NursingZen

It’s 7:17 am, I’m showered and typing, and I feel fairly awake. I’m impressed by this small miracle. I need to remember to celebrate small steps toward being a nurse. Another item of note: I haven’t been late to class or any appointments this week. One week. It is a bit crazy to realize that I’ve only been ‘on the go’ for a week. I definitely felt Gemini-like this week too, which I may have to get into another time. I’m afraid I’m going to be starting a coffee habit again, too.

Update: It’s the evening now. I’ve met about 40 people in one week, half the class. I’m one of those who find it awkward to stand or sit next to someone whose name I don’t know but who obviously is part of my life now. So I introduce myself.

We took our class picture today. Over the past two years I was one of those prospective students who looked longingly at the 2006 MEPN photo, trying to see if I could glean any secrets to gaining entry to this program. And now here I am in that picture. It all feels a little surreal.
