Residency is over!

Yesterday......I officially graduated from my NNICU residency.  And so......tomorrow.....I work my first day on the floor.....with my own assignment.....and no preceptor.  I have mixed emotions of excitement....and scared out of my mind.  

I had class for the past 2 days....and took my final yesterday morning.  After work- my residency class (me and 8 other girls) and a few nurses from the unit went out to dinner to celebrate.  The girls stayed the night with my mom and Geoff was able to take off of work a little early to join me.  It was a good time, but I was a little worn out from the week.

I came home to find these flowers on the kitchen table that Parker had picked out for me.  (I did not ask her to pose with the flowers.  I got the camera out to take the picture of just the flowers, and she propped herself right up beside them.  I thought it was so sweet because she was so proud of them.)

So wish me luck!  I'm excited (and relieved) to be finished with the residency because now I will have no more classes and be able to work my schedule....which is only 3 days a week.    Just ready to get settled into our new schedule.
