I am a total Mrs. Type A. I have been running around for these past couple of weeks trying to get everything together before orientation. Had to do a CPR class and immunizations and so many other things. I am breastfeeding my son so I have been pumping like crazy to have a back up stash in the freezer for him. I thrive on chaos and stress. I have this weird calm feeling about attending orientation on Tuesday. I am so happy to be going. Its really not like me to be freaking out. Anyone have this calm almost giddy feeling about your first day?

let me remember how happy I was when first I was accepted in the nursing program years ago,
the calm and giddiness - yes there were days that I felt that - it represented my happiness and motivation
The courses were a breeze and I did well

Yes, I am calm too, on the outside. I don't really freak out about things, at least not so you could tell. I am giddy inside all the time these days and I find myself smiling a lot lately. My dream is coming true in 6 days!

I remember how calm and excited I was my first few days....a feeling of "I can be a REAL nurse!" So, I know what you're feeling, keep the faith!
