It has been a while since I wrote on this blog. But life had some major changes waiting for me. Finally, after all those years of heavy studying I finished my nursing degree on December 12th, 2007. As I was going right into my NCLEX studying I didn’t have any time to relax or do anything that I could enjoy – instead I answered practice question after practice question.
Yesterday was finally the day I was wishing for – but also dreaded as much as eating liver for breakfast. The day of the NCLEX was there. Finally, I took my NCELX exam . But unfortunately, I am still waiting for the result. I wish I will see “PASS” on the Pearsonvue website in the very near future. As I am not sure how much longer I can wait for this.
Hopefully, tomorrow I will find out that I have passed my exam so that I will be finally in the position of actually helping people in need. I had changed my career after being diagnosed with MS. So I think after all those years it is time for me to provide care for people who need it more than anybody else. I know how I felt when I was first diagnosed. I was desperate and scared. But I received good care and felt that people were there for me in the worst time of my short life. And now I want to be there for other people who need to be treated like Mrs. Smith and Mr. Miller and not like room 345 and room 375. All patients are individuals in the first place. Everybody is unique and has the right to be treated like a unique person. I have the life experience from being in the hospital bed myself. I have been there, I have done that. And I want to make sure that my patients will be treated with respect and that they feel that they are not just numbers on my busy schedule.
UPDATE: I just found out that I have passed the NCLEX-RN exam.
