I sure hope you get paid by the hour! :uhoh21:

(I hate salaried jobs that work you to death!)

I am hourly :) and the practice has been really wonderful to me!

They started me out with longer appointment times to keep me from being overwhelmed and let me tell them when I was ready for more. They have been very careful not to dump on me - I have heard horror stories from classmates who are working other places. I am very happy where I am!

Well I sure am glad to see that everyone has survived the first week of school. For some reason I stopped getting the e-mails that said there were new posts in the thread so I didn't check until today and had several pages of new thread to read.

Jaxia,

YAHH! 2 less days to wait for our results! I wonder why they are doing it different...did you happen to know what the occassion is?

Jaxia,

Regarding what you said about UTA and TWU. I do plan on completing (after BSN) a Master's program to become a CRNA. I recently learned that some of the CRNA programs will only accept students who have graduated from a NLNAC accredited BSN program. UTA is NLNAC accredited but TWU is not; neither is U of Wyoming. On TWU's site it says they are NLNAC accredited but on the NLNAC site they are NOT LISTED. BSN programs that are accredited are accredited by either NLNAC (NLN) or CCNE. Most are CCNE accredited but not all CRNA schools accept CCNE accreditation, but ALL CRNA programs accept NLNAC accreditation. So that being said, I want a BSN that is NLNAC accredited so that I can apply to ANY CRNA program that I choose. Plus, I only live 20 min. from UTA and you can complete their RN-BSN (full time) by taking classes 1 day per week for 2 semesters. I do plan on my future employer helping with the RN-BSN costs as well.

Before I knew about the accreditation issue I wanted to find an online RN-BSN program. But when I started searching after I found out the info. I only found a few programs and they are MUCH more expensive than UTA and also take longer to complete so that's why I decided to look into UTA again.

gauge14iv, glad you get paid by the hour & that things are working out well. :)

I've been reading & filling out answers to the Fundamentals Study Guide questions. I hope it will help things to soak into my brain!

I can't even remember if I had already posted that I was doing that. SO, if I have, please understand.......................

I LOVE the crazy face!!! Yup that pretty much describes how I felt during much of nursing school! Take it one hour, one day, one week and one semester at a time - keep marching and you CAN do this!

lol..

Yeah, for now it's because it's all new. In a few weeks it'll be because I'm studying for the first test. Then it will be because I'm completely overwhelmed. :chuckle

Friday I said, "Well, we made it through the first week of nursing school." One week, so little time, but such a big accomplishment. :rotfl:

well if there is ever anything I can do to help you all - feel free to holler!
