I literally was confused. I didn't know what I was seeing... why did it say 2022?? Then I looked at the top of my home page and it said this...
What?!? I passed?!? How in the heck did I do that?!? If you have followed my NB story, you'll know that last year was rough with the knee injury and all (see previous posts). Then I started to cry, which is only par for the course when it comes to National Boards.
Somehow through the mess of last year I persevered and made it! I am still in shock and probably will always be!
Congrats to all those that passed, whether it be your first try, second or third! I am also thinking of those who did not pass this round. You can do it, I know you can. Good luck on retakes!

Congratulations! I missed it this time (but am 98% of the way there) so I will try again!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mary! It's such a great feeling :)

Congratulations! I know your feelings exactly...I certified in 2008. There's nothing like when the shock wears off and you realize you're actually reading that message correctly on the screen.
