    I just the "call" myself... it was in the form of a letter though! I received the *good news* Christmas Eve. I know exactly what your talking about! My school runs things the same way as yours & I thought all spots had been filled. I'd registered for my two remaining classroom-based classes & also knew I was a shoe-in for fall. But, when I got that letter... believe me... I did the happy dance & I'll be starting my clinicals January 13th!! You go girl... you'll be done an entire 16 weeks sooner this way! HA... we both will.... YEAH!!

    BTW, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    Thank you everyone, for your kind replies!!!

    My main hesitation was based on finances and childcare. We are building a house, and me attending clinical courses would mean that hubby would work less hours...producing less money to finish the house...kwim?? (We're basically self-employed.)

    Anyway......hubby came up with an excellent solution for childcare and he insisted that I do whatever would make me happy. He said we'd work everything out somehow..... What a great guy!

    Sooooo........I got my little butt into the advisor's office on Friday morning, signed all the papers and registered for the 1st semester clinical course. WOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

    Oh, yes, AND... I bought my fundamentals book, and got the first reading assignment that is due on day one. LOL :roll :roll :roll

    The fun begins...............
