Okay, yesterday i scheduled my NCLEX-PN exam. (For those of you who don't know, its the nursing licensing exam.) I've been studying some questions on my NCLEX review stuff and suddenly i'm REALLY nervous. I shouldn't be. I did excellent on the exit exam from nursing school and i got the highest GPA in my class. Regardless, i'm still nervous. I hate this feeling. Worse is that i won't know the outcome for at least three days after i take it. No finding out immediately if i passed. Nope... just three days of sleeplessness and such while i hope i passed.
Today i got my GVN permit which states i am a graduated nurse and can go to work under the supervision of another nurse. I already had a job lined up so i start that on Monday. I'm not nervous about that. I'm just nervous about this one stupid test. I've spent the last year preparing for this test and now its here. Its seriously nerve racking.
Sorry to ramble on, but i'm not sure what else to say. Haha!! Maybe i was stupid for starting classes up immediately the semester after i graduated. Maybe i should have just concentrated on my boards. But i also knew if i put my classes off, i'd probably never go back. My momentum is up... now is the time to keep going.
Okay, just had to get a little off my chest. Thanks for reading!

That's an awful feeling...good luck. I'm sure you'll do fine.
@ordinarybutloud - Thanks! I don't want to misrepresent. I'm also VERY excited about the test. It means i will FINALLY have my license!
Wishing you the best on your results.
If I may, it's usually the anticipation most people find nerve wrecking. Like you said you've spent the last year preparing for the test. You'll do fine. :D
@Lakakalo - Thank you! I think i probably will too, and you're right... its the anticipation that's nerve racking. I'm just trying to study a reasonable amount and not focus on it.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
I'd be nervous too praying all goes well!
