The past 4 days went by soooo fast. It also didn't help that I came on a week when Eddie was busy with BOLC stuff. I pretty much saw him in the morning when he got up for PT (at like 0500 lol), went back to sleep, then got up around 0700 when he came back. He would hang around until around 0740 and then went off to his classes. I saw him for lunch, and then I had my evening time with him. Between then I would just kind of hang around lol...I made several trips to the PX and commissary and then ventured off-post to the huge super Walmart (there is *SO* much to do in Fort Leonard Wood!) and just patiently wait for him to come back home. Yesterday was our only "whole day" together but regardless I'm just so happy I got to see him and spend time with him. I can't wait to go back there again and this time I'll stay longer. Thank goodness February is a short month :)
I'm also starting my NCLEX review class tomorrow. Is it sad to admit that I'm actually kind of excited for this? haha. I have been trying to motivate myself to study on my own and although I've been doing a good job, I don't think I'm doing as well as I should. I'm hoping this review class will help motivate me more and put me on the right track as far as studying goes. There's soooooo much information that we're required to know and it can be really overwhelming. This will also make me one step closer to becoming an RN, which I should hopefully have my March :D I'm still waiting on my ATT, though.
On the flipside, once I get my RN, I'm pretty sure my job won't let me work as a tech anymore, which sucks because I'll be unemployed and who knows how long it will take for me to find an RN job! I still have wedding shiz I need to pay for too, plus rent and other bills. I'm hoping they'll let me slide since I'm getting licensed in Texas and not Ohio, but we'll see. Maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut about it!
Yay for spending time together! When I was in nursing school I'd drive the 8-9 hours to see him on long weekends lol. I wish I could drive to Hawaii -_-.
ReplyDeleteYou will know everything you need to know for the NCLEX, trust me. You will probably walk out convinced you failed (I think EVERYONE I know did that). I got 75 questions and thought for sure I failed, and I made straight A's in nursing school haha. And then you will check for results obsessively 2 seconds after you walk out, even though they say it takes a couple days. And then you will find out you passed and probably cry with excitement.
This is seriously what happened to every person I know hahah.
I did the same thing as Beckie. I walked out crying even though all of my questions had the answer "Wash hands." 75 questions. Boom. Done. RN!
ReplyDeletehaha yeah that happened to everyone I know, too! I'm sure I'll be the same way!
ReplyDeleteLol and Julie I'm hoping all of my questions will be like that!
