income based repayment caps your loan repayment at 15% of your current income if your loans are consolidated. In December of 2015, you should be eligible for pay as you earn, which would cap repayment at 10%. If you work at a non-profit for 10 years ...

it is silly to condemn a school purely for being online. I go to drexel and allll or our exams are proctored. My coworker goes to a brick and mortar school and all his exams are open book.

I really think there needs to be a distinction between for-profit online programs (which I think are not good for the profession for a myriad of reasons) and traditional, well-know universities that offer online programs that are quite rigorous. I cu...
Are you in NP school yet? Have you ever worked bedside as an RN? I think the reason that you have rankled some people's feathers is because you speak with great conviction about what you are assuming reality to be. I worked as an ICU RN and a psychia...
Hi Everyone, Would love to hear from anyone that has experience with obtaining a NHSC job for loan reimbursement. I am a PMHNP student who will be graduating in about a year (thank you Lord!!), and I really would like to work in a NHSC approved posit...
