life plans

Life hasn't gone exactly as we had planned. I did graduate and I do have a Bachelors Degree in Nursing. However... I did not pass my NCLEX on the first try. Long story short... God has different plans for me. NO I'm not giving up and yes I will retest again but for now all I can do is study and keep my head up. It has been a pretty difficult few weeks for us as I am VERY hard on myself.. to the point I was physically sick. However I do know that if anyone can handle the hard things in life that it would be me! I will retest again in July and I'm praying that I pass this time around. It wasn't that the test was hard, just tricky. With all of that said I was scheduled to start hospital orientation for my RN position and unfortunately I've had to say goodbye to that. My boss has agreed to hold my position in the Nursery as I've worked there for many years and everyone knows this test does not reflect my true potential. It's just a silly test for a license number. I know patient's lives are in my hands and this test "predicted" that I was not minimally competent but I had some really bogus questions. With all of that being said- I have to remember that this is just a minor hurdle in this game called life.

And on an even lighter note- Dominican Republic HERE WE COME! We will be leaving to go to the islands in 2 weeks and I could not be more happy! This is just the break I need to lift my spirits!

I have really enjoyed having some down time as I will no longer be going to school :) I have been working 3 days a week as a tech, STILL!! (so ready for those days to be over!) And despite how hard it is to walk through those doors and still be the tech and not the RN. I am clinging to this verse.

Jeremiah 29: 11- For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Things will get better for He has a plan!

I promise to blog more about life.. we did celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary so maybe I'll blog about that? SEE YA!
