2. Student Loans - What repayment plan?

   here_we_stand replied to here_we_stand's topic in General Students

   Thanks for your response! I am/will be working during the program, so technically I could make payments. It sounds like you end up paying less in the end if you make payments (not just interest) through-out school?

3. Help help!!! I have to take microbiology and anatomy/physiology togther??? Or? No?

   here_we_stand replied to futureNurse933's topic in General Students

   I took them together. It required a lot of studying. If you are a strong student, go for it! You can also drop a class after a couple classes if you decide it's going to be too much.

   here_we_stand posted a topic in General Students

   Hi all, So for my BSN program, financial aid/scholarships don't cover everything. I'm not able to have a cosigner for a loan, but thankfully I have pretty good credit. So for private student loans, (around $14,000) regarding the repayment plan - whic...

   here_we_stand posted a topic in General Nursing

   This is a very basic question but: When you put on a bandage or even band-aid over a joint, do you put it on when the extremity is flexed or extended? I'm sure it depends on what type of bandage etc, but let's use a band-aid for an example. Thanks!

   When listening for bowel sounds, a loud pulse was heard over the RUQ & the LUQ, but is not heard in either of the lower quadrants of the abdomen. What could this be?

8. Finish LPN or go straight to BSN?

   here_we_stand replied to here_we_stand's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Thanks for this advice, guys. I guess I was just getting discouraged that that actual nursing part of a BSN is 4-5 semesters and my LPN was 3 semesters. Kinda wish I would've just gone for BSN to begin with, but that's alright. I guess finishing what...

   Thanks for the responses. I don't intend to work as an LPN since I have a job already... does that change any opinions? Thanks! :)

    here_we_stand posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Hi there, I am currently in a 3 semester LPN program and in the 2nd semester. End of Spring 2014 I will have my LPN license. However I've been thinking about just going for BSN instead of finishing the LPN. To transfer from LPN to BSN (or LPN to RN...
