Well, the first night went very well. No real drama. Everyone was very nice. There's something different about the way nurses treat a new nurse they know they will have to work with for the next couple years versus the nursing student that will only be on the floor for a couple weeks! While I like that part I still feel very much like a nursing student!!!!!! Came home, went right to bed. Slept for almost 5 hours. Wish it had been more but I was all slept out at that point. Woke up to the air raid/emergency siren going off. That's a starting and disorienting was to wake up from your first daytime sleep effort. Apparently the test is the first Wed of the month but I was considering whether I was going to have to get out hubby's arsenal to defend the homestead! I feel a little like I just got off an airplane after flying to China. What's a little anxiety producing is knowing that in the next 48 hours I'm going to fly back to the U.S. and then head back to China again. I like China a lot but that's a lot of traveling!!!!!
I'm glad you posted! I keep looking at the clock, adding three hours, then figuring out where you might be. Prayed for you before I went to sleep last night. Glad it's going well and was drama-free the first night.
