I went to my appointment at Front Range, and I'm bouyed again. This counselor was really helpful and encouraging. So, the basic plan is to get all my pre-reqs out of the way during the 10 week summer session, then do a lot of Bio and other classes to work towards a paramedic certificate while I'm waiting to be called up for the nursing program. Great idea.

She said recruiters from hospitals are begging nursing students who are still a semester and a half away from graduating to "sign on" with them, at about 52K a year. I came home and sat down with Mark and talked about it, and he's really encouraging me to go, laying out financial plans that prove it's feasible. So now I sit back and wait for my financial aid award. Should be about another 3 weeks before I hear about that. The counselor today said it should be no question that I will get a full ride, plus books. I register April 17, and I have to test out of the Pre Algebra pre-req before then, or that puts me back a whole semester. Classes begin this here at home this evening...naked. Hee. Away we go........

Daniel is at a Sneak Preview of "Holes" with Cindi, and Katie is at work. It's quiet around here. Maybe I'll wrap Emma's birthday presents.
