Graduation Day

I can't believe I made it. Tonight we had our ceremony. I had promised myself I would not cry. When I was called up I balled like a baby. I had so many emotions all at one time. I was proud I had made it, I was sad that I will not see all these people on a daily basis anymore. It was the hardest 2 years of my life but also the most rewarding. I feel like I can survive anything now. I just want to say to all the students out there to hang in there and believe in yourself. There really is a light at the end of the tunnel.:nurse:

Our pinning ceremony was two days ago. It was the most wonderful thing to see our instructors lined up and watching us walk in. I was crying, too. It was the proudest, most perfect day of my life. And like Mistirose said, it made me sad to think I would never see some of these people again. You always promise to stay in touch, but somehow, it doesn't always happen.

Congratulations!!!!! I graduate on the 16th and am afraid that I am going to cry too! I have seriously spent almost every single day of the past 16 months with these people and going from that to never seeing most of them again is really sad. My family doesn't live here, so these people really did feel like a big family to me and I definitely saw them way more than my own family. Congratulations to all of the new grads and best wishes to those who are still going along in their journey of nursing school! :D

I'm starting to tear up just reading this post! I can just imagine what state I'll be in on Saturday. It's such a bittersweet thing - I'm so used to being in school four days a week with such a fabulous group of people. We've been through so much together, and now we won't be seeing each other as much anymore. I won't miss the endless lectures or scary clinical instructors, however. (I'll keep this one clinical instructors face in mind when I go up on stage- that will keep me from being sad!):D

Thank you all for responding. Graduation day is a bitter sweet day. Its a time of change. I am adjusting to not having to be in a classroom. I am getting to know my family again and I even cook dinner. My family has not had many of these since I started school. Fast food was becoming a bad word in my house lol. Good luck to all of you and I wish you all sucess!

I'm surprised I didn't cry, but I was close! Our pinning ceremony was last friday night & it was beautiful. Our graduation was Saturday, and the nursing majors were second to last to graduate, and were the rowdiest of them all! As soon as they announced "Bachelor of Science in Nursing", we all screamed and woo-hooed and hugged...it still hasn't sunk in that it's over!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had my final on Monday night. We had to wait for hours afterward and then one by one we went into our prof's office to find out if we passed or failed the class. I was shaking so bad! I went in and when she showed me that I passed I just started crying. I went around her desk and hugged my prof. I was full of all kinds of emotions! Unfortunately 5 of my friends didn't make it. It was a bittersweet feeling. I wanted us all to make it.

Next Wed. is our pinning ceremony and next friday is graduation! I can't wait! I volunteered at last semester's pinning and I was crying and I wasn't even in it! lol

Anyhoo, can't wait to be together with my friends celebrating our accomplishment! :nurse:
