  4. Cashing out 401k a good idea?

    cyclone67 replied to marie813's topic in General Students

    Don't cash out the 401K you are going to get hit with taxes in addition to the penalty when you file this year. You are basically doing the equivalent of taking out a loan at 50% interest by the time...

    cyclone67 replied to Crimsonstarr's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So as far as RN-BSN versus RN-MSN; both are really the same. You are going to be an entry level RN. The only advantage I would say is if you go for an AP degree then a few of your MSN level courses...
