    Y’all I’m in my last year of nursing school, I’m tired, exhausted, fatigued, stressed, depressed, and the happiest I’ve ever been because I know my future is bright. It’s hard and gruesome but completely going to be worth it.

    I graduated on Feb 18th and was scheduled to take NCLEX on March 17th. Due to Covid, my NCLEX was cancelled at 11pm the night before my exam! I was already worked as a graduate nurse and they told me that I would have to be a tech until I could take boards. I was heartbroken. I had been a tech for 4 years prior to this. I found this out the same day that I found out that my graduation ceremony would be cancelled. I cried soooo hard. On the 23rd, I found out that they had reopened limited testing centers across the US. I was so excited! I jumped to go schedule! I drove 4 1/2 hours on the 25th and I cried the whole drive back because I got the full 130 questions that they have temporarily reduced the exam down to. I just knew I had failed. On the 27th of March, I found out that I had passed!!!! I am officially Candy BSN, RN

    Oh My Gosh I just finished watching your channel and almost teared up a little bit when you said you’ve been a nurse for 2.5 years. I’ve been watching you since you were in nursing school & at the time I was trying to get accepted into nursing (got rejected twice but the third time is a charm!💜) I remember watching your channel wanting nothing more than to be a cool smart young beautiful nursing student like you & now all I wanna do is flourish into a prosperous intelligent RN just like you. I graduate nursing school in December of 2020 (hopefully if everything stays on track bc of Covid-19) & I’ve been so paranoid about being a young nurse bc I’ll barely be 23 when I graduate but after being a faithful subscriber for so long, you really do give me hope every time your drop a video! Thanks so much for being such a down to earth nurse & always showing the real🤍💜

I also remember the video of you checking your email to see if you passed! You have always been an inspiration and I cannot wait to use all these tips after graduating. (Hopefully in 2 years if I get accepted to start this fall)

I remember telling myself " if she can do it , so can i. " I graduate in 59 days ( and counting ) and by God's grace have secured my dream job.

Then the dates i wanted to take the test werent available... it was a big cluster.... any nursing student reading this ,, pay your fees and send in your stuff a month ahead of time.
