I did it!

I finished my first full year of nursing school! And I didn't just survive it... I actually did a pretty good job. I can't believe how much I've learned and grown over the past year.

Last night, I was inducted into the International Honors Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau -- or what I've been casually calling the nursing hall of fame.

I do have class this summer, starting on June 2. We're completing our preceptorships, which I believe is something like 350 hours of working with a nurse in one of the local hospitals. I don't yet know:

A) which hospital I'll be at

B) what kind of unit I'll be on

Or,

C) my shift.

We got to request all of these things, but I believe I wrote on my card: "I will work at any hospital for any shift if it means I can precept in a labor and delivery unit." Who knows where I'll end up? My only hope is that it's not the night shift.

Between now and then, though, I'm going to Hawaii with a friend from school.


Alooooooooooooooooha!
