I'm so sorry Carole. I guess we have to learn from our mistakes. I'm a new grad too at a job with minimal training and I too am learning as I go. So, I understand your frustration when you make a mistake that seems like you have your patients best...

HannaBee... Did they say what happened to the letter??? OMG What is going on with the mail over there? If it goes out you should be getting it within the week. My letter took 3 days. I hope you get it this week. The waiting is absolute torchure ...

HannaBee.. dont worry. just give them another call because they said your letter was mailed before mine and i'm further. it doesn't make any sense. this has to be the most frustrating thing!

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad i'm not the only one who's anxiety is getting to them. here in CA we can only wait for our results in the mail. It's been 6 weeks and nothing. I'm going crazy. I got 85 questions... I don't know if that's...

Hi, i just graduated last december. It was very difficult but well worth it. You'll be surprised how fast a year goes by. Especially if you are going to be so busy. You'll also be in a better place afterwards. I was able to do it with my baby, ...
Sounds normal. My class started off with 55 ended at 31. It is a pretty intense program. I really think that's how it goes. Just soak everything in and be the sponge. Hang in there and you'll get through it.
