Yes....it is official! I am the happiest girl in the world! Last Friday, after a unbelievably crazy week, I officially became Rose, BSN, RN! My first day of work as a Registered Nurse was this past Monday night. I, however, practiced writing my new name all weekend long simply because I am so excited to finally be a real nurse! For example, I went out for celebratory drinks on Friday evening, and I paid with plastic, just so that I could sign my name Rose, RN. I am not kidding, either. Yes, I did get a few odd looks, but who cares?!
In all seriousness, signing my name for the first time at work with my new RN title gave me goosebumps. All of the years spent on undergraduate course work, clinical work, gaining experience as a nursing assistant...it still seems surreal to me that I really did it. I've looked up my name on the department of regulation and licensing website several times in attempt to help my brain process that I am a real nurse now.
Love you all,
Rose, BSN, RN
