   yeah i have a $25 late fee right now too, i really hope they take it off, because that is not fair.

2. Decided to go back to the corporate world....

   kjwarren replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

   Actually I have read the opposite, that if they don't have work for you, you are SOL. I was hoping this wasn't true. I really hope you are right. :/

3. I need help making a job decision....I'm a nursing student

   kjwarren replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

   I would go with the second one. It is closer and you even said you would like to work there when you are done. As the previous poster said, you may get pulled in on some things that could get you some good experience, and it may open the door for you...

4. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

   kjwarren replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

   What bothers me is that a "C" used to mean average, not "bottom of the barrel." I don't imagine school work has gotten any easier, so why should I "C" now look like a "D" or an "F"? Personally, I am never happy with a "C" though I have had my share o...

5. Completely mortified

   kjwarren replied to jamal27's topic in General Students

   I am starting the prereqs soon, and I have to say I've been pretty scared too, but there are a couple of things I remind myself to keep from going too crazy. 1. Other people's levels of difficulty are not yours. 2. Someone else's definition of "free ...

6. Anyone have experience with Lap Band Surgery?

   kjwarren replied to Keepstanding's topic in Stress 101

   13 pounds is nothing to sneer at! If I am counting right, that sounds like almost 2lbs. a week which is excellent! That's a healthy amount to be losing. Good luck and keep it up!

7. Starting Pre-Reqs... Scared to Death!

   kjwarren replied to kjwarren's topic in General Students

   Thank you so much everyone. This really made me feel a lot better, and more confident about my decision. Also, you are right Daytonite. I need to stop letting other people's experiences determine how I will handle mine. I am sure there have been a l...

8. Starting Pre-Reqs... Scared to Death!

   kjwarren posted a topic in General Students

   I finally decided that this was something I wanted to do, and was very sure about my decision... for a while. Now I am just reading so much from people who HATE their jobs and it is really freaking me out. I realize this is a place to vent and not ev...

9. the "dream" has come to an end

   kjwarren replied to summersent's topic in General Nursing

   I hope your new career works out! Pharmacy always seemed kinda interesting to me too. Though I do have to say that I wouldn't turn your nose up at $20/hr. right now. My fiance just graduated with a bachelor's degree in new media (sound and video prod...

11. Ivy Tech Summer Loan Disbursement Question

    kjwarren posted a topic in Indiana

    I was approved for a loan for summer classes but I am a little confused on the disbursement information. According to sallie mae and ivy tech's websites they will not be disbursed until the 1st and 16th of July. My classes start at the beginning of J...

12. Anyone else feeling frustrated with their job?

    kjwarren replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch, that is pretty awful. Our plan is to live in a 2-bedroom apartment around that rate too. My biggest fear is our student loans. I have a lot from a previous degree and the payments are a monster. I'm hoping that with 2 of us it won't be too bad,...

13. Anyone else feeling frustrated with their job?

    kjwarren replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    That sucks. I guess it just scares the crap out of me after hearing how hard the work is and how little appreciation you get. You'd think you'd at least be comfortable (though not filthy rich.) What if I plan to just pay off my student loans, rent a...

14. Anyone else feeling frustrated with their job?

    kjwarren replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    All this talk of not being able to pay bills without over time really scares me. Are you getting paid very little or do you just have a lot of bills? One would think that full-time work would be enough to keep a person afloat, especially in a job lik...

15. 40,0000 for RN program

    kjwarren replied to tiffdeandre's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you also, that that much debt, they will ask for more like $600/month if you don't try to lower it and extend your payments. I know someone with exactly that much debt and that is how much Sallie Mae wanted before they called and told them...
