Waking up a Nurse

 Yesterday I officially walked out of the testing center with my last exam finished. Today I woke up as a Nurse.

  Something I never really considered is that when you become a nurse, you are a nurse every second of everyday, not just when you punch in on the job. 

 Today is the first day of the rest of my life as a nurse! Even with all the plans I have for the future, I wonder where this will all lead me? Who's lives will I touch? Who and how will my life be touched? I have met several nurses who are truly beautiful both inside and out and I strive to be like them. I strive for wisdom and for compassion. I hope that I can bring joy to so many people who's lives I unexpectedly pop in to.
