Exactly a year ago, I attended my college graduation where I got my college diploma and my RLE pin symbolizing that I am finally a BSN graduate. I can still remember how happy I was that my days of being a student have come to an end. All those case studies and case presentations, hospital duties, the NCPs and drug studies and a whole lot more that usually consumed most of my 4 years in college, were finally over. Man, college days were sure difficult no matter what degree you want to attain but getting a BSN Degree? It’s like finding a fine, fine needle in a haystack. So I’m very, very much thankful that I was able to get mine. ;)
19 March, 2011 - College Graduation Day
18 March, 2011 - College Pinning Day
Now, thinking of those days can still make me sentimental. Even though I experienced a lot of hardships during those years, and there were a lot times I wish I had taken another degree, I was still glad that I didn’t. Cause today, I’m 100% sure that I took the right path. With all the things I’ve went through after the day I graduated, I realized what I really wanted in life. I don’t mind taking vital signs and measuring I&Os of patients all day, or standing in a very long OR case and handing over surgical instruments to the surgeon (and even cleaning them afterwards), or figuring out a scrawled doctors order, or just talking to an ill patient who has no guardian at all. Maybe for others, that’s something lame or hard or whatever they wanna call it but for me, it’ what I wanna do. It’s what I’m made to do because it’s what my heart tells me to do. So that’s what I’m gonna do. I may have it completely figured out in an odd way but at least I got it all understood now. We all have dreams, and the only way to achieve our dreams is to act upon it. ;)
I hope you too, are acting upon your dreams now. As for me, you can wish me luck! xx
