How many you are planning on quitting your current job should you get into CEP or even ADN? Do you guys gave a game plan as to how you're going to support yourselves?
I've been in severe debt before and I'm not going back.

My husband and I have been working towards me quitting my job. We have paid off all of our debt and set up a small savings for books and uniforms and we have been practicing living on one income. We’ve been preparing for a few years

I do home health so it’s flexible. I’m dropping down to part time if I get in. I don’t plan on working at all starting the 3rd or 4th semester.

I have been at home for the past few years, but I am worried a bit because I do a lot of cooking at home to help our bottom line...and when I get in to the program I am not sure how much cooking I will be able to do. Any tips you all might have are appreciated.

Montes Elizabeth, Forbes Allan , Gray Emmanuel, and “ No reply.” Is anyone getting pissed off with these senders? I was actually expecting something from Steve today!

Does anyone have an idea of what the extra CEP classes are like? What time of day they’re usually done? Are some online? How many times a week? It seems you only take one extra 3 unit class a semester for the CEP which isn’t outrageous. Just curious if anyone knows anyone who’s gone through it or have an opinion on it.

Same! I Cook as much from scratch as possible and try to grow my own food too! Meal prep is essential. Also taught my husband to cook so he could help out

I honestly am not going to hold my breath until Halloween. Too many emotional games ?

I'm thinking tentatively right now but does anyone know if you can skip the intercession in the summer/winter and take it later? I'm planning to go to Tokyo Olympics with some friends next year and I'd really hate to be rejected to go cause of school.

I really doubt it. I was told to plan on not taking vacations or extended lenths of time away becaues it was nearly impossible to make up the material. They would only consider it if it was an emergency. I would talk to someone in the office though to confirm.

So for sure end of this month, right? Trick or treat us with an acceptance or rejection?
