Introduction

Published

Hello! I joined about a week ago and having been busy reading everything I possibly can.

I am a married father of 2 doing the Excelsior program in Virginia. I currently work full-time as a Respiratory Care Practitioner. If you haven't heard of our drama, Virginia will not license anyone who isn't graduated

by 12/31/2009. :banghead:

I am under the gun. I have my NC1-5 done. I am scheduled for 6 on 3/31/09 and 7 on 4/18/09.

Still taking my Soc. of Family online. On 4/18, when I pass 7, I will be CPNE eligible.

That scares the crap out of me. LOL anyways, I just wanted to intro myself in case I post every now and then so that you all have some reference for who the heck I am.

You can do it. I know the school will work with anyone under pressure to pass by x date because their state's gone nuts.

Oh, EC grad here, too.
