Here I sit in a nearly empty and clean room. The bags are packed and only 23 hours stand between me heading out of Rochester. I'll have an ending post or two with some final thoughts, but right now I'm feeling sentimental so I'd like to make a few shout outs and thank you's.

Thank you the people who organized the program! It was excellently planned and executed. They made the transition to Rochester very easy.

Thanks to Crossroads College who let us stay in their townhomes. This made the experience so much easier without having to worry about finding an apartment.

Thank you to my nurse manager and nursing education specialist who allowed me to work on their floor and were supportive, encouraging, and helpful.

Shout out to my roommates! It still amazes me how 7 girls who are completely different and have never met each other can live together with very little conflict for 10 weeks. I'm excited to see where your nursing careers take you!

Shout out to Fr4C! It has been a privilege to work on such an amazing floor where everyone is so helpful and fun. I'm afraid that I'll be disappointed with other floors I work on because Fr4C is an amazing place to work.

To the other Summer III's! Thank you for all of the conversations, trading patient stories, and fun times. There are going to be some great nurses coming out of this bunch. Good luck senior year!

Thank you to the Recharge group from Autumn Ridge Church! You guys were so welcoming from the very beginning. I loved getting to know you and having some great discussions. I've had a really hard time finding a small group at school, so becoming connected so easily this summer was a blessing. I'll miss you!

To those who have kept reading this silly blog. Thanks for all of the encouraging words. It was a lot of fun :)

Finally, thank you to my clinical coaches, Frosty and McFlurry. You both made my summer an unforgettable experience. I loved learning from you. Thanks for answering all of my silly questions and letting me fumble my way through. I've gained so much confidence by working with you. I'll miss you!
