[NPInfo] DNP Program - University of Tennessee

I had to take a nap, too.... an impromptu one on the couch where I seem to
fall asleep a lot (think that just goes with the DNP program).... Charlie
Gibson's voice on the 5:30 p.m. news ALWAYS puts me to sleep these days <G>.


If by "BF" you mean boyfriend, I have to admit that I probably have the best
one around. He has stuck by me and been supportive when there was absolutely
nothing in it for him for months <G>. I have promised him my undivided
attention when this is all done (he deserves it!)... or at least for the
interval between the DNP and whatever I do next. 

Sorry to hear about your charm school experience-- but at least you got to
go! I always wanted charm/modeling school (John Robert Powers???) but that
was one of the many dreams I had to abandon as the oldest of 5 kids in a
"poor" ever-mobile military family. Wonder if there is charm school for
middle-aged adults-- or are we too old to learn at this stage in our
lives???

Wow, Dena!  I had to take a nap after reading your post!  :)
And you still have time to be active on the lists.  Do you sleep?  Now I
understand the Starbucks threads!  
That is so neat and I'm so proud of you!  Maybe a better BF awaits after all
this?

Well, after 20 months of working full-time (over 40 hours/wk), changing jobs
mid-stream, moving to a new home, undergoing two training trips to Seattle
for job training, and training for five 1/2 marathons and a full marathon
last year, all while doing this DNP program and maintaining something like a
3.98 GPA, I can attest to the fact that it IS do-able... certainly NOT fun
and definitely NOT easy, but do-able. Of course, I did end up having a
melt-down last year and broke up with my wonderful boyfriend for 3 months
while I screamed that I didn't have time to breath and needed time alone to
catch up on papers that needed to get done...<sigh>. During that 3 months
break is when I decided to change jobs and move so I really didn't get much
of a break at all. But all that is almost behind me. Now, I'm off to law
school next... or beauty school... just can't decide......... LOL

semester?  Is this doable while working fulltime?Rose
