The Last early rising

Well this is it. The last early rising. Of course now I will arise a little later on a more consistent basis. This is the start of my last day as a labour and delivery nurse at the hospital.

I have mixed feelings of course. Happy to be done with the shift work which has pledged me for some time, but sad to leave my little home on 2 center. I feel as though this day is gonna be quite difficult and the only way Im gonna get through it is if I just pretend that its another day and that Im just working like I always do. Other wise I fear I may crumple a bit and I dont think I want to have everyone see me cry. (not that most you have not. )

Its been a journey to get me here. Who would have thought that the scared little nursing student who could not even go into a patient's room to say hello would not be leaving the hospital to pursue more ambitions? Certianly not me. As this day unfolds Im going to enjoy it. its my day Im going to saver all the "last times" and talk to the patients and hear there stories for the last time. Its been a good ride, but like all good things it must come to a close. So as I take my final bow on the center stage and gracefully exit I know that the show will go on- its just a different production. Stay tuned for my last day reflections.
