I passed nursing state boards! That means I’m finally a nurse. All this time, all this school…now I’m a nurse and graduation is just a month away. It’s so wierd to have invested so much of your life into something to watch it completely change. I’ve been reflecting a lot on what I’ve been doing these last years. It makes me wonder if what I have been doing has been worthwhile. I guess I’ll know here pretty soon! I know I love nursing as a career, but it’s going to be so hard and different on my own. I just got hired at Loma Linda Med Center’s NICU, and I will be starting work there on August 20th, which means we won’t be going anywhere but closer to Riverside, actually. I get a preceptor in the program at LL for 20 weeks, which means someone will be making sure I don’t completely blow it! Actually, they are really there for support and encouragement, making sure we know that we will be okay once we are completely on our own. Pretty exciting. Thanks to all who have already shown such incredible support. I’m so grateful. And I can’t wait to start this next stage of life with all of you!
