Crippling self doubt! (aka starting college at 40!)

I was on a work trip in the Carolina's for a week and I had extremely limited cell service and no internet the whole week. I couldn't get online to do anything and could barely even make cell phone calls.

Someone asked me what was wrong because I seemed distracted and I said "I can't get online to work on my college classes and it's bumming me out." I'm 100% sure they thought I was nuts. I drove 6 hours to get home today and the first thing I did was finally take the exam for the institutes ethics class. Got an 84%, which I'm perfectly fine with. A little bummed since I could have done better had I taken the test immediately after reading the materials but c'est la vie! I passed and I'll take it!

SO addicting! You'll start to feel a little weird as you finish your capstone knowing that it's about to end.

Tip #45576423: Don't worry so much about the grade you get unless it's < 70% and you're getting a grade assigned on your transcript for it. Wink
The reason I say that is, depending where you're at now with credits based on this thread, you're going to be taking ~30 classes. If they're ACE, remember that not all schools assign a letter grade for those classes. I'm not saying that you should do the minimum  - but just remember that the extra 2 hours you study to raise your grade over that 70% passing score is 2 hours lost (unless you're truly learning something and enjoy it, that's very different!)
1. Prep Phase: Hopeless, 15 credits, need a BA fast, never heard of TESU
2. TESU BALS: 121/120 (9 months)

3. RN Paramedic Bridge - Excelsior (9 months + CPNE wait)
4. WGU RN -> BSN
5. BSN -> MSN/FNP
