May 2003 grads check in!

[NYCRN16]

I was wondering about all of you guys who graduated with me in May of 2003..

I am at the 6 month mark at work (I started July 7), and I cant believe how time has flown. I think it first hit me in september when people were going back to school and I wasnt!

When people used to say that your "real" education is on the floor/unit they werent kidding!

Did you guys get the job you wanted? Are you happy? Do you regret becoming a nurse?

Good luck to us, the class of 2003, and to the new December 2003 class who will be joining us very soon in the workforce!

Hi there!

I graduated in June...after a small detour (I hated the 1st place I worked)...I now feel like I'm "home". The hospital I'm at now is a much better fit. I love working 2nd shift (although I don't have much of a life outside work!) and I love the people I work with. I couldn't ask for more....
