Just read your post..wanted to say hi and welcome:balloons: I am currently a nursing student so I can't offer much in the way of job advice sorry.Maybe someone else will see your post that can help you with that. I can answer your questions regarding highschools.My son currently attends Palo Verde ( Summerlin area) but he would consider Centennial highscool ( northwest area). What state are you currently living in? Sounds pretty cold there. Hope your husband has a Happy Birthday! :biggringi ..and he is able to find a house that all of you will enjoy! Best wishes, Twinkie:p

Hi JayRelic, Just wanted to share my thoughts on these locations. Boulder City - yes a commute is possible ... not too far from Vegas. Pahrump - 1.5 hr.-2hr. The commute can be dangerous at night. 2 lane road most the way. A Hospital is being built in the near future. Primm Nevada 2 hr. or more... California travlers can back up the highway to Vegas and vice versa ..LOL Bullhead City is at least 10 degrees hotter than Vegas it gets very hot in the summer.It's also very close to Laughlin ..right across the river. Still a 2hr. or more commute. Best choice would be Boulder City..it has a nice smaller town feel. There is also Mesquite Nevada 2hr. commute All commute time is for one way. Best wishes, Twinkie

Sounds good! Best wishes in your studies. Twinkie:balloons:

Okay Sonja I am here to help you come up with a solution. Let me see if I have all the facts straight. 1.You have waited 3 long years to be accepted into the Mott Community College. 2.Acceptance letter has been given to you for the Mott (ADN) program. 3.Why are you taking the Net in Nov. but you are already accepted into the program? 4.You start the Mott program in Jan. 5. How long is the Mott ADN program? Will you be done with the first semester by June? 6. Do you know if CCSN will accept the transfer of credits? 7. Have you taken Pharmacology? Will the credit transfer? 8. Is there a major cost difference in schools? 9. Do you have family that you can stay with while you are in the Mott community program? Here is my advice for you.. you have waited a long time to start the program at Mott Community College. So do whatever needs to be done and start the program in Jan! You have worked hard and you deserve to be in the program so don't wait just do it!! Once you get started everything will fall into place. Don't be afraid to take a chance you can do it! Best Wishes, Twinkie

Hi Sonja, Just wanted to say hello and wish you luck Please keep us posted. Best Wishes, Twinkie:)

oops! I sent it to "Hi Woogy" instead of just "Woogy" .. check again thanks. Twinkie

I sent a new message..so please check your mailbox. Thanks, Twinkie

Hi Lisa, :) Your response is correct..once you pick a path you are locked in.I think you made the right choice. Full-time offers a lot more flexability than the part-time. In the Part-Time all classes are at the Cheyenne Campus ..Lectures and labs are only availiable in the evenings and all Clinicals are only on the weekends. These hours are great if you work 9am-5pm and have weekends off. Problem is a majority of the Las Vegas students work in Casino and Hotels that require you to work weekends. Plus you attend classes in the summer when the Full-timers are off. Wish you the best ..please keep me posted. Twinkie

Just wanted to say Hi..and wish you luck :balloons: I am sorry to say that I don't work at Sunrise , but my son was born there in 1990 and I had a minor surgery there - tubal ligation. My experience as a patient was excellent.Hopefully somone can fill you in as far as work enviorment. Keep us posted. Best Wishes, Twinkie :)

Great Link :) Thanks

Hang in there You will get the news you have been waiting for and you will be starting the program in no time. Are you given one choice Full or part- time program or can you do 1st choice 2nd choice and apply for both? Just curious :) Also I took the Critical Thinking class it was requirement then and really enjoyed it.I did not have to take nutrition or the required Nursing course (one credit) although I think you are right ..the (one credit) course is now required. As far as turning 35 that's great I have you beat by 3 years...each year I feel more self confident. Keep me posted Twinkie

My thoughts and prayers are with you :balloons: You Can do it! Twinkie

I know you will get the call :balloons: My thoughts and prayers are with you! Keep us posted :) Twinkie

When do you find out if you are in the program? Have you taken the NLN yet? Are you entering the full or part -time program? Best Wishes, Twinkie
