Hey bestie,
I just wanted to take the opportunity to dedicate a whole article to you as you begin the next incredible stage in your life in nursing school. Here are a few quick things I want you to know and never forget.
I am going to miss our hangout time
Going from being able to pop up at your house whenever to having to plan when to come over is going to take some getting used to. Hang in there with me.
I will be here when things get rough
If you feel like crying, then you better call me. I don't care how early or how late it is. If you need a good roll-on-the-floor laugh, check your Snapchat, or better yet, think of all our inside jokes. If you want to up, you best believe I am putting my foot down and coming to slap you. This is your dream. Never give up!
You can practice on me when I'm sick
You of all people know I hate going to the doctor and taking medicine. However, I guess I do not mind letting you practice your new skills from nursing school on me.
I cannot wait to hang out
Yes! Finally! About freaking time! I know you won’t be getting the opportunity much to go out, but I promise you, do not ever have to worry about me turning down that opportunity to go out when you do have some free time.
We have a lot to discuss
Technically I could be a nurse with you since we have watched almost every Grey's Anatomy season together. If you ever want to discuss medicine -- or McDreamy -- remember I know a lot about hospital room drama.
God is with you
In the days to come, you'll experience all-nighters, tests, clinicals, and stress upon stress. Know that God is with you. Do not hesitate to pray and let Him take that stress away. He is your best friend. You are going to need Him more than anything.
I got you covered
More wine? How about some food? Do not worry I am on my way over with some now! I can not having you working these long nights on an empty stomach!
You are gorgeous
Tired? No worries. You rock the whole bags-under-your-eyes look. Trust me no matter how saggy they are, you’re still pretty. Your hair? Phenomenal! You work that updo girl! Meredith Grey rocks the over-worked look, and you do too! It shows you have important work to do. Truth.
I am proud of you
I remember all the days you cried and wanted to change majors because you thought you would not get into the nursing program, but here you are now. I knew all that hard work would pay off for you in the end. The world is going to need people like you helping them when they are hurt or sick.
I know these next few semesters will get harder and harder, but I have faith that you will survive them all. So when the end of nursing school does come to an end and you are officially a nurse, I hope these wise words come to mind: "It's a beautiful day to save lives" - Derek Shepherd
