ADN School Has Ended! :/

Here I am, one day after finding out that I have officially passed Associates Degree Nursing school. 2-3 years of prerequisites, 3 years of waiting and 2 years of facing each test with the potential it could make or break me. It's such a weird experience in that you wait/ fight to get into nursing school and it is nothing you want more in life. Then you start and its constant stress. Even during the summer break that I had,  unknown of the next two semesters was stressful, plus life had a way of catapulting my stress to a whole new level through life situations. I didn't live each day constantly worried or anything and sometimes my stress just didn't effect me too bad. I'd like to think I handled it pretty well. Even when life made it even more challenging than it needed to be, I took one day at a time and through support and obviously being blessed with a smart brain, or maybe just a brain that was meant to be a nurse I survived. As much as it seemed like right at the end, I couldn't handle everything better, it's more that I did what I had to do to make it happen. I still believe that I was pretty stuck with some sucky situations. But all I can say is that for the past almost 2 years my life was pretty much one purpose: to survive nursing school. That was pretty much my identity. Now I have to pass the NCLEX-RN and then think about finding a job. I realize that now, after all of the fighting to survive, I have to find my identity again. I have to go back to the world loving, healthy living, fair trade, made in USA, poly, Jesus loving girl I am. Hopefully I will add RN to that in a few months!
