NCLEX passed, license received and now the real fun begins. I have revamped and revamped again my resume, tidied up my cover letters and added a few more professional references. There seems to be a fine line between expressing interest and begging for a position. I see why some people get discouraged, early on. Excellent grades are a plus but who you know is so much more.
I am not worried, but I am trying to keep from putting all my eggs in one basket. I believe as long as I am in a medical-surgical unit in a hospital that puts patients first and strives to bring evidence based practices into actual practice I will have a great time.
It has been weird not studying my butt off like a crazy women. Will spend some time reviewing some fundamentals and critical care. I think I'll take everyone's blood pressure today so I keep my skills current.
So far I am enjoying the opening pages of this new chapter!
