Tomorrow is my last day of nursing school (exit exam)

So as I promised you in my earlier post from about two months ago about how school was going for me. Well, tomorrow is my last day and the feeling is bittersweet, only because nursing school kept me on my toes. Meanwhile, I'm very happy to be finished and to start looking for work as a nurse. Thanks to me being the only boy out of four kids, my mom spoils me and will be paying all my entrance fees to start the RN program next month (yayy!!) I'll be stuck with the monthly bill besides that, but I'll make a way. This journey seemed so impossible and long in the beginning but time flew by soooo fast, geesh!! Nursing school I say was challenging, not hard though it kept me busy and ALMOST made this guy shed a few tears. I've been an CNA for the past 6 years and have learned so much within them years which will help me to be a better nurse and leader, I know where I came from. One thing I promised myself throughout my entire nursing career is, that I will never be too good to help my fellow nurses or CNA's. Yes, I'm used to cleaning poop, showering a patient while the others are waiting for me to help them out of bed and "trying to help Mr. Jones find his wife, whose been dead for the last 10 years". Through it all, I've learned, worked hard and had my fair share of gross moments. To all future nursing students I leave to you, It's okay to cry ALOT, DON'T PROCRASTINATE, STUDY, STUDY, STUDY and always treat and applaud yourself.
