The Nutty Brunette is going to be a nurse!

I have very exciting news! I found a school that has an lpn program that fits the things that I need, and guess what? The program starts June 9th! It's not official, but Friday I am meeting an Admissions person for a tour and to learn more about the program and the costs. I have an upper hand too because I was an Admissions rep at Everest University, so I know when they are feeding me bull crackers.

Just think, by next summer I could be working as a nurse!

The program is mostly 4 days a week from 7:30am to 3:30pm and 30% of the one year programs Friday's are off. This means that I can still continue to work full time. If I do start in June then I need to look for another job because I need the 3 day 12 hour overnight shift for the weekends. I've already let my employer know that I need that shift before this summer, but there is another girl who wants the same position.

I also have some more news, I haven't had a cigarette in a week in a half. Do you know how much money I've saved in that time? 80 bucks.. 3hat equates to 320 dollars a month!
