So, this happened.

On June 29th, I took my NCLEX (RN licensing exam).

On June 30th, at 3:26 p.m. I got an e-mail that I passed NCLEX and I am officially a licensed Registered Nurse!

It is so crazy and feels like yesterday that I was walking into Fundamentals for the first time with three massive textbooks in my backpack and terrified of getting even one question wrong on a test. (Trust me, that has changed.)

NCLEX was the hardest test I've ever taken and I have never felt more stupid than after it finished. I had somewhere between 161 and 180 questions (I stopped looking after 161). 

I am so proud of myself and how far I've come in the past three years.

Now the next step: getting an RN job!
