Today has been great. I finally knocked the test off my checklist for this year. I passed the CCM test!
I had to turn and reposition multiple times or else Iād end up with a pressure injury. LOL Kidding aside, it was worded so differently from the practice tests that I did but I am beyond grateful that I did it given just 2 weeks of review. The test taking strategy really works. Of course the knowledge about the content is also important.
Also, it felt strange because this is where I also took my nursing boards 10+ years ago. It brought back the memories. I think I sat at the same seat number like last time. I went to the testing center an hour early because I was sleepy. I had to do some laps so that I feel a little pumped. I saw a boba shop too but didnāt want to have that sugar rush. It was a reminiscent experience nonetheless.
Another topic, I was overwhelmed with school deadlines last month and furious when my professor announced a video presentation wasnāt required just two days before the submission deadline. It seemed inconsiderate to expect students to juggle multiple tasks. What kind of instructor is that? I had already completed the presentation when she made that change. Fortunately, I received an A+ anyway. The three-week break before the Summer semester is a blessing.
The remaining tasks for this month include meeting with my mentor, the chief nurse executive (CNE) of our hospital, and attending the final day of my leadership training program at UCSF, which Iāve been attending for the past seven months. Iām also planning to take a lot of photos at Pier 39 and Embarcadero. I miss those random photo walks. Itās been a while since I last visited the city.
How about you? How was your day? I hope you are having a great one.
