Geez. these just keep getting better!

Hmmm, I've been a grocery bagger, a teller, a loan officer, a secretary/receptionist, a military wife (followed him to Germany for awhile), an assistant teacher, a checker, and a pricing manager (in that order). Most of time I was also a full time student. Sheesh...I've been in school a long time. What a fun thread!

I'll be 28 1/2 by the time I graduate next December ('08). Shoulda, coulda, woulda... Doesn't sound old to me, but I want to start a family soon (and all the other things that go along with it!) so I'm fighting with how long I should work before doing that. Geez, I haven't even started school yet and I'm already worried about planning for a family!

Are you only looking in the Ohio area? California has several schools with that type of degree plan. Check the state schools.

Maximus, I, too, have several W's on my transcript for various reasons over the last 9 years, all of which were replaced with A's. My overall GPA is very good and I scored high on the NET. So, evidently the ABSN program I have been accepted to doesn't seem to mind the W's! I would call the admissons counselor at the school you want to apply to and ask, just to be safe. Good luck to you!

How can this be? I live in Sacramento and hear all the time how EVERY hospital around here is in need of nurses. There are new hospitals opening in the area soon (Roseville-Kaiser for example) that must need nurses. Has anyone here tried looking further south for jobs (such as Stockton, Lodi, Merced, etc.)? Also Sutter Davis hospital seems to always be hiring (and I believe they have a new grad program). Wow...this thread may be the saddest I have read yet! I will start NS in January and had hoped to work in this region when I graduate in December.

congrats wishingtobe!!!:balloons::biggringi

Thanks Jakob! Yeah, I almost miss that class :) God luck on finishing up your pre-reqs. Oh yeah, and have fun in o-chem. I dropped out of my class when I got accepted to SMC.

OMG! This may be the funniest thread I have ever read :) Please keep 'em coming!

Just thought I would start a thread for those of us that have been accepted to the ABSN program that starts in January. I would love to meet a few of my new fellow classmates! ~Krista

I got my call this afternoon too...I got into the ABSN program for Sac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:monkeydance::monkeydance::monkeydance::monkeydance: I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my chest!

Me three!!! I'm taking Organic chemistry now just in case I don't get into the school I really want to go to. I have the HARDEST time getting any studying done for that class because I'm constantly checking my email or chasing down the postlady. (I think she thinks I'm pretty crazy at this point.) I heard yesterday that decisions will be out in the next two weeks... THe other three schools I've applied won't tell me anything until November. Arrrggg.

:cheers:Congrats to you and your friend!!! It's great to hear some decisions are finally out from there...I'm still waiting:uhoh3: Congrats again!!!!

I took ethics, as well for my humanities course. (And, I also had a bit of an egomaniac as a teacher.) I took the course several years ago but I remember thoroughly enjoying the material. Good luck to you!
