It’s 5 am and I’m about 2 hours away from finishing my last consolidation nursing shift of my (second) undergraduate career. It’s exciting, promising, frightening, and sad all balled in to one!
It seems like such a long time ago, yet such a short time ago, that I decided to embark on a new nursing adventure. I can definitely say it was a excellent choice – I’ve never felt more fufilled when it comes to finding something I can do, and do well. In many ways I channel my mum and grandma, and I think that adds to how awesome this nursing biz feels to me.
At the same time, it’s been tough slugging at times. I’ve been stressed, annoyed, broken down, and mixed up. I haven’t had a time in my marriage yet when I haven’t been working on school work. It’s going to make a big difference. And not having a job lined up yet, when many of my fellow classmates do, is really scary. Worst part, I desperately want to work with the paediatric population and it’s a competitive line of work…We’ll have to keep our fingers crossed…
At the very least, right now, in my tired state, I can tell you I am glad to be almost done. Huzzah! Now on to the next step!
