Can't believe it's over
Dec. 18th, 2010 11:47 pmAs I said to some of my classmates last night, I think I'm in a mildly dissociative state, because it doesn't seem quite real that we're done. It can't actually be over, right?
And of course, it's really not. There's still the NCLEX, then finding a job, then taking the next steps to keep going educationally.
But this part, the bit that started here, just closed with pinning last night. I may be a nurse who is a perpetual student, but no longer am I a student nurse.
It all went off without a hitch. Well, the pinning did. Dinner had drama, because some stuff at the restaurant got screwed up and Patsfan doesn't handle changes in plans well. At all. But even that all worked out in the end.
I think I'm going to sleep for at least a week.
Except there's ritual tomorrow, and then ... and then ... I'll try for a good night's sleep anyway. ;-)
