I am recovering from a fabulous week surrounded by friends and family, post-grad fun! My pinning ceremony was a week ago at a beautiful vineyard with the best sweet white wine I have tasted. The weather was perfect. We were on edge all week because it had been cold and rainy. The pinning ceremony is a tradition in nursing where a new nurse receives her nursing pin from an experienced nurse. In my case (as other classmates did) we included family. This was an intense program which turned our lives upside down affecting all of our family. I chose my oldest son and my first preceptor that I worked solely with for 2 semesters.
My graduation was 2 days later after very little sleep. Two of my closest friends flew in and we stayed up late having fun and catching up. Following the graduation was a great party at my house with friends and family. Children were everywhere...inside, outside, in the hottub. My two closest friends who flew in left yesterday. I miss them already.
Now it's on to planning our trip to Europe!!!!
And I'm a nurse with a graduate degree now.
