slow process

The application for IL is daunting and I've started and stopped on it a few times.  I have to verify employment/experience with my current job, verify education with my nursing college, verify my Texas and MI licenses, be fingerprinted...  and I'm probably forgetting what else.  You'd think that my having a MI and TX license would be enough to give me one in Illinois, but apparently not. 

Tomorrow I will go get my titres checked and my OK to physically and mentally work as well as stop by the police station to be fingerprinted.  Once that is done, I can mail the prints to a company in Chicago and they'll process them.  I am hoping by Tuesday of next week they will have received and processed them, and emailed me the receipt so I can submit at least the portion of my application that will allow me a temporary license.

I am still trying to get ahold of San Jac to determine exactly how I need to mail my education verification form. 

Meanwhile, there is a night shift posting still for Chicago, but there could still be changes between now and September.  Shelby is working to try to get me in on a dayshift, or rotating schedule, in September.  I looked on their site tonight and saw a posting for Ann Arbor.  It's night shift, but it'd be so much closer and I could skip the housing and take the money as the drive wouldn't be too bad.  If I worked my nights in a row, I could get a hotel to sleep in during the day and maybe pocket some of the housing subsidy...
