OMGosh, OMGosh, OMGosh!!!! (sort of OT) 
I passed my nursing licensing exam that I took on Friday, just found out
an hour ago!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
I was soooooooooooooooooooooo sure I was going to fail it, I've been away from the medical field since Dec and am so rusty with everything. I studying maybe 10 hours in 7 months for it.
Since May my focus, concentration and memory have really, really taken a nose dive.
This is a killer exam and people study for MONTHS before it, they say you are supposed to study for at least 20 hours a week for at least a month preceeding the exam.
I don't know how I passed it.
But omgosh I am so very, very happy.
Suddenly my future seems so much brighter. Now all I have to to is come up with the $110 to pay the Board of Nursing for an additional provisional license since my current one expires this week, then complete my 120 hour internship (which will be MUCH easier to find now that I can tell potential employers that I've already passed the licensing exam) and I am a fully licensed nurse!
However it is bittersweet as I saw my stbxah after I found out and told him, he was very happy for me. I wanted to run up and jump in his arms in happiness to tell him, and I could tell he wanted to hug me to congratulate me, so that was hard. I do owe a lot to him though for this, as he worked his butt off at work AND at home with the kids and house in order for me to go through my 3 years of schooling in order to make this all happen.
After so, so, so many years of struggling in every way (think raising 7 kids with no help and one with major disabilities) this should have signaled a new beginning for us, a time for being much more prosperous, the kids are older now - 1 gone, 1 leaving for college, it should have been "our" time now to enjoy life with some extra time and a lot more money with me being a nurse.
Instead he is there and I am here and a divorce is in the future, even though I know we both love each other a lot.
Despite the bittersweetness, this is an awesome day! Yippee!

Good for you. I am sorry it is bittersweet for you, but the times we pat ourselves on the back, without anyone watching, can be the sweetest. I was going to mention in your post the other day about sabatoge that you may just pass the test and all the worrying could be for nothing--glad I was right 
) . I said a prayer for you that day. Continued blessings for your accomplishments!

Congratulations to you!!!! 
Now don't be so negative, all that stressing the other day was wasted energy, and made you feel bad for no reason! Believe in yourself, you are obviously more capable than you give yourself credit for!!!
