The long wait took it's toll last July 25th. Yay! Its official.
Nicole Lei Ma. Paz Socorro Perez Fonacier RN. :)

It was about 9ish in the evening when I received a text message from a certain friend, it goes "ui girl congrats. galing m! hanep". And with that I was like "ha?" Confused and all. I know that the board exam results is due to be released at any minute but it still caught me by surprise. That's when my friend told me that I P-A-S-S-E-D. I didn know how to react at first but I really felt like crying as I jumped off my bed. In a split second my brother came knocking to the door screaming my name. He showed me a pic taken from the internet with my devastatingly long name printed in black and white. I hugged him tight and thanked him. The feeling was phenomenal. Right there and then, messages from all over were already coming in, ranging from congratulations to names with RNs haha! One life changing night indeed.
The feeling of fulfilment and relief flooded my whole self as the night went by. I immediately told my parents, who in turn declared how proud they were of me and so on. It was really great! it wasnt just me, i shared the feeling with my friends and classmates as well. All 170 of us, the new RN's of our Alma Mater.
It was a stand out accomplishment indeed but i know my road doesnt end there. I still have millions of miles ahead of me. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!
