September was a pretty crazy month. I had my NCLEX exam for my nursing license and several tasks to complete in order to qualify for Peace Corps service. I am very pleased to announce that I successfully passed my NCLEX on my first attempt (as did all of my classmates!), and I have been medically cleared for Peace Corps service! There was so much stress during the waiting period, but once I received the news that I had passed and had been medically cleared I enjoyed the most amazing sense of relief.
The next eight weeks will include working, visiting friends and family, attending weddings, and getting ready to move from Las Vegas to my mom's house in Montclair, California before leaving for Malawi. This time period will carry its own stress, as tying up loose ends is always challenging, but it will be a time of great excitement as well as I get ready for the next phase of my adventure! I will attend training in Orlando for my Rafiki Foundation trip the weekend of October 16, after which time I will likely have a better idea of what to expect in Malawi.
More to come in October!
