Graduation

Now is  good time to post about graduation.  Wow! what an amazing 2 years it has been.  I have never been more stressed out in my entire life.  The first year of nursing school was really hard. As some may remember I had to repeat my block 2. It was embarrassing at first, but looking back on it, it wasn't entirely my fault, and I benefited from it so much.  I gained a best friend from repeating over the summer and I stayed focus on school stuff that made blocks 3 and 4 go by so much smoother for me.  In fact, this past semester, I have never been more comfortable in all of my blocks.  I did well on all of my tests, and I was comfortable in all of my clinical experiences.  I am so grateful to Kole for making my life that much easier the past 2 years. He made it possible for me to study whenever I needed to.  He sacrificed so much of his time for me.  I couldn't have done it without him. 

I graduated on May 14.  The pinning ceremony was really neat. My family and Kole's family came out to support me  and I was happy to see them there. My BFF took time off of work to come see me get my pin and that too, meant the world to me.  I miss my school friends terribly. When you spend that much time with people you become another family.  I feel weird not seeing them every day.  I was comfortable in school.  I do enjoy being home with Kody more right now. She is so dang funny.  I am studying for my BIG test! My state boards- the little piece of paper that tells me that  I can legally work as a RN. I don't know when that test will be. I'm still waiting for paper work to be processed and from what it looks like, it will take a while before I get a testing schedule.

Here are pics from my graduation.

I am happy to be home. Happy that i can study what I want when I want and that I have such an amazing support system. Even everyone who reads this and supports me, I am truly grateful and I don't take anything said for granted. It is nice knowing people care. So thank you for everything!!
