This evening, I received my first stethoscope. It feels almost like a rite of passage. Our instructor is entrusting us to use them properly and with care. To assure understanding and compassion to our patients.

This evening, I received my first stethoscope. I got to choose the color. I went for a rustic color. A color that symbolizes my journey- not only in nursing, but in life as well. My rustic horseshoe life.

This evening, I received my first stethoscope. I can’t wait to hear how many heart beats this tool will hear and the last heart beats here on earth.

This evening, I received my first stethoscope; and it is much more than a stethoscope. It’s a symbol of where I have been and where I am going.

Ps… don’t mind the awful lighting, just look how excited we are!
