What if . . .?

Even when I'm sure that I love what I do and I know that it is the right path for me, I still have doubts sometimes-- not that I love it, but that I am somehow allowed to do it!
This is a doodle that crept up on me over my break from clinicals and classes at the end of the summer.

Nightmares

I did these crude doodles the day before my first clinicals to calm myself down a little bit. Only some of my fears came true. And it wasn't so bad-- my first few days were in a nursing home, and after that in a hospital. I'm happy to report that the nurses I was working with all seemed to remember well what it's like to be a new nursing student-- an experience not shared by all of my classmates. Most important lessons so far? A little bit of respect and a willingness to do scutwork go a long way.

This comic is a retelling of trials and tribulations past (or, before nursing school, when I had time to do things like drive to Tucson!)

Welcome to Nursosaurus, and get ready for some nurse comics to come.
