    Miss Von replied to dfk's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Miss Von replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I looked through all of the loans as well. In the end I decided to get some of the federal money...not the ones where I would have to pay interest. I also took what I could get from the Sallie Mae...

  8. The Wait.....

    Miss Von replied to Miss Von's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As far as going on a trip...it is just an expense I saved up for. Some of the best advice that my friends in programs told me was to go somewhere fun and enjoy that time. Don't worry about the money...

  9. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

    Miss Von replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I believe you can get more than that. I did the Sallie Mae Tuition Answer loan..I believe that is the name of it. The max itself is $40,000 a year so that is more than $30,000. Plus the school has NO...

  13. How many years?

    Miss Von replied to HeadRx's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you look at past posts the number of years of experience ALWAYS vary. It is not so much the years of experience, but what you learn while there. I worked for 1 year including new grad orientation...

  14. managers letter of rec

    Miss Von replied to MelRN80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Miss Von replied to RARN2BE's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
