    Huge Nursing School Debt!

    Multicollinearity replied to Shortigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Good point on the interest - 75k wouldn't be the 'real' amount. (The Stafford is capped at 57k for a bachelor's degree, though, so the balance would have to be financed at a higher rate through...

    ANY NURSES IN ARIZONA KNOW OF FACILITIES THAT HIRE NEW GRADS w/ INTERNSHIP INTO ICU??

    Multicollinearity replied to Chicci212's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Plus you could very well be viewed as flaky for bailing out on your ICU fellowship so quickly. These types of new grad training programs are *quite* expensive, and hospitals aren't looking for new...

    Sue, I don't have any tips, but your post is making me feel really grateful for my nursing program. I should count my blessings. I started three IVs in one day alone in my second semester of nursing...

    I wonder about that. We seem to repeat the same or similar types of errors over and over again. With hubris, too. I know economists have said previously that another Great Depression could not...
