1. Hiring Wait Time

   KayGee posted a topic in Professionalism

   Hi! I'm planning on moving across the country to Portland, OR next year. My biggest question is, how far out do hospitals usually hire nurses? I'd like to have a job secured before I pack up all my things and move to a brand new city - I won't be abl...

2. Pearson Vue Trick Feb 2016

   KayGee replied to blongo's topic in NCLEX

   I tried this with my moms old canceled card number because when I put in a fake number it told me it was an invalid number. I figured if I used that number and it tried to charge the $200 it can't since the card no longer exists anyway. If people are...

   Yes, people have dogs in the program lol someone even has a husky! Your life isn't totally destroyed while in the program, you just have to study a lot and write a lot of papers but there's still some free time. Some people even work! Also, they ar...

   Most people try to live in the White Coat ghetto because it's so close to Strong and Hellen Wood Hall. Goller house is a good option but the waitlist for that place is insane, unless you can find someone who is currently living there and become their...

   My experience: Our cohort ended up being 65, I think. And they'll call you if you're accepted to see if you're still interested. If you are, they'll send your acceptance letter along with a bunch of forms you have to fill out and send back. They sen...

   If you get the military thing, that's amazing. Everything helps. There's someone else in the program who is getting military benefits as well, sounds like they're paying for a good portion of theirs (jealous). Mine was through Sallie Mae. My bank doe...

   KayGee replied to Tink87's topic in School Programs

   Thanks! And yeah it's daunting. Some loans allow you to defer payments until after graduation, some up to 6 months after graduation, but your interest is usually higher that way. I'm hoping for a good job after this and try to pay it off sooner rathe...

    KayGee replied to KayGee's topic in Massachusetts

    I got waitlisted but I'm actually attending University of Rochester's program right now, so I guess it doesn't make much of a difference for me lol But if you're on the waitlist, there'll be one less person competing for the spots!

    Yeah, you really don't have much of a choice but to go private. You can't do the PLUS loan for this program for some weird reason, even though it says it applies to professional students, but apparently not for this... $12,500 federal, $70k in priva...

    *creeps back into your guys' thread* Watch out on the loans, U of R will send you a budget (I put it below) which advises having quite a bit of money lined up. You get to choose what you want to do with loans, but you'll be paying the school for sure...

13. Best nursing youtube channels?

    KayGee replied to nursedorkface's topic in Student Assist

    I'm actually going to be starting one on my journey through nursing school. I'm trying to figure out if I'm allowed to say what school I'm attending. I've noticed that a lot of nursing students won't say what school they're in. I feel so long as you'...

    Hey guys! I thought I'd creep your guys' thread, I'm starting in September. lol It's summer time so some of those in the SON admissions office have been out of town and/or busy. There's been a few cases where our stuff has arrived at funky times or t...
