Well, here it is. I'm a college grad. I'm probably still in shock, because none of it seems real. I'm 25 years old, and except for a 'break' in Iraq, I've been in school my WHOLE LIFE! But now I'm done with nursing school, and I dont know what to do with myself! All I have left to do is take my boards this summer (exactly when, I have no idea). After that, I'm an RN! Wow, that's scary. Well, just intimidating really, it's a lot of pressure. You cant be a mediocre nurse...although I've definitely seen it, it aint pretty! All I want is to be effective, useful, thorough and caring. If I strive for that, I cant lose, right? I will miss all my friends though, many of them I havent known for that long because I switched from the evening program, but they've all been awesome, and I'm sad to be relocating. I wish I could work with you guys, we'd ROCK the hospital :) Good luck to all my fellow graduates, just be the amazing, funny people I know, and you'll be successful anywhere you go. Maybe we'll cross paths again someday! Class of 2009!
