Kira took her NCLEX examination on Monday morning. The test is a reactive test were the more questions you get correct the harder they get. The goal to pass is to stay above the passing curve. If you drop below you have to work your way back up. There was a possibility of 265 questions and a minimum amount of 75. You could be there an hour or you could be there for six hours. Well, that is what Kira what Kira tells me anyways. Then they can check on the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licencing Licensee Look up and Verification System to see if they have become a registered nurse (a state website). The system updates the following day around 11pm. So yesterday night she was getting very anxious and nervous to see if she passed. I volunteered to check for her. So at 10:58pm I tried checking on my phone and the site wasn't updating. So Kira hoped on her phone to check...
Her name came up in the search. this meant that she passed her test and is now a Licenced Registered Nurse, Kira Evans RN. This process reminds me of my FE exam. It is the Fundamentals of Engineering. The University of Utah requires you to take it to get your BS. Basically the similar equivalent to her certification. I guess there is a PE that is more of a Certification. Anyways a similar process. We had two four hour tests on a Saturday and had to use bubble sheets. Our results took eight weeks because it was graded against all other applicants taking the test and 70% passed and 30% failed. We are so proud of Kira for passing her test and becoming an RN. I know I have someone certified to care for me now. In honor of the journey of the past 7 years I wrote this for her. I love you Kira and we are very proud of what you have done.
