I received my practicum assignment today!  I only received the name of the educator for the floor so I have to wait for my actual preceptors name  but I know that I will be on a Cardiovascular surgery floor. (Step down, Maybe?)  I am pleased that I got my first choice though.

I am feeling really positive about this exam I just took today.   I can’t wait to see what my grade is and will post an update when I receive it. This exam was on HIV, Cancer, End of Life,  and personality disorders.  (personality disorders are so fascinating.)

I just finished ordering my nursing portrait.  I actually chose the digital CD single pose (because only one out of pic was remotely good.) So I will be able to have my own graduation announcements made up and printed and I can print as many as I want without limit. I plan to have shutterfly pint my graduation announcements.

I’m trying to order my nursing pin but I am confused as to whether it will be delivered to the school or to my home.  It makes a difference because it’s $10 more to have it delivered to my home.    I was going to go with a double gold plated pin but I opted for a single gold plated pin (which means gold is only plated on the front of the pin and costs $40 less!) with a “RN” pin guard.  I probably will never wear the thing after I start working but I thought I deserved at least a gold plated pin and a guard because I worked hard to get thought this program.

WE have time, date and location of our pinning ceremony.

I must run off and study!

———- UPDATE! ——————–

Grade on this exam  85.33.  Not as good as I had hoped but still decent.
