11. Is financial aid worthless?

    BlueBoxSearcher replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I feel like if I get a job I wont be able to study for the program.On the other hand,I would feel like I was using financial aid in the wrong way if I didnt get a job.I want to do my best in college and I feel like a job would make it suffer.At least...

15. Hospital reimbursement

    BlueBoxSearcher posted a topic in General Students

    I have heard that if you agree to work with a hospital for a certain amount of time,say two years,they will reimburse the money you spent on the college degree.I dont know if this is like an internship,but is it true?
