I'll be at NLC too!

Got the email today that they received my confirmation. Can't wait until orientation!!

I'm 35 and this is a career change for me. I've worked the last year as a secretary in a hospital to get my feet wet in healthcare.
Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Longhornteacher - I'm planning on taking micro in the summer too.

Good luck!

Glad to hear from you guys. I also recieved my email today. I am looking forward to orientation so that I will have more information about the structure of the program. I think the first few weeks will be the toughest simply from a logistics standpoint. Im not sure about you guys, but I will continue to work fulltime during the program. I am fortunate in that I work 12 hour shifts, so I have the option to free up the 2 days needed for class and clinicals. But from what I have read the first few weeks are often just a mess with regards to scheduling. Hopefully it wont be as bad as others have made it out to be. But just in case, I am storing up my PTO.
