Natalie Palmer, R.N.

I AM OFFICIALLY A REGISTERED NURSE!!!!!!!!!!!

There are so many words that describe my feelings right now....relieved, excited, happy, exhausted, thankful.....

I took the test on Wednesday afternoon. After leaving the test, I didn't know how to feel about it. It was long, hard and exhausting. I knew that if I failed I could take it again, but I wanted so badly not to have to take it again.
I wouldn't find out the results until the next morning, so Shaun tried to get my mind off of it by taking me out to dinner at La Grande Orange Pizzeria. yum! It definitely helped to get me distracted for a little bit.

That night was horrible, I hardly slept and when I did my mind was still racing. Finally morning came and I could hardly wait! I just wanted to know if I needed to keep studying or if I could be done........ 11:30 did not come fast enough.......between Shaun and I, we checked the website 500 times that morning.
My Mom and sister were over at the time that I found out. It was great to get to celebrate with them and Shaun!!!

I officially have a license number!!! I never knew that a few letters behind my name would mean so much to me. I have put so much time into school and it has finally payed off. I am so thankful.
