1. NELRP 2010

   RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

   Everyone who got acceptance letters, check your accounts today. I got my deposit! Whoo hoo! Also, it would be wise to pay the higher interest loans first than the lower ones.

2. NELRP 2010

   RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

   I don't think it matters if the loans are in repayment or if they're consolidated. All the govt wants to know is what's your income, your debt, and what type of facility do you work at. Good luck applying! If I were you, I would go ahead and get all ...

3. NELRP 2010

   RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

   Snicci, You make a valid point about NELRP in terms of the program being set up to help those who are really in need. Before I got my acceptance letter, I was looking forward to $2000/mo for 25 years. Because of the current economic situation, no ban...

4. NELRP 2010

   RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

   Thanks Black Hills Nurse. I would also like to point out that no one enters college with the idea of going into debt; it's just the consequence of getting a good education and I don't think people should be discouraged from getting an education b/c o...

5. NELRP 2010

   RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

   TwinMommy, You forgot to add the cost of living on campus so add $10,000+ and get over it. I'm sure when you filed your FAFSA that your EFC was much less b/c you had kids, I didn't so mine was $11,000 which I COULDN'T afford nor could my family with ...

6. NELRP 2010

   RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

   TwinMommy, Part of your mistake is assuming some of us didn't work. I did- every minute I wasn't in school and then would be up until 3am most years completing assignments, etc. I went to a school in Boston- it doesn't even matter where I went, if yo...

7. NELRP 2010

   RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

   TwinMommy, I have racked up $229,000 in debt d/t my school being a co-op school so divide 229,000/6 yrs and you get the $40,000/yr of loans... I'm only lucky to have gotten the forgiveness and am happy b/c I don't make enough to pay $2000/mo for 25 y...

   RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

   Great question! I was wondering the same exact thing. I think it only makes sense to apply the money to high interest loans rather than to all of them.

   I GOT MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER!!! I was contacted for info in early June and my ratio is 489%. YAY!!!!

    RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

    This is great to hear that people are starting to get their contracts. I just got married and haven't made it home yet to check my mail... I hope there's good news waiting for me!

    RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

    I re-read the stuff on the website and it said people will be contacted for the awards between July 1 and Sept 30. Now to hold our breaths!

    RNStephanie replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

    Hi everyone. Good news, I was contacted for my verification documents. Anyone else? Do we know what this means?

13. A Nurse who doesn't wash hands

    RNStephanie replied to GFzalez's topic in General Nursing

    That is disgusting. I know the constant washing is such a pain, but holy hell- touching eyes and then other pt's meds?! GROSS! I would put up such a stink if I knew my family member's nurse wasn't washing her hands between pt's. I put up a stink when...

    RNStephanie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey Fellow Nurses (or soon to be), I just want to start the thread on this year's NELRP application- anything about it. The process, the amount of paperwork, our debt/income ratio's, status, etc. Here's mine: the paperwork was a pain. SallieMae took...

15. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    RNStephanie replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

    I took my NCLEX-RN July 21 at 2pm, got 75 questions and thought every one of them was a shot in the dark. I wanted to cry. I went home, tried the Pearson trick at least 6 times and it kept blocking me from paying. I looked at my board of nursing site...
