Today was my last day as a Teaching Assistant, and the end of grad school for the forseeable future. The ABSN class I started with is graduating.
These students are my heroes. I just love them. As we all crammed
into a conference room for a clinical wrap-up yesterday, my heart just
warmed. I got a reprieve this summer, but they didn't. They have been
working non-stop to complete an insane amount of difficult material and
crazy clinical hours into one calendar year. I have no doubt that every
single one of them will pass the NCLEX-RN and I would be thrilled to let
any of them, even as new grads, take care of me or my family members.
Those guys are crazy smart and driven! I feel a little guilty, because
in the end I think I learned more from them instead of the other way
around.
This job stretched me even when I
resisted. It taught me how clueless I really am and it taught me that I
can finish what I started. Most of all, it taught me that God has a
sense of humor and a whole lot more clarity than I ever will.
