Last days

This semester definitely couldn't be ending soon enough...and this week marked the last day of class and clinical. Now just finals left and Christmas break here we come. Since being admitted to nursing school I have had horror stories about this semester, I feel like I'm almost stepping into the unknown now as everyone's warnings and horror stories revolved around this semester. I can say that now that I'm at the other end of it, it really wasn't that bad, but it definitely was busy, crazy at times, but I learned SO much and really feel like I have the skills to go work as a nurse.
Here we are on our last day of class...the basement of our patho building has a "walking track" and the walls are painted with giant walking grass (so very weird, a brand new building and they graffiti it with weird tall grass-but as Rachel pointed out on the first day, it feels like you're on "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" every day as you walk to class. Couldn't miss out on a photo of that memory.
And clinicals...what can I say. 12+ hours is a long day (but what we all have to get used to). Thursday was our last day and it was crazy to think back to the beginning of the semester and how overwhelmed we were. By the end we were confident, knowledgeable, and ready for something new. We celebrated by going out to lunch with our entire clinical group. We had a lot of fun together this semester!
One more week! Grant and I both are SO ready to be done with what is supposedly the "worst" semester for both of us :)
