i'm 1/4 nurse!

hard to believe block 1 has been over for an entire summer, and block 2 is 2 weeks away from beginning.

the journey that has been nursing school has been different than anything i could have thought of. i love it.

there's a level of inner strength i didn't think would need to be as actively present as pens and a stethoscope. the reading, the studying, the learning, the clinical-ing (yup, a real word), the growing, the cramming...all of it.

when i sat in orientation back in january the week before class started, we were told that we wouldn't be the same people we were sitting there that night. at first i didn't believe it. i was told the same thing about my journey at GCU, and while i can see some changes that transpired, i'd say i was relatively the same person upon that graduation.

but this time - this time it's true. only 1/4 of the way through nursing school and i can already tell i'm not the same person i was before i started. i can only imagine how i'll feel in december of 2011.

maybe i'll get better at updating this so it serves its purpose - to be a journal of the path that is nursing school ;)
