I also have a music degree, I am a flutist. I play and conduct a local group. So I play in my free time. I'm also do a lot of crafts.

So much easier than UWORLD, I had such a random assortment of questions and NO MATH! Shut off at 75, was sure I failed, but my license posted this morning so I passed!

June 2nd! Doing uworld in sets of 75. Also Saunders and LaCharity edit to add: I did ATI live review through my school as well

I know EXACTLY what you were talking about in your original post. We have the same system. It's like giant red boxes that fill your screen, you feel like you've failed. I have no advice though, I've just been doing QMA training to prepare me for when I get my RN and start working the system in a couple months. I can say, that a lot of it depends on when how med times are sorted. It's so frustrating when some one has meds ordered at multiple times and as soon as you give one med, the time flips over and they have more due.

The only thing I regret was not making the change sooner. I'm much happier working in this field and the benefits (see next answer) make it even more worth it. I was a musician that also was a music teacher. I love the performance aspect of my field, but was never happy teaching. I taught because I wasn't a good enough musician to make a solid career and teaching was the next best thing to keep a roof over my head and food on the table. My now husband is also a music teacher, but he loves it. Music teaching jobs are hard enough to come by, let alone 2 in the same area. It just made more sense for us as a family for one of us to do something else. I love that he can seek out the positions he wants and no matter where that job takes us there is something for me. We moved 3 hours away for his first job, but it was so easy for me to start right back up with prereqs and I was accepted into a nursing school just after a year of our move. No, I think being married to someone that stayed in that old life helps a lot. I feel like I have enough of a piece left that I never left, but still a reminder as to why I had to leave. It's not so easy in our current location and with my schedule now, but in the past I've been able to participate in community bands. At some point my husband and I would love to find the other 3/5 to form a woodwind quintet. We almost did, but we lost a oboe and a french horn to the army bands.

I wish I could have ALL my books in ebook. I love it. But it's definitely a personal preference. The only advice I have, and not knowing what your package entails, is that where you get ebooks MATTERS. I started out with Kindle books through Amazon and fortunately they took returns on them because the format was awful. All my nursing books are through http://www.kno.com and they are page for page like the real books. If I'm in class, I can turn to the same page the instructor give outs, which was not the case with the Kindle format for my particular texts. Problem easily solved if she has a backup device or can easily replace the tablet/computer. Ebooks are attached to account, not a device. I pull up my kno books on my tablet, laptop, and chromebook and I only had to make one purchase.

Does anyone know how many spots Lafayette has for ASN? Patiently awaiting a letter, only place I applied. I have all As and my adjusted TEAS V was a 90.
