It has been well over a month since I last posted, and many, many things have happened. I have now officially graduated from Edgewood, although the diploma still has not arrived so I still have an empty diploma cover. I have a job working as a nurse in the ICU here in town. I was working there as a nursing assistant, and am now trying to make the transition to nurse in the same unit. Fortunately all of the nurses I work with have been very supportive, and I have a great preceptor, so I think the transition is going fairly smoothly.

I did finally get my temporary license from the state, so I am a nurse, I do still have to pass my boards, and then I can call myself an RN, and I am very much looking forward to that. There are days that I still can't believe that I am now working as a nurse. I get to take care of people, work in scrubs (which is practically like working in pijamas), and walk around with a stethoscope around my neck. How cool is that.
