1. Dismissed from Program (Venting)

   Suey816 replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

   That's why the original poster may be eligible for loan forgiveness, if the disorder was severe enough and the school was aware, they shouldn't have let them rack up loans and fail, because they would have failed in the career as well. And no, the ta...

2. Dismissed from Program (Venting)

   Suey816 replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

   Some of the responses above are awful. I don't understand why people that want to be nurses would spend their free time kicking people when they are down. You have diagnosed disorders and you know that makes life more difficult, even others don't und...

3. Recent graduate hoping to be a future NP - HELP!

   Suey816 replied to guest829834's topic in Illinois

   Where are you located? Lewis in Oakbrook offers an RN to MSN, so if you get your ADN from a community college, which is the cheapest, then you can go right for the MSN and not get another bachelors. If you try to get another bachelors, you might find...

5. How many are living off student loans in school?

   Suey816 replied to merlinsbeard's topic in General Students

   I'm in the same shoes, have not found a decent healthcare related job that I can work nights and weekends (yet, still trying...), and am taking out loans for my community college associates. For me, its worth it b/c of the salary increase when I grad...

6. 2nd Semester Blues

   Suey816 replied to Yellibee's topic in General Students

   You can do it, don't give up. Figure out how many points you need to get on the last assignments to pass, and hopefully its very achievable with your current grades. Just make sure you read the chapters assigned for the last few weeks and do well on ...

9. Pregnant and nursing school?

   Suey816 replied to JNcCole15's topic in General Students

   I couldn't do it, (well I *could* have), I fell in love with my newborn and just couldn't leave her. I took a year off to stay home with my baby, and now that she is 1, I am back enrolled in nursing school :) For me, I just had to make my baby the pr...

10. Had to quit nursing school during my 1st semester due to illness...I am broken hearte

    Suey816 replied to toonsis's topic in General Students

    How much previous medical debt do you have? (If over $10k, maybe bankruptcy?) Are you sure you will be well enough to do 4 straight semesters starting in the fall? If you aren't working, your health insurance is probably cheaper through the health ex...

11. What do you think of these Alegria brand shoes?

    Suey816 replied to Cieritaqt's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I love the Alegria Debra White Leather, it has a closed back. They're ugly, but the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, and my feet have never hurt after clinicals. They sort of mold to your foot inside and the rocker type bottom takes off a lot o...

12. Working for FREE!!!!???

    Suey816 replied to Candogal's topic in Geriatric

    I don't understand why anyone would work for free at any point. Why not just file a complaint with the Dept of Labor? They have easy online forms. It's a wage violation. Whether you're late or a "social butterfly" or whatever, they still have an obli...

15. Repeating 3rd..not because I failed...is depressing

    Suey816 replied to lu2013's topic in General Students

    I have to retake 1st!!!!!!! Be glad you don't have to take Fundamentals all over again, lol :) I had 3 A's in my classes, then moved out of the community college district, bought a house and had a baby. I've been out two semesters I think, but they s...
