Hello everyone! I'm new to AllNurses and was hoping to introduce myself and network with other applicants who are applying to USA for Neonatal NP. I've noticed we are few in numbers and was hoping for some mutual support and encouragement as we apply and wait. I have 2.5 years of Adult Surgical ICU experience and recently transitioned to NICU in August. By the time Spring rolls around I will have a year and 4 months in NICU. My cumulative GPA is 3.5. Fingers crossed I get in!

I'm sorry to hear you are so stressed about this. I also find myself stressed out about my loans sometimes and they're only $30k. Lesson learned though, nobody cares where you went to school so it's not worth it to go into massive debt for a nursing degree. What is helping me find peace is having a solid plan for repayment, working OT as I am able and budgeting like a mad woman. I'm following Dave Ramsey's baby steps and it's helping me tremendously! Highly recommend the book Total Money Makeover to help you set a plan for repayment of your debt. Good luck!
