So everything with school is wrapping up; we recently took our ATI Live Review class and that was awesome! For any of you that use ATI the Live Review is extremely useful and I wish they would have done it a long time ago! Very, very good for NCLEX prep. Next I finish up classes and have my Kaplan review course the first week of November and I will let you guys know how I like that one because it is quite an investment if you decide to take it. I paid $379 for the course and even though that seems insane, I figured I want to just pass the NCLEX and be good to go so why not spend the money? Plus you get your money back if you don't pass. Then the next week it will be white coat ceremony time and my family will be here to help celebrate! Can't wait! So much is going on right now and I actually decided to move home to Colorado while I wait to get into the Navy so I am also preparing to move right after graduation. CRAZINESS!! I will update you guys again soon, hope all is well! :)
I received a surprise call from my recruiter today and he notified me that he just got my commissioning paperwork!!! My oath to office and all other documentation is ready! Obviously I still have a lot to do before I actually commission and I am not eligible to even commission until after I graduate but I can't believe how close it is getting! Over two years in the making and finally nursing school is coming to close and my journey with the Navy will be starting soon. I have only one more week of nursing school and my graduation date is set for November 15th. I have decided to take the NCLEX and apply for a license in my home state of Colorado because our class was notified that the BRN in California is taking 3+ months to even process applications and make candidates eligible to take the NCLEX! NO CAN DO! I have to take it ASAP and my recruiter agreed that applying in Colorado would be best.
