The Last First Day

The last first day…a phrase that seems to contradict itself. But for me, it means so much! Why – you may ask? Well, for those who may not remember – I am in nursing school! This journey started several years ago – January 2012 to be exact. But how does the last first day apply… Continue reading The Last First Day
