I have one half day of community clinical left. One half.

I finished my last paper last night.

I have an interview this week.

I just turned a year older.

I am so excited for the next phase in my life that I can barely contain myself.

It’s taking everything I have to not insert a flurry of exclamation points throughout this entry.

Just when I had made peace with not working for a while and passing the summer like a kid again,  I got a call for an interview. It’s not the most ideal place, but I just want a chance to be seen and heard. This past week a few friends who were despairing as much as I have landed jobs. Whatever happens, I’m thrilled to start being a nurse (after the NCLEX).

Next week will be a flurry of activities, from graduation to bachelorette party to BBQs. Who says going back to school is no fun?

Projects I have on my list this summer of 2008, almost like when I was 15: reading, writing, sewing, making jewelry, biking, rock climbing, and road trips.

Thank you to you nursing students and nurses who have taken the time to write to me and cheer me up. Yes, I’ll be continuing this blog as a new nurse. I think the stories and experiences will only get more intense!
