Let me know what they tell u about dates. I am still waiting for my date. Been 6 weeks since I applied and I am getting anxious.

No response back from Steph. Its been a few days, normally she gets back to me by the end of the day. So, I'm still waiting too. I've been waiting for about 5-6 weeks.

So sorry to hear about your dog I have a dog too and he is my first dog ever....great dog too...It's so sad when they are sick and can't really tell you what's wrong. I hope he will be OK. I did get a date of 8/24-26th in Syracuse....got it today. Both excited and ready to puke! Started Sheri's workshop online yesterday and just printed the study guide..I LOVE her study guide...so much easier to digest than EC's HUGE one.

I'll keep your baby in my prayers!:redbeathe

Well my baby has NO CANCER.....whew, found out yesterday! Close one there! It was just a spleenic infarct (spleen congestion and hemmorage in the lab work terms)....but he's good, staples are out and I am now cool, calm and collected! Congrats on your date.....I am hoping to get mine soon so I can FOCUS......I am lacking focus right now by not having a date.....when I get it though, I'll be in full force study mode.

I know....it's hard to focus without that deadline written in stone. Glad to hear NO CANCER!!! Whew is right!! Hope you get a date soon, if not maybe think about NY??

Did u ever hear back from Stephanie? I'm so anxious to get my date. And I'm like u I think I will be more focused when I get date. I'm taking a online excelsior workshop now. Just wrapped up micro last week thank god that is out of way.

BostonNurse....don't u just get a packet in mail?

Nervous1 · May 14, 2012

I have not heard back from her yet. Hopefully today.

Nervous 1-----Did you ever get reply? My reply was that they would be sending out confirmation packets for July/August soon. That was last Tuesday. My son was in the hospital so I had not been online until today.

Well I was forced to take a 2 week hiatus from study and anything related to Excelsior. An extremely sick dog who ended up having a spleen removal last week and waiting to find out if he has the "silent killer" cancer has been torture. But I decided today that I needed to get back on track plus he is home and doing well, just waiting on path results. He is my only "child" and I am overly attached to him.
I have about 5 careplans to do for ST's workshop that have been laying in my inbox. I had hoped to test the last week in May but looks like that won't happen. I emailed SPAC this morning to see if they have any cancellations for June/July. My renewal fee is due in July and I already plan to continue on to my BSN so I will have to pay the fee anyway.
Time to get back on track. My Mnemonics are coming along, I try to write a few of them out daily but I have slacked off a bit lately. Now I am trying to get caught up on posts here and on the EC board.

Just that there was no available cancellations for June/July at Grady. Letme know when u hear something, I hope I'm I that group, I really need my date.

SWilson213 · May 22, 2012

I completely understand and want mine too. I just wish it would hurry up. Not necessarily the actual date, I just want to know when so i can plan my summer. This week will be 8 weeks since I sent in my stuff.

Nervous1 · May 22, 2012

I know the feeling. I'm going to Sheri's workshop June 8th and would like to have a date before I go because I can focus on getting this behind me. All I have been doing is careplans and writing my mnemonics, more really on care plans. I think the AOC's I can do pretty easily, you will have your mnemonics as a checklist for those.
