Since our school only has graduation once a year, in May, a bunch of us decided to put together our own little celebration at a friend's house. We are all wearing our lab coats. This is a small portion of the students from my class, but a good representation of the people I've been going to school with these last couple years.
It was a night with good friends, good food and a pinning ceremony. One of the girls in our class gathered money from those who wanted to participate, and bought an "RN" pin for each of us to pin on a fellow student. It was emotional for some, and such a neat experience for all. At the end of the night, in the outside fireplace, we had a ceremonial burning of scrub tops, notes or anything else that represented the tough road we've all been on the last couple years. It was a night to remember!!!
This is my good friend, Shari. She and I spent a lot of time together going to class together, studying, eating lunch at the hospital, carpooling, practicing skills, etc... She and I both have four kids. Only hers are older. Her oldest is in college and her youngest is the same age as Zoe, my oldest. We relied a lot on each other to help get through the tough times. Her friendship really helped make the days more bearable! I am forever grateful for her dedication to our friendship!!
