pendragon1980 Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 But this is such exciting news for me I had to share. As some of you know, I applied last year for the nursing program at the college near by home. Well, today I got the acceptence letter. I can't wait you the relief I've felt knowing that I start the actual nursing clinicals in the fall. I've been going through some major angst in my life and getting into this program is a BIG step in the direction I want to be heading. It also means in less than a year, since I've been taking most of the non-nursing credits in the meantime, I'll be an RN. The downside of this is it may seriously cut into my Hazzard time. But rest assured, Doc is staying in Hazzard. She has found her home, friends she cares about and her place in this world. She isnt going anywhere. I found Hazzard at a time in my life I was very depressed and the people in here helped life me from that and get me started on my way back. Brian, MaryAnne, Jax, Val, Daney, Essy, Hil, Riddick, Vicki, you may never know the impact you made on this author's life and how you influenced the creation of a character that even surprises me, her author. I want to take this oppurtunity to thank you for your kindness, friendship and the wonderful stories you have created. Truly Yours, PendragonAuthor of Chance "Doc" WalkerHazzardite for Life Quote
MaryAnne Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Woo!! Congrats, Pendragon! No doubt you've been bustin' butt to get to where you wanna go and it's great to see it's starting to pay off. I'm also glad to know that Hazzard has, and will continue to provide, a playground for the good doctor. That means a lot to me, not so much as an author but as somebody who wants to make sure this lil' county is kept active and available to folks out there. Whether they've been here for 8 years, or 8 months, or just moved in, it'll always be a place that folks can call home. Lisa Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted January 31, 2004 Report Posted January 31, 2004 Pendragon, that's terrific news!!Your hard work is payin' off. I know you've got more hard work ahead of you, but all of us here will be rootin' for ya. Meantime, you know that whenever you need to come up for air and goof around...Hazzard will always be here. Con-graaad-u-lations! Brian Quote
Valerie Strate Posted February 1, 2004 Report Posted February 1, 2004 Pendragon, Congradulations to you! I'm very very happy for you. It's always great to hear about someone suceeding in life. I know what you've been through with the downs. Heck, I'm sure most writters here do. But to hear about a fellow writer's personal success, and to know that yourself and the 'community' had a part in helping them emotionaly, is truly beautiful.I wish you all the luck in the world, Pendragon. You've been and will be a great friend. Thank you.MarieVal's author. Quote
Riddick Posted February 2, 2004 Report Posted February 2, 2004 Congrats to ya! Good lukc in the future. Quote
LittleRedVicki Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 Congrats Pendragon! Just think in a few months, you'll be a nurse like me. And you'll enjoy it too! Wouldn't it be something to have 2 nurses running around Hazzard?? Just a thought...I am so proud of you for accomplishing your dreams. I hope that you do well as a nurse too. If ya ever want to talk about it, you know where to find me.Talk to ya soon! Take Care!Vicki and her author Vicki. LOL! Quote
pendragon1980 Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Posted August 26, 2004 Well, I'm here. I made it. First day of nursing school.And I don't know why they call it orientation, cause my head is still spinning. I just wanted everyone to know that, because of school, my posts and time on AOL may be fewer and farther between. I always say "Real life prevails" and for the next couple of years, I think its going to prevail in a big way. Don't get me wrong. Doc is still around. Just she and I can't be as active as we were before. I still plan on continueing the RR and stories I'm involved in. You just may have to give me a nudge via email if I'm cued and don't response for a few days. I love Hazzard It's become a second home for a part of me and the friend and memories I made here will always be cherished. But, for now, this M.D. may be a little M.I.A.Sincerely, Pendragon Quote

LittleRedVicki Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Good luck, Pendragon! I know that it is a lot of learning, but you'll have fun with it! It was a lot of fun for me when I went to nursing school last year! Quote
Val Strate Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 Good luck Doc! I totally understand your situtation. Hang tough, and you'll make it back no problem. Take care and good luck on those exams.ValPS You'll always be apart of the Hazzard Sorority! Quote
pendragon1980 Posted December 18, 2004 Author Report Posted December 18, 2004 I gotta do a little bragging here. I've happy to announce I not only survived my first semester of nursing school but came away from it with an A and an excellent clinical evaluation. One semester down, three to go. Now excuse me while I go sleep for the next three days. Pendragon Quote
MaryAnne Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 YEEEHAAA!! Great job Pendragon! Quote
DaneyDuke Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 Alright, Pendragon! =) Very cool news. Thank you for sharing. Quote
Eddiemunster Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 Hard work pays off, doesn't it? Keep it up and keep a positive attitude!!! Quote
pendragon1980 Posted May 12, 2005 Author Report Posted May 12, 2005 Well, its offical. I an now halfway through my nursing program. Passed with somewhat flying colors. Doesn't seem that long ago I first posted this thread, does it?I have heard that last semester is the hardest of the program, and I believe it now. But I'm through and I think (and hope) by this time next year, I'll be thinking about state boards and becoming an "RN" to my name. Now for a three month break, I think I'll be sleeping the first week. Pendragon Quote
MaryAnne Posted May 12, 2005 Report Posted May 12, 2005 She's on her way! Good job on making it so far! Quote
pendragon1980 Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Posted December 14, 2005 B+!! 8) 8) 3 semesters down, one to go. I'm particulary proud of my grade this semester because I had one of the toughest instructors in the nursing program and came through. Get this, our pinning (nurses's graduation) ceremony may be on my birthday. How cool would that be?! Pendragon Quote
LittleRedVicki Posted December 15, 2005 Report Posted December 15, 2005 Hello all...Congrats, Pendragon! I am proud of you. I now wish that I would have stayed in nursing to become an RN. I decided to pursue another career instead. I talk on the phone for a living now, but I'm NOT a telemarketer! LOL!Congrats again!Take Care!Vicki Quote
