Well it's official...I'm a real RN!!

Take that NCLEX!

I start work tomorrow. I'm nervous and sacred. Am I old enough to take care of little sick precious children?

I feel unqualified. Yes, I survived not only nursing school, but also the NCLEX. The state of Oklahoma believes me to be qualified, but am I really? Sometimes the idea of being a nurse terrifies me. To have people trust you with their very lives, not only that, with the lives of their little babies!

I know this is what I am supposed to be doing, but that doesn't make it any less scary.

Plus...the night shift. REALLY? Who in their right mind thinks it is a good idea for me to stay up all night? When I get giggly and a little crazy they might rethink my shift!

All that aside. Do people really expect me to wear cartoon scrubs?







I realize that I am not the most fashionable person. But I don't think I can do it. I hope the children will understand because I cannot give in.

I will stay true to my purely solid shirts and bottoms. When have I ever worn patterns? Never in my LIFE!

I can't and I WON'T do it!
