as infrequently as I do it, I really do love being up early in the morning.

nursing school has started off well. the jitters of being in a new place with new people wore off by the first afternoon of orientation, so today was just the excitement of getting started. wearing a lab coat and name badge. sporting the stethoscope. digging in to some of the basics of patient care. touring the hospital where clinicals will be. basics, but beginnings nonetheless.
