  I soooo cannot wait to see them.

So that is super exciting.

There are so many that I wanted to be there who can't make it.  Like my P10 girls, my sister Bonnie C. (from Gather), the babysitter, her daughter, Steve the Legend from Gather....there are some tests that i would have plain failed if he didn't remind me that I could......, Brad, too, who would make me laugh and who was subjected to Amber Panty Thrower and who spoke with my dear friend La Toya.....you too are like a little mascot.....hee., I wish all of y'all could be here.  I wish I could have flit, Joy, Wurdz, Charles, Lainie, Charles, Ron & Buddy, Jody & Michelle (my ruralsexual posse), David Rochester, Rob Appell could wobble in and he could bring Scott, Mom Sharon, Ceena, CC, Mikeeeeee who allows me to freak call him with stoopid ideas to finance my education like the Star Trek/Tech Geek Phone Sex Hotline or the selling of Brad's body parts on Ebay, I would SOOOO love for Ina, Wilma, Renda, Donna F. and all the nurses with nursey advice for me....because they believed in me too.....can you believe.....I finally do!!!, there are sooooo many I would want there and i am afraid I will leave out......OH FAITH!!! For without whom I might not have virtual holidays with.....because when you go to nursing school there is no such thing as a social life.....thank you for the New Year's Party, the Ice Cream Party, the Virtual Thanksgiving that helped me feel less lonely.  I am going to completely and totally miss my sister Doll, My Mama, Paplet, and most of all my kids who have suffered there right along with me.  (One is in Colorado, the other in Richmond).

But you know.  It is more important than the day....I have had y'all with me all along.  I keep hearing 'We are the Champions' in my head.....followed by "You're my Best Friend' .....I am on a Queen trip.

oh snif.......I am getting all sentimental....and that cannot be because Divas don't cry.  We just tear.....lots. 

Thank you everyone so much.  thank you so much.
