I'm a College Graduate, Ya'll!

Hey guess what? I GRADUATED ON SUNDAY!!

3rd Semester of Nursing School

As you can probably imagine, I spent most of my weekend with family and friends celebrating. So I have no blog posts scheduled and a camera full of pictures with a recap of pinning and graduation coming your way.
But for now, I'm going to raise my glass one more time and do a toast.

3rd Semester // 4th Semester // 1st Semester

To nursing school.
To the orientation, when you assigned over 100 pages to read before the next Monday.
To my first semester, when I thought putting in a foley was the scariest thing ever.
To the nights spent doing care plans until 2am and waking up at 5am.
To the mucus, the blood, the urine, the stool and all of the above

4th Semester

To patients that were difficult
and patients that made it worth it.
To the teachers that made me cry
and the teachers that inspired me.
To the lifelong friends I've made
and the classmates that made me just a little bit stronger.

To the teachers that made me think on my feet
and some amazing preceptors that showed me what true nursing is.
To the impossible tests to ridiculous projects
To doing compressions until my arms felt like they were falling off while trying to save a life
to holding a patient's hand while they found out some horrible news
To the laughs and the tears and the nights I thought I couldn't finish
and to two full years I will never forget.
Nursing school, you sure were worth it
But I'm glad I never have to go back!

Sunday

I'll be back tomorrow with a real post. I've got a lot to catch you up on!
