2. Money, money, money!

   medhead replied to shannonFNP's topic in General Students

   I'm prior service military so I have the GI Bill which will pay for the majority of it. Until the payments kick in, I got a student loan in the mean time and then will use the GI Bill payments to pay the loan off. Thank goodness my husband makes en...

4. Starting Nursing School on Aug 27th?

   medhead replied to beth66335's topic in General Students

   I have no doubt I can handle it. I'm prior service military and my hubby is still serving. Flexibility is a must for us and is a huge part of our lifestyle. Doesn't change the fact that I like to be in the know though

   medhead replied to beth66335's topic in General Students

   Another hopeful starting on the 27th! Orientation is on the 24th. I can totally relate to the 'secret society' comments. I've been trying to get some specific questions answered by the CON staff, but the only reply I get is that I have to wait unt...

9. When to apply?

   medhead replied to miranda819's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you think you can get those pre-reqs knocked out this summer and Fall, then I say... Apply! The 'you never know' comment by the previous poster is sooooo true. What's the worse that can happen? So... on the off chance you don't get accepted thi...

10. DID NOT GET IN! Completely devastated...

    medhead replied to vicky3269's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Have a margarita on me girl! I'm so sorry. To have to wait 5 freaking months for disappointment... ugh. But, you're a smart, tough cookie with a great support system to boot! It sounds like Plan B is already in motion and I have no doubt you'll b...

11. Air Force to Nursing

    medhead replied to Tipsims's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have not needed to take out loans yet. Not sure how it'll work for you, but here's how it's gone for me. First, with every new school you attend, you have to talk to the VA folks at the admin office and get set up through them... don't forget to ha...

12. Doing the 4.0 Dance!

    medhead replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Congratulations! Go you! I've also found that going back to school after being away so long somehow has made me better at it. I'm sure it's a combo of many different things, but, hey, who's complaining!?! Keep it up!

13. Air Force to Nursing

    medhead replied to Tipsims's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I understand your worry about starting a program and then having to PCS. It is a real issue. That is one of the reasons it's taken me so long to complete my pre-reqs before applying to a nursing school. And, I didn't even apply until I knew we'd be a...

    medhead replied to Tipsims's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm prior service AF also :) Served from 1995 to 2001. My hubby is still in, so while I'm no longer AD, I'm still knee deep in the lifestyle too. And I so understand the worries about trying to finish school and getting orders! It's taken me six year...
