Since there was only one baccalaureate program in Austin (UT), I applied at both UT and at Austin Community College (ACC) as they had an ADN program. Much to my surprise, I got a form letter from ACC telling me I wasn't qualified for a position in the ADN nursing program because I had no community college teaching experience. GIVE ME A BREAK!!! LOL!!! Fortunately, UT hired me and the rest is history!

That is soooo crazy!!! So glad that UT hired you though, you are much better off, I'm sure!!!! Melissa hopes to be able to get her masters at UT or UTMB.

It's seriously looking like she may get two. One in nursing and another in English. She's smart enough to do it all. Her husband is really smart, too. He practically has a photographic memory. It's amazing what he can do. Definitely raises the bar. If their kids inherit the smarts from both of them, I'm not sure what they could accomplish. Wish we still had it.
