The End

I am entering my final semester of undergrad and am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have been able to reflect about my time as a nursing student and what even more time to think about the next step - grad school (more to come). I entered nursing school knowing that my ultimate goal was to become a midwife. I cannot believe how naive I was and how lucky I am that it has all worked out. I thought casually that I would just get my nursing degree, you know, no big deal. Well, it kind of is a big deal. Nursing school has not been easy. Over the past 18 months I have had so many wonderful/horrible/scary experiences that have really made me appreciate the nursing profession and the wonderful people who are a part of it. I never thought of myself as a nurse but as a midwife but as I enter my final semester I am proud that in about 6 months time I too will be a nurse. It is not something I thought I would enjoy or be good at, to be honest, I never really thought of it at all.
