    FNP vs PA

    MERCEDES674 replied to nursing6207's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Graduate with honors or with a double major?

    MERCEDES674 replied to Ashley.'s topic in Post Graduate Students

    Would it be wise as a RN to.....medication Aide?

    MERCEDES674 replied to grateful2010's topic in General Nursing

    Stafford federal loans - grad school online

    MERCEDES674 replied to mathilda843's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That shouldn't be a problem. Financial aid starts over every fall. The former school should have sent the rest of the loan back minus their costs. You should still be able to get financial aid....
