Today was my first official day of nursing school. I started off the morning with two hours of pathophysiology followed by two hours of health assessment lecture. At 4 PM I came to health assessment lab in my scrubs and dansko clogs, and although I felt as though I hadn’t yet earned the honor of wearing this uniform, I couldn’t help but look around at the simulation mannikins (who can supposedly moan in pain) with a heart full of pride and joy. I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
