But at 3 a.m. today I finally got my official results. I am now a licensed practical nurse in the state of Oklahoma.
This last little post is just to give those who stumble across it one last little update. I will most likely start a new job in the ER at the VA next month, and I start classes full time at Rose State today.
It's been a little over a year since I started, and while I've finally reached a point of tangible accomplishment, I still have a long way to go; I have to take 18 hours over the next two semesters to get into OU's BSN program, as well as three exams.
But I do feel that I've learned a lot, including:
- I like emergency nursing a lot more than floor nursing
- Study groups are more efficient with beer
- I definitely want to get a master's degree
- I'm pretty decent at playing beer pong
- There's a definite bias in hospitals against LPNs
- Red River Pale Ale might be the best beer in Oklahoma
- I really like beer (OK, I already knew that!)
Now I'm gonna go have a beer to celebrate.

HE LIVES!!!!!!!
Howdy, George!
And congratulations! With scores like that, you can clean up my vomit any time!
Congratulations, George! And good luck with classes at Rose State, and with the new job.
Also, happy belated birthday!
Good luck with everything, George.
Congratulations, George! We knew you could do it. I hope you love your new job and classes.
It's so hard to believe you could do all that in a year, but then again, you're super nurse. It's no small wonder that you can master biology with a beer in hand. Congratulations!
