The Start.

The time has finally arrived. That's right, I am officially a Nursing Student. I completed my first week full of orientation, 150 page syllabi's, new teachers, and already a few tears. That's right I have already become overwhelmed and a bit stressed but all is well. 

On Tuesday we had a transition ceremony. This ceremony focused on the start of this new journey we were about to jump into. They spoke of the relationships that would be formed with our professors and other Nursing classmates. How during the next 2 years we would grow. We would become stressed, overwhelmed, and at times lost in a sea of paperwork and nursing diagnosis'. But it would all be worth it.  We made our way to the front of the room and our professors stood as we lit the candles given to us. To signify the lights we would be. The lights in a world that is sometimes filled with darkness. A light to our patients. 

Going out into the world with a Christian mindset. To do no harm to our patients. To take the time to pay attention to each patients needs or fears. There will be times when they need a hand to hold or someone to laugh with. I can not wait for these days. To serve HIS kingdom everyday. 

Tuesday I being my first rotation of clinical. Chronic then Psychology. Next year I will begin with Acute and OB. I am so excited to start this adventure. One that leads to that RN next to my name and hopefully a job in hospital.
