If you can remember a few posts back, I blogged about my incredible excitement regarding passing NCLEX, getting a nursing job, and receiving my provisional nursing license.
Well today reality set it.
Tomorrow is my first day on the floor with REAL patients as a REAL nurse and well...lets just say that excitement is not my most predominant feeling. But rather--NERVOUSNESS, FEAR, ANXIETY, and PANIC seem to be more fitting for this particular circumstance!
I know I am well prepared and maybe even "qualified" for this challenge, but some part of me just can't get over the fact that I am no longer a student nurse protected and overseen by my professor. The idea of being independent is something that I have longed for since day one of nursing school, and now that it is here it seems as though it has come all too soon.
While I could ramble all day long regarding my nervousness for tomorrow, I instead am going to re-read yesterdays blog and trust in the truth that God has me in the palm of His hand! Besides, if He was able to get me through nursing school, I am quite convinced there is nothing He cannot do!
As my morning devotionals reminded me "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose...If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:29, 31
About Me
- Sara
- I am Sara. As of May 16, 2009 I am now Sara Cook. My husband is my very best friend and the love of my life and a day doesn't go by that I am not reminded of how blessed I am to have him. I am a recent graduate of Olivet Nazarene University with a degree in Nursing. Until just recently, I have been really unsure that I even want to be a nurse..but God is reminding me every day that He has a perfect plan for my life and even though I may not know where the future will take me, my trust in Him will be more than enough to guide me. I am completely in LOVE with Jesus--although I still have times of doubt, times when I lack faith in Him, and times when I question. But it is in those moments that I grow and become more like the woman I was created to be. I LOVE to laugh and am a firm believer that " life is only as serious as you choose to make it." So because of that, I try to live my life in the present, not worrying about the future or bringing up the past. I have learned that my life is completely fulfilled and completely fulfilling when I am loving God and loving others--so that's what I try to do!
