I have a test date

It's officially scheduled.

I'm taking my NCLEX-RN on Monday, October 20, 2008 at 0800.

Wish me luck!

And now I can't believe it's already mid-September

I can't believe I had a whole month off from school. At first, things went a little bit like this:

Day One: House cleaned, dishes done, called labor and delivery nurse recruiters at two local hospitals, baked a batch of cookies, and redid the dishes -- all by twelve noon. And then I got bored.

Several friends advised that I should, in fact, appreciate the boredom. Fast forward a couple of weeks, and I finally started to. I also stopped being so disciplined about doing the dishes and keeping the house cleaned. Some things never change!

I went to a Tacoma Rainier's game, started running regularly again, got lots of wedding planning done, went to at least one concert -- and, I think I even finished reading a non-nursing related book. I also applied for several jobs (only to be told that it was too early for me to apply because of the bizarre-o program I'm in), and started thinking about studying for the NCLEX.

Now that school has started, though, it's time for me to actually start studying!

I'm like the little engine that could -- nursing school style.
