How to study for the four weeks before I take the NCLEX. Now back to this job application that doesn’t let me save my progress.

Oh, people…
A classmate of mine today got a ride to dinner with some friends of mine. We sat in the backseat of the friend’s car, and when we were asked to buckle our seatbelts, my classmate refused. She said it was only illegal in Massachusetts to not buckle up while in the front seats. My friend disagreed and said that she could be fined and have a ding on her permanent driving record if anyone in the car wasn’t wearing a seatbelt in the car.
Still my classmate refused to buckle her seatbelt and even stated that, were we to get into an accident, she would “rather die than wear a seatbelt.” My response, of course, was to start telling all the people in the car about the nasty car accidents I’ve witnessed, both while precepting in the emergency room and as an EMT on an ambulance. Many of the grossest accidents involved unbuckled occupants in the vehicle. Eventually she caved and tried to put on her seatbelt (it was actually jammed so she didn’t wear it after all).
Buckle the fuck up, assholes.
So…
I graduated cum laude from college (it even says it on my Bachelor of Science degree, though it doesn’t say nursing on it). When a friend saw my Latin honor cords, she asked, “How does it feel to graduate come loud?”
My reply? ”I always come loudly!” Um… Yeah.

Pinning pin! Now with cool editing! (Taken with instagram)
My pin from the Pinning Ceremony on Thursday! Traditional undergraduates were required to wear white, and I was lucky enough to find a beautiful white dress that no one else wore! I guess it’s pretty tricky to find 50 unique white dresses. The ceremony was a nice way to say goodbye to four years of nursing school. Now we get to call our professors by their first names!
Pinning is actually a pretty old tradition, and the ceremony has been held at my college since 1902. I should definitely research it more, but right now I need to get ready to clean out my old suite and turn in my key by noon. They had the nursing students staying on campus for the NCLEX review move into the freshman dorms. … Yeah.
Everything has been checked off my list! That means I’m DONE WITH COLLEGE! And as soon as I graduate (and pass the NCLEX, keep your fingers crossed), I will no longer be a nursing student but a new nurse!! Then I need a job. Scary.
Today I took my last exam (in nutrition, tougher than I expected). Also, there are only 2 weeks left until Pinning! Sunday I go home to search for a dress for said Pinning ceremony (it has to be white and have straps wide enough to place a pin without stabbing me), a suit for interviewing, and a dress for the Commencement Ball. I am going to be SO BROKE when I graduate. But that’s why I’m tutoring this weekend - 6 hours on Friday and 3 hours on Saturday.
Last minute cramming!
Post to Tumblr/Twitter instead of studying for my last exam ever at this particular college? I think yes! I’m all out of nurse-y/student-y pictures though.
