Hi rnnursetobe,

I haven't recieved anything yet :( . This is really pissing me off. I called my college yesterday and the rude receptionist in the nursing department yelled in my ear, "You'll get it when you recieve it!!!!" and hung up on me. So I e-mailed the head of the nursing department and told her what happened. She definitely does not need to be working in a college if she doesn't have 'people skills" So I hope it comes tomorrow....if I remember correctly when I got accepted last year we only had about 7 days to respond to the acceptance letter.

I am soon to be 27, married with a four 1/2 year old little girl. Nursing school is really hard, but the challenge has been fufilling and I am betting my carreer will be too. I want to work L/D, that is the reason I went into nursing. Had a really crappy experience of my own, but am enthralled with the whole pregnancy/birthing experience. I will graduate in march of 2004 and what a wonderfull, happy day that will be. I never thought I would have a college degree (or so many student loans!). Good luck to all of you.

I'm 31 and will start my first semester of college this fall. I am taking 12 hrs. I have received my financial aid award letter so I'm good to go. I also signed up for a mentor today. The school provides mentors who are either admin. or professors. I could really use someone to help me with all the requirements. I hope I do all I need to do to get into the program.

I'm nervous and excited all at the same time.

Hi Caitlin,

Welcome to the board...:D I am also interested in becoming a Nurse Practitioner. I didn't know there was a such thing as a Neo Natal Nurse Practitioner. Do you know where I can find some info.

Thanks,

Fatima

Hi everyone. I'm 27 years old, married with 4 kids and a dog. My wonderful wife has been pushing me to go back to school for a while now, and so in August (thanks to the GI Bill) I'll be quiting my full time job to go to school full time and working part time.

My plans are to re-enter the Army after I get my degree; and I hope to go into Emergency Nursing there.

Thanks for the welcome Fatima.I'm really not sure how to fnd school in your area that have Neonatal nurse practioners.I knew that I wanted to work in the Neonatal Unit ,and I was planing on getting my maters degree from Duke University and went to their website and they have a Neonatal Nurse practioners program.Here in the link if you want to check it out.http://www.nursing.duke.edu/academics/peds/index.html

Basicly a Neonatal nurse practioners works directly with the neonatoligist and when a RN needs them to do something that they can't usually the practioners can do it for them.Some of them are flight nurses and transport sick babies to a another hospital that has NNICU.

You may want to go to Dukes website and email the nurse that in charge of the program .They have about three or four people that you can email if you have any questions to see if they could help you find a school near you and answer any questions you have.I have talked to one of the nurses through email and she was so helpfull and so nice. You also might want to hop on over to the Neonatal BB and see if there are any practioners that might be able to help.

Good luck on what ever you decided to do ,and I hope this was some help to you.
