    Waiting until the last minute

    Registration for the community college where I plan to take prerequisites is on Nov 16th.  I've been going through the process of applying to the school and getting paper work out of the way.  Since I have a BS I was able to exempt out of taking what is similar to a placement test.  However, today I finally met with an adviser ( you have to meet with one before registering for classes) and found out I can't register for the Anatomy class.  The catalog did state that general biology was a prerequisite for the anatomy class, but made no mention that it has to be within the last seven years.  WHAT??  I took this back in 1993.  Ugh.  So, I can take a biology placement test instead of retaking the actual general biology class.  But, now I only have a week to get this done.  Do I remember enough to just pass it?  I guess I'll have to spend my weekend studying general biology.

    I'm still not even sure if I'll be able to attend classes with my work schedule.  Well, actually I do know that I won't be able to, but I'm going to register just in case things change and I'm able to go.  If not, I'll just drop the classes. I'm looking to take two classes, plus labs and then an online statistics class as well.  I really don't know when I'll have time to study while working full time.  It's not that it can't be done - it's just going to be a lot of work with late nights and early mornings. I'm already having a hard time adjusting to working full time - without any classes.

    He works for a local health clinic. He has to work one (9-12) Saturday a month. They are MUCH happier! He was at the hospital working 12 hour shifts (which are really much longer because he had to get the notes from the nurse before him and then stay later to give notes to the next shift.) But he is now and FNP and is SO much happier. We think he will start in the fall and probably as full time as possible.

    What is your friend doing that he has a 9-5 job in nursing? Just curious. That must have been a rough couple years for them - I know it can be done, it's just not going to be pretty! When is Jerry going back? Will he go full time?

    my friend finished his masters in nursing last spring. he cut down to 3/4 time at the hospital so he wouldn't loose his benefits, had a set of new born twins and a 3 year old at home. i think his wife was less than thrilled because for three years they barely saw each other... BUT he now has an amazing job that is 9-5 and is home more and making a lot more money! jerry is going back to school as well. it is going to be really hard, but it's something that will make life better for him, and in turn, us. you'll be fine!!!
