Hey Y'all - Happy FriYay!
I am writing this post as I grin from ear to ear, because a wonderful thing happened this week.
Wednesday, I completed my orientation for NURSING SCHOOL - and I was so excited! I got to reconnect with some friends/classmates and though I have a ways to go, this day signified the culmination of my prerequisite course load and proved that hard work and determination can truly pay off.
Naturally I found myself reflecting, upon the day in which I decided I wanted to become a nurse. It wasn't this miraculous discovery and I hadn't always known - though I wish I had, as that would have saved a lot of time and money. Anyway, I digress...
Prior to the start of orientation; we entered a lecture hall where we could finally see the faces of those who were selected to begin, one of the regions most competitive programs. I had recognized more people than I had expected and as I smiled and nodded, I gradually made my way to a seat up front. The vibe was very positive, we all sort of left our competitive mindsets at the door and simply conveyed our excitement for one another, which was cool. I really hope that team atmosphere continues.
After receiving our badge and syllabus, we reviewed the textbooks and discussed what was to be expected throughout Nursing 100 and the program in general. We were then given a tour of the simulation labs, where our 'patients' could seize, develop cyanosis, talk and who knows what else! Finally, the day ended with a video on the yesteryear's of nursing. I know what you may be thinking... but at the risk of sounding cheesy, it actually made me feel proud to be entering a profession with such an honorable history.
If you made it to the end of this wei
rd rant of mine, thank you - I truly appreciate that you've read my post. However, now comes the time where I must excuse myself...As it was so eloquently stated by R. Kelly, "It's the freakin' weekend."
