Boise State and Nursing Program and School27 Feb 2007 01:47 pm

I applied to the BSU Nursing Program

I officially applied to the Boise State nursing program this morning. I retook the Compass Placement Exam last week and did really well. I scored 98 on both reading and math (99 is perfect). I placed above Albegra (as I should have) so I was able to enter 99 for my math score on the application. I also had 7 bonus points for completed courses, such as English, math, psychology, anatomy & physiology. That put my total score at 204. They couldn’t tell me if that was good enough, but she had a suspicion that only those that score 200 or above would be considered for admission.

I also signed up for a certified nursing assistant (CNA) class on Saturdays. That means that every Saturday from now until May 5 will consist of sitting in a room for eight hours. By summer I hope to be getting clinical experience in a local hospital.

UPDATED:: Pegasus Mail has been discontinued given new life

Update: After an avalanche of mail, David Harris has decided to restart development of Pegasus Mail. Not only that, he is making the manuals free. You can get them from his downloads page.

I just read via Slashdot that the developement of Pegasus Mail has been discontinued due to lack of funding. Pegasus has come a long way in recent years, and is considered one of the best alternatives to Microsucks Outlook. You can see the official announcement on the Pegasus Mail website.

If you are in need of a stand alone email client after PMAIL is gone, I would recommend Mozilla’s Thunderbird.
