ACT III We came, 20 strong, eager yet hesitant. That first year we learned a lot and forgot much. Our first cats, our first bed, our first enema, our first injection — a whole year of “firsts.” Our junior year flew by — system by system. We received our stripe and ordered our capes. O.B. was gone in a flash, with dim memories of endless contractions and beautiful, screaming babies. Then we began our final year with Cincinnati. And no one will ever, ever be able to forget Peds. Then came Psych, and we knew the end was near. And now, as we face our final year and graduation day with excitement and State Boards with dread, we say good luck to each other for this one last dream — to accomplish our goal and take our separate places in the field of nursing. 22
