Dear Ninja Scrubs

Today was our last day together.

Its weird and crazy. Its been a long 15 months!
We've done so much together!

We have cared for patients who have passed on.
We have cared for patients as young as 2 hours old and others over 100.
We have been covered in random foreign substances of unknown origins.

In you I have been asked by a 84 year old...and a 4 year old...to be their girlfriend

With you I have felt crummy and scattered and stressed and crazy.
And at the same time I have felt fulfilled, proud, elated and moved.

Its been a crazy ride!!!!

Now I have to decide-do I burn you?
Or....do I frame you so that I never forget?


So that I never forget the patients who touched me.
The patients who changed my life.
The nurses who taught me how to be the nurse I am today

 

The fact that people are going to trust me to not wear these scrubs anymore FREAKS me out just a little.

But its exciting too!  
Finally I'll get scrubs in fun pretty colors.  Scrubs that really fit.  Scrubs with more POCKETS!!!  (this nurse can NEVER have enough pockets)
