   Well put. This will be my last post on this particular thread. As I stated, I was just curious how someone could be that far in debt for a BSN. I guess at least one person answered me honestly- private college and little or no scholarship/grant money...

   nursing has taught us to acknowledge and respect, if not appreciate the differences of others.... twin mommy your blatant disregard for the difference in circumstances that impact the lives of others is an embarrassment to the profession of nursing! ...

   I am over it, believe me. With shift differentials and overtime, I will clear $80,000 this year- my first year of nursing. My children will have more choices than I did, and they will want for nothing. Goal=achieved. End of Story.

   Seriously. 483%? And you worked every minute when you weren't in school? I honestly don't think my $2500.00/semester Pell Grant was the "cause" of you racking up such a huge debt. I copied this from another post as I don't have time to do any seriou...

   I got the Pell Grant each semester for 8 semesters- about $2500/semester average. Nothing that would even begin to compare to the $200,000 that some graduate nurses borrowed. It just seems like an excessive amount of debt for a Bachelor's unles you a...

   I am just wondering how on earth someone could rack up 450% worth of debt:income ratio, assuming that the average starting salary for an RN is ~$50,000. Assuming it is undergraduate debt, then that would mean over $50,000/year for living expenses and...

7. How much do Nurses really make?

   TwinMommyX2 replied to GtownhoyasDC's topic in Georgia

   In Albuquerque, NM starting salary $60,000/yr with a BSN and no experience. The shift differentials and overtime bring it up to the $80,000/yr range. Outpatient RN's make about 20% less, largely due to the lack of differentials and overtime.

8. Trying to avoid undesirable CNA duties

   TwinMommyX2 replied to girtenbt's topic in CNA/MA

   I am ashamed that you may be graduating from a BSN Program, possibly in my state. BSN graduates in my city are widely viewed as primadonnas who will search for a CNA for a half an hour while their patient lies in their own excrement instead of cleani...
