So it feels weird NOT having new notes to print out after a test!! Im on to the FCCA and CPNE next! Hoping to be done with both by beginning of August. Is this a reasonable timeline to be finished?

Also how bad is the FCCA? What materials do I need? I try not to get ahead of myself so I am new to info on both. Thanks for any info!!

I didnt wait for the email- I just called and they saw I was eligible- guess it didnt update yet. Trying to make it by end of summer!! I need my life back! My family misses their mom!! lol

Great idea, maybe I will do this on Monday afternoon.... I don't think it took too long for my last CLEP to show up on there... I just am getting so antsy! I know my advisor is keeping an eye out for me though, she's been awesome.

Do you guys still get anything from the on track coach? I get emails once in a while, kinda random.

It's a coach that EC provides you with to call you and make sure you are on the right track to get to your goal. They follow you the first 6 months I believe. The first one I had called me all the time, giving me tips on how to study, how to get over test anxiety, etc.... and then she left or something cause now there is a guy who sends me random e-mails every so often.

I am not a fan of my advisor. She is the antithesis of helpful and seems not to care.

They didn't have those back when I started the program. That sounds pretty awesome though.

Thats not good :-( Maybe call and see if you can get switched to someone else? My advisor is the best, I am so happy I have her, she is so encouraging and she writes me little notes to see how I'm doing and where I am at... and always takes the time to answer my questions... and believe me I have a ton LOL. In a program like this one I think having an advisor you trust is super important, I bet they will work with you if you call and tell them you are unhappy.

I enrolled in January so maybe it's something new? I dunno.

Here's the last e-mail I got, from a few days ago

Subject: How do you eat an elephant?

Answer: one bite at a time.

Sometimes it is overwhelming to look at the big picture. Today, focus on the small parts that make up that big picture. If the big picture is getting your RN, the small piece that matters today is making time to sit down with your books--even if you only have 15 minutes.

What's stopping you?

Kinda goofy.... but motivating I guess?

It used to be Erin but she left I guess so now it's Paul.

How was the lecture today?

Do they give you a form to fill out with all of the vaccine records dslpninla? I think I am just going to have titers drawn for everything, because I have no idea how to access my childhood records. What is the infection control packet?
