   I would LOVE to see what you have! I don't know if I can pm you- how many posts do you have to have to be able to do that? I live in Burlington but my fiance lives in Raleigh off of Tryon Road, so not too far from Cary. I could possible come on Su...

   It varies. From what I've researched and what I've been told, it can range from mid to high 30's on up. Hospitals typically pay the best, especially if you specialize and home health care usually pays the worst.

   That's tough! The only thing I can recommend, and don't know if you've already checked out, is Wells Fargo student loans. Of course the interest rate is going to be higher than Stafford loans, but it may be worth it in the end. I'm fairly certain ...

   I'm kind of up in the air at this point still. I think my parents are going to help me some and then I get paid to work with my grandfather everyday, so that helps too. If there's anything I can try to help you with, let me know! I am looking forw...

   I'm taking A&P, leadership, a psych, math, religion, and history. Can't remember specifically which classes though. From what little I know about the workload for MOC, it sounds kind of tough, but that's in the eye of the beholder! So who knows...

   Well, since you have a degree already a lot of things should transfer in. Hopefully you'll get lucky! My fiance's mom is a RN in a cath lab, so I get a lot support from her. My grandmother and two of my great-aunts went to Watts in the 1940's, so i...

   Hi byrd! I just met with MOC last week about schedules, transfer credit and financial aid. My financial aid is still up in the air because I had to submit other paperwork, but that should all get to them tomorrow. Hopefully you can take out Staffo...

   Ncpony, I don't have my bachelors. I have taken a TON of classes, though. I also have my CNA and EMT licenses. I'm afraid to ask too many questions for fear of making someone mad. The lady in financial aid at MOC told me it would be another two o...

   Hi ncpony! Yeah, I'm REALLY hoping that all of those will transfer in, except I know I will have to take math. If I'm super lucky, maybe they will accept my bio, but I doubt it. What is your bachelors degree in? I'm looking forward to getting sta...

    What did you get transferred? I'm hoping and praying that maybe I won't have to retake A&P. I took one course that was 4 or 5 credit hours with a lab and made a B. What did they tell you about bio? Or really anything else for that matter?

    Ncpony, have you heard anything from Watts about being accepted? Let me know! Also, I though I might start a page on FB for our class, but I have to have at least one name to add before it'll let me create the page. Let me know what you think and ...

    Thanks! I wish I could meet with someone soon so I know if I need to take out private loans and how much. I need them for living expenses. I'll try to get in touch with all of you to see what electives to stay away from. Thanks again!

    Thanks Jen, that's kind of what I figured. I thought of another question- how many classes do you take at a time with MOC? I'm kind of confused about that since I've not heard anything about having my appointment with financial aid, etc.

    Hello all! I wanted to ask a couple of questions since you guys are in the prereqs and I will begin those in January. I'm contemplating "sitting " with my grandfather who has dementia while I'm in my prereqs and I didn't know if any of you are work...
