LPN to RN bound... 1 step closer!

Ok people my card came in the mail today!! Woot Woot! So application day is MONDAY!!


I Need to spend this weekend getting a little studying done because I have to take the HESI-PN before I can apply. So its going to be an NCLEX review weekend I suppose. But I haven't actually stopped doing questions this whole time, so that is a good thing.

So here's hoping to get into a program come this FALL!!

5 weeks and counting

where the hell is my card?

A Fellow Nurse in Peril

As a fellow AZ nurse it really astounds me the total lack of professional respect that we as nurse's receive from any entity that dares to call themselves a Nursing Association. It is appalling that in this era nurses still have zero support from anyone in their own profession. It seems the public gets protection from us but who gives us protection from them?

What other public service profession receives such little support for its members?

Ms. Trujillo really deserves some support with her case.

Text to Speech Software

Is pretty fun to play around with. I think having your computer tell off your husband is kinda funny!

In other news, it was actually helpful to convert my online lecture to a text to speech recognition software program. I could read it, hear it, and apply it this way.

Sometimes lectures just need to be heard to click. Of course I really think I am not going to like this ethics class very much. Too many discussion board projects.

Some Bullet Points

School- Tomorrow starts Clinical Healthcare Ethics and Human Pathophysiology starts next Monday. I am still enrolled in the Interpreting Arrhythmia course but there are only six people in the class so I have a feeling that it will be cancelled for lack of enrollment. I emailed the professor about it, of course I do not want to pay for the class, and buy the book, which mind you costs more than the class does, if the class is just going to get cancelled.


WLS- I have 1 more scheduled appointment to make 6. I could be having surgery either in March or in June. June if insurance requires me to continue with the visits, because I missed November, March- if the letter I write to them is sufficient. Somehow I really think it'll be June.

RN- still waiting on word from fingerprint card to submit my application.

Work- SNAFU with my paycheck vs vacation time, so I am working on getting that fixed. I should have been getting higher pay in lieu of benefit, thus no vacation time or tuition reimbursement, except I haven't. So either they have to pay me the past years worth of wages at the higher rate, or give me the vacation and sick hours to use, and I can submit reimbursement for my classes to them. So we shall see how that all turns out.

Tabs

So my blog is starting to have a few added features. I have added tabs to the top. They are currently under construction. But as the big changes in my life take place, these tabs will be where to find a topic specific post.

A sense of comfort

I have no idea why but I feel a sense of comfort over being able to pay out of pocket for classes and books.

When I started this process, way back in the day, it feels like it has been forever some days, but anyway, I would never have been able to afford to even think about it.

Of course I still have student loans looming over my head, but eventually I have a plan to get those knocked out.

I will fund my future education ambitions with the fruits of my labors thus far!
