The decisions for the RN to BSN program at my UCF have been pushed back until OCTOBER. It has something to do with the deadline adjustments this year. “We have always worked to notify students of admission decisions within 4-6 weeks of the application deadline.

Tony Scott, Suicide.
Top Gun is one of my all time favorite movies. Up until a few years ago I had no idea who directed that movie because my 16 or 17 year old brain didn’t care about such details. This is truly sad. Apparently he committed suicide this past Sunday. He was a jumper. Messed up, …

I still haven’t found a job in nursing. I’m not giving up yet but it is a bit disheartening still to not have a job. I’ve been turned down for at least 15-20 jobs and have heard nothing from any GN residency programs from any of the hospitals to which I have applied. Who are …
