Found it! Do a search for groups with the criteria "Frontier 121" :)

I have to fly, coming from the West coast...flight times are not great, looks like I will have to stay over in Lexington...

Accepted! See you all in December! Good luck!

No news yet...I think I suffer a mild panic attack each time my email notification goes off! Lol

A response to a query of the Frontier Facebook page said "very very soon!" So maybe tomorrow?:) Here's hoping!

Week seven, hopefully this week?

One week of waiting down...no news yet...

Looks like 120 has heard....We are next!

It seems like it has been forever since I mailed the application! I predict it will be closer to six weeks away from Frontier bound for the FNP class and 7 Weeks for the midwives. I agree with you all about the crazy waiting game! At least we should know by Halloween!

I have applied for 121 FNP. The wait has been very long and I can't believe that it is October! Here's hoping and praying!

I would be leery of any job that made you pay for them to train you. A few years back I was hired into a level 1 trauma training program that paid you for your classroom and clinical time, (which meant you had the job, who's gonna train someone and then not hire them????) and the hospital had a hiring bonus. I would find a place that wants you to work for them, not have you pay for the privilage to work there.....:stone

ER folks are always up for a practical joke....The fallopian tube one was new to me though... We had a trauma surgeon once that would always leave his keys laying around the ER and then run in looking for them after he had done his rounds. One night the tech decided to "cast" his keys, he put them into a ball of wrapped plaster and let it harden. We drew a little happy face on it and set it on the counter and waited. he showed up about 2 hours later wanting to know if anyone had seen his keys. We all stopped what we were doing and looked at the rock hard blob on the counter....The look on his face was priceless... he had to get the saw out to get to his keys.... At my new hospital the doc loves to play jokes, I am just waiting for him to leave his car keys somewhere.....

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! 2nd time was the charm you big RN you.....I am very happy to hear that you passed on your second time, give yourself a pat on the back for going through that awful experience twice..... (taking the test I mean) :balloons: :rotfl: Yay!!

It is scary to think that there are nurses out there that feel that new grads are idiots and do not belong in specialties (see eating our young thread:o ).... I agree that the new grad is usually more willing to ask a question rather than the seasoned nurse. That question could save a life, especially in the NICU where even the smallest intervention, like the trendelenberg no no, can be deadly. I certainly would not want any nurse with that opinion as a preceptor...Ruthie

What is it with confused little old men and the O2 sat probe? I had one ask the respiratory therapist (we were both at the bedside) "What would happen if you stuck that on my D***?" The repiratory therapist calmly replied "Well, I would have to wash it a whole bunch of times!" We got a good laugh out of that at the nurses station.
