Creative Writing – Brenda Before

It was a Wednesday night and I had just finished having dinner with my family , I went upstairs to have a shower and go to bed . It was my first week at the hospital being a nurse so , i was making sure to get my full 8 hours . I lay in bed that Wednesday night mainly nervous but a little exited . I woke that Thursday morning at the break of dawn , tired , with my eyes barley opening , I stumbled out of bed and head off to the bathroom . The cold feeling of the clear water refreshed my face , awakening me , When done I went to my room to get changed , Took one last look in the mirror and made my way downstairs for breakfast . Once finished , I said my goodbye’s to my parents then head to the bathroom one last time with 10 minuets to leave the house . I had braces so it was very important i gave my teeth a good brush everyday . With the minty taste in my mouth , I was off to work . My morning started well , everything was going good . Lunchtime came around and my boss asked me to pick up blood , so i picked it up , put it away , and returned to my desk . I got called out to talk to the doctor , I wasn’t sure what it was about but my body shivered with suspense . After the talk with him , I returned to my desk with tears in my eyes and disappointment in my chest . He informed me that i had failed to label the blood bags , although I knew deep down it wasn’t a big deal , it was my first week and i felt as if I were a failure of a nurse . However my mood was quickly changed once meeting a young man named Frank , he was a charming doctor who i chatted away with for a decent amount of time . I went home that night , my mind dreamy , with him on it . I could barley focus at the dinner table , I hadn’t felt this way in a long time . With a smile on my face , I lay in bed on that Thursday night mainly exited but a little nervous and wondered what would come of it .
