I'm a PA-C!

edit: I wrote and saved this post almost 2 months ago and completely forgot about it. But alas, it is here! Taddaaaaaa
------------------------------------------------
Took the PANCE. Passed the PANCE. I am now a certified PA :) It's oveeeerrrrrr!!!!!

I am thinking more about starting another blog. Things are kind of hectic right now as far as my schedule goes. I feel that if I start one I just wouldn't write in it very often again - so whats the point? I've got some ideas brewing though. As soon as I start one, I'll post the link here. Thanks for reading, and thanks for your support!!

Love,
Liz

Time for a new blog?

So. the PA student is no longer a student. What will I write about now?! Being a PA? Sounds lame and boring though I am easily amused and am sure I could share amusing stories. But alas, it is probably illegal.

So. I'm done with that program. with that school. with those people. I passed the last remaining assignments - and with flying colors. I gave them an academic version of the finger.

So. Instead of a PA-S, I am right now just a PA, studying to be a PA-C, coming this friday. The PANCE is friday. I could push it back at no cost. But alas I feel like I'll be ready to kick that puppy's ass and get that concrete "C" after my name. We shall see, but I'm feeling pretty good about it so far.

The next, and last post, will be when I receive word of passing the exam (or dare I say not passing..). It shall be a great post :)

I definitely want to continue blogging. I'd probably actually write more with the new blog as I definitely won't be busy. So I could open it up to you my readers (if there are any of you left) to give me suggestions. What would you like to read about that I could write about, hm? Let me know ;-)

The first ending

I passed the practical with an 85 (well over the 65 I was aiming for!). And I graduated yesterday. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! :) I'm ECSTATIC.

I never thought I'd get here. The last couple of days have just been amazing. I got to see my parents since they moved to California. And living the day without the stress of feeling like I should be studying - feels amazing.

I do have a clinical rotation to do for 4 weeks (Aug 30 - Sept 24), a 5pg paper and an 50 question exam, but I am so not worried about those things. The worst is over. I completed and passed the hardest 2 years of PA school. The biggest challenge is to pass the boards (aka PANCE) which I plan on taking early-mid October. And then I will be a certified Physician Assistant. *does a lil dance*

Oh, and I also need to get a job. Although I've been applying and interviewing like crazy and some employers say oh yeah you're my favorite you're totally in...I still have not heard from them. So. on to the next one.

I'm currently sitting at starbucks, not studying, catching up on fb, twitter, blogs, etc. It feels so good.

So this is my update for now. Hey, maybe I'll post twice in one day (gasp). Later ;-)
