So excited to get my badge today for the hospital where I'll be doing my clinicals this semester. It makes me feel so official! I can't wait to get started. I have a FOUR freaking hour orientation that I guess I should start. Plus I'm supposed to read one chapter before class AND go over a 40 pg power point & take notes on it. I mean seriously, four hours people?? Your hospital is NOT that interesting I'm sure.....
So as you can see I have GRADUATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!! I am SO happy that nursing school is over, but can we say holy terrified? Tomorrow is the NCLEX & I feel thoroughly unprepared. Fortunately our school provided us with the HURST Review and even though I have been studying this for about 2 weeks now I still feel completely terrified to actually take the test. Of my former classmates I know of one so far who has failed....so scary... The rest of them are chugging along & passing on a daily basis, hopefully I will be one of them! But to rewind, here are a few pics from graduation & my graduation party that my precious husband & sister threw for me: That's my baby girl to my right, she looks taller than me! I seriously couldn't have been cheesing any harder!! My nursing bestie & his bf hiding in the back! My study buddy! My inlaws, aren't they precious!! Definitely one of the best days of my life!
Congrats! I remember my first badge too...I still have it! It's so exciting to just get it going...and be one step closer to getting it all over with : ) Good luck in med/surg. It was by far the most time consuming, hardest, my least favorite of the program. But it eventually ends, and you do learn a lot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragment!! I LOOOOVE your blog :) I'm not sure if we get to keep our badge when we're done, but if we do I am certainly going to keep it as a memento :)
