Thanks for replying back! I am actually looking at frontier for my schooling :-)

Alrighty, so I have been now doing L and D for 2 years and have found it to be my calling. Originally I thought I would be med-surg certified by now, but holy crap after 5 years I have finally realized what I want to do :) And never in a million year...
