The day has finally come - I'm done!

Banquet tonight, graduation Sunday ...

I've waited for this for so long, but like so many of you have said, now that it's here I'm a bundle of mixed emotions.

I have about a month off to spend with my daughter, clean my house and possibly take a short family vacation. And I'll be taking the Kaplan review course, courtesy of the hospital where I'll start in the ED next month.

Congratulations on being done with school. It took a little while for me but got out of my "funk".

I have been out since May 9th and the first 2 weeks were really kind of weird. I got caught up on my sleep the first one once dd school was out, visited friends I hadn't seen in eons. Then started studying for the NCLEX, got that one out of the way now and start on Monday. I think the kids are ready to get back into some kind of schedule. They have their little lives too. This is the first week that I have actually got to enjoy playing with them since I have been off so that's been nice.

Good luck with NCLEX and let us know how ya do!!

Congratulations! Woo-hoo!

The good news is, the postpartum blues soon give way to starting day anxiety. I start my new job Monday, and I am just incontinent with anticipation!

But, hey, we survived this far, right?

Good luck.

Congratulations!!! Woohoo!!!

I had mixed emotions all the way up to the morning of my first day on the floor and now I couldn't be happier! I love, love, love the floor I'm on. The nurses (actually, all the staff) are awesome, helpful and very nice. My patients are wonderful. I've learned a lot and I've just finished day three.

I do have to say though, my back and feet are killing me! lol! I bought the Dansko shoes which I've been told take a little while getting used to so we'll see. I hope I didn't just waste $100.

Well, have a great break before work starts, enjoy your time with your family etc...
