I can't count the number of times I've been asked "so and so is going to be 'sick' on wednesday, will you be able to cover?" Please people, switch shifts with people or plan ahead.
Hi everyone, I was accepted today! Anyone else doing the gerontological/adult NP program? I'm so excited - I kinda want to run to the store and start looking at the white shoes. Can't wait to get to know all of you, we're going to have a fun/scary/a...

Haha! I already appreciate it! I love it everytime I get carded at the liquor store (and my friends don't). My mom got carded (seriously, not as part of we id under 99) until she was 39...I'm hoping to beat her!

Every school is a little different. But, this has been my overall experience across 3 different schools. Generally, you don't need to be online at any specific time. We dont have the prof giving a live lecture. 2 classes had almost a manuscript of t...
