OMIGOD.......I am excited and nervous!!!!
Huzzah! Especially to Mike E. .....not the British Navy.....We are in the Sea Monkey Navy.....though I likes the British Boys so bring me a sample and we will be alright. hee
I have no idea where HUZZAH originated. We have a radio station here (FM99) and they were doing a parody of the John Adams series.....they said HUZZAH alot....and I quite like it.
I adopted it for the Royal Sea Monkey Navy. Turkey Legs for everybody! Tofurkey Legs for the Vegans!!!
I remember the month before the test, studying harder than I ever studied before. Every waking minute was spent with my nose in the books. I was certain I was going to fail. When the computer shut down after I'd answered the minimum number of questions allowed to be asked when determining ability to pass, I cried and grabbed the screen, begging "Please give me another chance! I know I can do better!" I was sure it shut down because I'd answered so many wrong, not right. Passing wasn't something I considered to be an option.
Needless to say...
I do feel rather vomitous. I feel worst about lab values and cardiac drugs. They freak me out. Oh and positioning. Well actually I am feeling better about positioning. I am realizing that if I can focus in on the reasons for the position then I can figure out the rest. Well that and freaking fetal positioning. I mean believe me you I can talk myself out of a perfectly good answer. I got the occipital part though.....
ack....I doth think I freath too much.
Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
La B, I love you. I get excited with each of these; it's almost like my math and chem skills don't suck and I'm smert enough to actually be a nurse vicariously... and trust me, my math & chem skills are so bad, even "vicariously" makes for a dangerous situation...
crap I have to order an updated copy of the Saunder NCLEX review. GATHER DON'T DO THIS TO ME NOW!!!! aiiiiiie ----*vomit*
Ok chillrens....gather round. If your points are missing.....sign out and sign back in.
OK new prayer. That the Gather Powers that be....get that card to me ASAP.
WHEW.
Jodie.....above you is Jen. Jen below you is Jodie.
Jen is a student nurse and she needs our support, Jodie. We gotta help a sister out. So we can be stomping for her later.
Hmph....I am gonna start a new group.
I lucked out because my Canadian CNat results were accepted when I first registered here in the US.
However for Immigration purposes I had to take what they call the CGFNS certification which includes a full day of testing similar to the NCLEX... except no computers and it took months to get the results... yuck!
I took those exams over 15 years after graduating RN school and passing my CNATs... not. fun. at. all!
