RN, BSN ...really?!

when i tell people I am a nurse... its kinda weird.
i dont feel old enough to be a nurse.
i dont LOOK old enough to be a nurse.
but i am.

today i sat in on a committee meeting at my hospital.
we are trying to become a magnet hospital (a huge nursing award/recognition)
its a HUGE deal.
we are very close to getting it.
the "appraisers" are visiting our hospital right now... so work is a big deal right now
anyway my mtg today was with them. i was the "new grad" rep.
it was so strange to be in such a "huge important" meeting... with all of these grown ups!
(i was easily the youngest by twenty years. except the other two young girls... who were in there 30's)
anyway- it was a strange feeling. i felt like i was a kid still... but yet im not.
strange place to be.
i am def a kid. and def young! but i have a real job. i have a degree.
i am like a grown up.
i am a nurse!

its pretty unbelievable to me too...

ps like the pic? i got my new official badge today. pretty spiffy huh. well... i feel important! :)
ps.s. IM COMING HOME TO GA IN TWO WEEKS!!!


love and peace to you all. off to ponder this "real world" that i am in...
