I PASSED!! I took nursing boards a week and a half ago and am now officially a Registered Nurse with a license to practice! In addition, I've officially accepted the job at Orlando Health and have completed my first week of orientation. I'll be starting on the Neurology floor for the first 5 weeks and will then have the opportunity to try a second unit before settling somewhere. So now that I have officially graduated from nursing school, passed the NCLEX and accepted a position I can cross off #1 on my To Do list:
1. Start a new career.
Not only was I able to cross off my number one goal for the year, but I was also able to take care of my #3 goal: Donate blood. When I was downtown on Monday the hospital was having a blood drive and I was able to make my first donation. So besides giving the gift of life, I also received this nifty t-shirt in the spirit of the month.
Now off to complete week two of orientation and I will officially be on the floor next week!
