Just wanted to say "hi" to everyone and introduce myself. I'm a nursing student at Minneapolis Community and Technical College (MCTC) and I will be starting the nursing program on January 16. I've finished almost all of my gen ed's except microbiology (plan on taking it in the summer). I'm excited about finally starting in the program. After completion of the RN progrma there I will only have earned the ASN degree so I hope to transfer to the University of Minnesota to complete the BSN. I also hope to complete a MSN with the U of M to specialize as a Nurse Anesthetist.:D We'll see about that though! It's expensive enough just getting the MSN.

Hi, cassandra! Nice to meet you. Having gotten your ASN, you can work while going on with the rest of your studies. Keep us posted on the ups and downs of class, ok?

I was just up in Grand Marais a year or so ago: though my DH was born 'down here', his folks used to have a resort up there.

Hope to see many more of your posts!
