   I'm just curious about how much the extra rate is for new RNs in the Boston area who decline healthcare coverage and benefits? I get it thru my husband's work. (don't get me wrong, I'd take whatever they'd pay me if I was lucky enough to get a job!!...

   Hey NeNe, I did wind up applying to WellsFargo and got a great rate! I canceled the Discover loan and went with WellsFargo - thanks again for the recommendation! After they take off the additional .75% at graduation, my rate is 4% less than it was ...

   Darn it! That is way cheaper - I think I still can cancel discover and go with that one instead though. What was your rate, if you don't mind me asking?

    honeymist replied to miss pereira's topic in Massachusetts

    That's weird, if they are looking for your financial aid docs I think you must've gotten in. Are you positive you were not accepted? Why would they want that stuff if they weren't accepting you?? They're really nice there, if you call I bet they'l...

    honeymist replied to miss pereira's topic in Massachusetts

    I'm starting in July too. I haven't heard anything about registering or that CPR class but I'm going to inquire. A girl I know who is going to MGH is taking her CPR now (in advance of starting the program) so I feel like that might be a good idea t...
