Hello BB Readers,
Wow, it's been a minute since I've been on here and
written anything. I remember back at the beginning of nursing school when I
scoffed at the director of the nursing program when she said, "We own you
for the next year and a half." Well, she was right, and I was propelled
into my reality check with course work and study sessions. I also began to neglect this blog. I've really missed coming on here and writing updates. I'm still in a bit of transition at the moment going from school to work life, but I'm hoping I have a little more free time to get on here.
I recently completed the nursing program on
August 10. I remember being so emotional on the day of my pinning ceremony
(graduation). I even overheard a classmate say, "Laura is going to cry,
watch." This made me laugh because I do not remember being so emotional
before nursing school. It makes me wonder, did nursing school help me break
down a wall and let me know that it's okay to share your emotions with patients
or others, or was it just the fact that I survived nursing school and was so
relieved that I just couldn't hold back the emotions. I would like to
think it was a bit of both.
It has been an amazing journey of self-discovery
and discipline to get to this point. I still remember when I was laid off from
my job and feeling so lost. I remember coming to a realization during a long
run that I needed to whip myself into gear and work hard to get into nursing
school. When I look back, the whole roller coaster ride that was nursing school
was worth it. Sure, I cursed the grueling schedule and almost every single
exam, but with the help of some great nursing school friends and my amazing
supportive husband, I survived.
Next up: Studying hard and passing the NCLEX
examination!! I GOT THIS!
