Yesterday was orientation and now I am extremely excited!! There was this moment when the facilitator said, "Welcome to Nursing, you are now officially student nurses"...it really hit me - I'm FINALLY doing this! Something I have wanted my whole life, I'm finally doing it!! It was a very emotional moment for me (sitting in a room with a bunch of other people). I probably sound silly saying it like that, but its the honest truth.There was a TON of information covered yesterday and I'm still sifting through it, but I am so excited that I barely slept last night with everything swirling around in my head. Here's to a great semester for everyone!!

The Director of the Program came in and gave us a BIG welcome. She also gave us a band-aids in a cute little case. She says to us: " Congratulations ! , you all are officially certified to apply band-aids" I thought it was so cute and funny. Ofcourse, now that the first semester is over, I know how to do alot more than apply BAND-AIDS
schreibere 12 Posts Jan 10, 2009 That's not silly--I actually got a little chill when I realized the same thing in orientation yesterday! We're finally doing it! I'm also a bit overwhelmed but I'm hoping it will get better with the first week of class. Good luck and congrats!
