Congrats!!!!

Congrats!!!!

No we wont be able to carpool , but yeah we will be a part of the same group, but if I read the catalog correctly we will be separated to our individual specialties at some point during the Bound. Are you going to be driving? I am driving, and I will be staying in a hotel 15 miles from the school on Sunday evening, that way I wont be so tired on Monday!

No...I am doing the CFNP

I received my notification just a few minutes ago....I'm IN!!! Anyone else get theirs??? :)

I will keep my fingers crossed!

I am sorry to hear that you got waitlisted. (That is my fear for 117). But I would not give up. I believe a spot will open up for you. I would keep in contact with the school to determine if a spot has opened, because I believe that being waitlisted also means that you can attend the next class cycle. Chin up, and good luck!

I wish to edit my post...hopefully this works this time. I am listing the link to the website which this article came from. Angels of Death - Nurses, nurses who kill their patients — The Malignant Hero — Crime Library on truTV.com

Sux causes respiratory depression which in turn causes anoxia.

The Malignant Hero Every parent's worst nightmare is entrusting his or her child into the care of a person who intends it harm. Few people would ever suspect that someone who enters the healing profession and swears on the nurse's oath would rather see children die than be healthy. It took a lengthy investigation, breaking through walls of professional denial, and the near-destruction of a doctor's career before the truth about this malicious caregiver was discovered. In 1982, Dr. Kathleen Holland opened a pediatrics clinic in Kerrville, Texas. Needing help, she hired a licensed vocational nurse named Genene Ann Jones, who had recently resigned from the Bexar County Medical Center Hospital. Many parents were happy to have this clinic available, but during a period of two months that first summer, seven different children succumbed to seizures while in Holland's office. She transferred them by ambulance for treatment at Sid Peterson Hospital, never thinking the seizures were suspicious. However, from the sheer numbers of children afflicted, the hospital staff thought something odd must be going on. They questioned Holland and she assured everyone that she was at a total loss as to why these children were suffering at her clinic. At least they'd all recovered. But then one of them, 15-month-old Chelsea McClellan, died while en route from the clinic to the hospital. Dr. Holland was devastated, as were Chelsea's parents. The child had not even been very ill. Genene Jones 1968 Soon afterward, Genene Jones assured Dr. Holland that she had found a bottle of succinylcholine, a powerful muscle relaxant, that had been reported missing three weeks earlier. Holland saw that the cap was missing and the rubber top punctured with needle marks, so she dismissed Jones from her employ. She was later to learn that the near-full bottle had been filled with saline. In other words, someone had been using this dangerous drug, which paralyzed people into a sort of hell on earth: they lay inert but aware and unable to get anyone's attention. In February 1983, a grand jury was convened to look into 47 suspicious deaths of children at Bexar County Medical Center Hospital that had occurred over a period of four years-the time when Genene Jones had been a nurse there. A second grand jury organized hearings on the children from Holland's clinic. The body of Chelsea McClellan was exhumed and her tissues tested; her death appeared to have been caused by an injection of the muscle relaxant. Jones was questioned by both grand juries, and, along with Holland, was named by Chelsea's parents in a wrongful death suit. The grand jury indicted Jones on two counts of murder, and several charges of injury to six other children. The various facilities where she had worked were appalled.

Class 117!

You are right! Original deadline was May 6th!

I always wondered why they do that? But you are right, sounds like a good thing!

I have an app on my cell phone for a countdown until 6 weeks prior to FB...according to that app we have 73 days! Yeah...I have to prepare for disappointment as well...I just received the approval for vacation time for FB so If I do not get in will be a nice summer vacation!

Have officially chewed all of my nails off! Ugh, so nerved! You?

I believe so too...somewhere in the back of my mind is the constant thought that these criminals are in the system for a reason, and that is not because they are smart...its because they were caught breaking the law...CO's are there to keep peace and to ensure the safety of not only the inmates but other staff as well...this does not give me any confidence whatsoever that my safety is provided for in the very least...

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/04/25/gang-leader-impregnates-4-maryland-prison-guards-authorities-say/ Why would someone even think of doing something like this! Still sitting in shock...can't even begin to think about how to respond to this!

Oh wow...not too far!

Oh I will...when you take a whole year to make a decision as big as this one nothing and no one can shake my resolve!

I think this is going to be an interesting wait..I do not think that I have ever heard of having to prepare for school before you even find out if you get in in the first place! hee hee Do you mind if I ask where you will be coming from RN2FNP2B? Me...Western New York!

Going to stay positive....and will still keep my fingers crossed nonetheless!!!

I just applied to Class 117...already biting my nails to the quick!
