I can't wait until...

[NurseBettyICU]

... now fill in the blank.

.... I can wear scrubs and comfy shoes to work instead of panty hose and heels. UGH!

[PreRN Katie]

I can't wait until...

I get my letter in (whether it says "congratulations" or not, I just want to know...although I'd prefer that it does in fact start with "congrats":D)!

I can say I'm in nursing school, rather than starting every sentence with "Well, hopefully when I get IN to nursing school..."

I don't have to sit behind a computer for 8 hours and then sit in class for another 4...

I get to buy my first nursey outfit! Comfy scrubs here I come!!!

All the stress of not knowing if I'm going to be accepted is GONE!!!

I get to start real nursing classes.

I get to say "I'm a nurse" with pride!

I get to see what it feels like when a dream you've had for so long comes true.:heartbeat

I CAN'T WAIT TO BE A NURSE!!!!!!!!!

Best of Luck to one and all, may your dreams become real!

... I can tell all the people that say "you have been in school so long, when are you going to finish"; you try juggling a fulltime job, a full time class load at least one semester out of the year, a house, mortgage, 4 kids + 1 bonus one if you count hubby and tell me how you feel

... I can finally say all this hard work has paid off

... I can have a career and not just a job

... Feel like I am truly giving back to others other than my children

... Start on an RN-MSN program right after I graduate so that I can keep going until all my dreams have been fulfilled

... Get that sweet little letter in my hands for acceptance or denial~here's to hoping it starts with "Congratulations"~

... I can call my aunt and sister on 3- Way and scream in their ears "I am in"

... Get some of that good "congratulations" nooky from hubby :chuckle Cheers!

[PreRN Katie]

Just thought of another one...

I can't wait until I can change my AN username from "PreRN Katie" to "RN Katie"!

[AB092504]

...I step foot on campus in March as a nursing student..

[sweet_lime]

I can't wait until.....

Long term: I save a life! I just had CPR training last night and While I hope that I would never have to use it, I know that it will happen someday - especially when I'm an RN!

... Or deliver a baby for the first time.

Shorter term: I can't wait to turn in my app and get the congrats letter

And even shorter term: I can't wait for class tomorrow. Its just one step closer to getting there.

...I can give all my business clothes to the local women's shelter

...I can email all my clients/contacts letting them know I won't be available anymore

...I can get rid of all my business-related paraphenalia and fill that space with nursing books instead!

...I can say "I'm a nursing student", not "I'm taking pre-reqs to get into nursing school"...such a mouthful!

...I can leave work each day knowing I mattered to someone

[Sand_Dollar, BSN]

... I'm done my pre-reqs and can call myself a nursing student.

... I graduate and can say I have a degree.

... I get a nursing job to pay of my loans I haven't gotten...yet.
