3. Maxed out student loans??

   tennyson replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

   I had a feeling that was going to come up...no, I am not only going into nursing for the money. Two words: social services. Now anybody understand why my current income options are so low I can't afford to pay down my debt? Never would I put tuiti...

4. Maxed out student loans??

   tennyson replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

   It's really not the degrees I care about. All I am desperate for right now is the RN, partly because I have been unable to find a job that pays well enough. If I could get the ADN I would. But how to get the ADN without waiting 1-2 years to get in...

5. Maxed out student loans??

   tennyson replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

   It seems like the problem is only this recent difficulty in making payments, since I received 2 Signature loans on my own credit during the 2002-2003 & 2001-2002 schoolyears. I would love to pay down my debt, but right now I can't even make ends ...

6. Maxed out student loans??

   tennyson replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for all your replies. I talked to Sallie Mae, the rep there said that I was denied based on some recent delinquencies on my credit report (I missed payments for 3 months on 2 cards because I'm broke). There is a cap on how much you can borrow,...

7. Loans & BAD credit

   tennyson replied to JSB's topic in CRNA

   Stafford loans don't have anything to do with your credit, they are only based on being enrolled at least half time in a degree program, and not having defaulted on previous student loans, or having a drug felony conviction. Signature loans, unfortun...

8. Maxed out student loans??

   tennyson replied to tennyson's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks...It seems like going to school for the ADN would take as long as getting the BSN for me since I have all pre reqs and all other classes other than nursing courses. Please correct me if this is wrong! I live in NYC, and spent all of 2003 look...

9. Maxed out student loans??

   tennyson posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all, Is anyone else out there lucky enough to be a part of the "I capped out the student loan limits" club? I took out loans for my undergraduate and gradutate non nursing degrees (which have certainly not paid off), and now that I've been accept...

    you do need to take all the science prereqs wherever you go; these are generally chemistry, a&p i & ii, and microbiology. as a second degree student you're eligible to apply to accelerated programs that let you get the bsn in 12-16 months (...

11. man, going back is a waste of time...

    tennyson replied to chuckcamp's topic in General Students

    I think the classes at BMCC are fine, but these are the first science courses I've ever had. We seem to have more lecture time and less actual lab experience than I expected. Pretty much just take notes for the entire class period and then get tested...

    tennyson replied to chuckcamp's topic in General Students

    If you're unable to start school at least halftime, and your monthly student loan payment is a certain percentage more than what the gov considers to be payable according to your income, you can qualify for forbearance. I was in forbearance for 3 ye...

    tennyson replied to chuckcamp's topic in General Students

    I am taking the prereqs right now at bmcc cuny in manhattan; apparently to get into their nursing program the only grades that matter are for health sciences math, A&P I, english, and speech. You need chem to take A&P I but they can be done s...
