    dnw826 replied to The Dude's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I just used Bank of America online and got a loan approved. Thank goodness! That should at least cover the tuition that my financial aid doesn't cover for being out of state! I never even...

    dnw826 replied to dnw826's topic in General Nursing

  4. I need help finding funds!!

    dnw826 replied to The Dude's topic in General Students

    For me personally-There are no jobs around here. I used to work as a CNA, EMT, and ART. But since moving out of state, my qualifications don't transfer and it would take me months to get them back....

    dnw826 replied to The Dude's topic in General Students

    I know the feeling. We are dirt poor and just had to move out of state for dh to find a job. Now I have to pay out of state tuition and even with $11k in loans, it doesn't cover my tuition, let...

    dnw826 replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would never judge someone for not breastfeeding. So I don't mean that I would treat my patients different! I just meant more with hospitals which are like the ones that I mentioned. All of the OB...

    dnw826 replied to olichi's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  9. Are there any Illinois hospitals I should avoid?

    dnw826 replied to raindrop's topic in Illinois Nursing

    So I know this is probably way out of the area you are looking at, but Sarah Bush Lincoln in Mattoon is horrible. I would avoid it like the plague. Too many reasons to state, but I can if you

  10. I think my PPD is positive

    dnw826 replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    I also have a scary looking reaction when I get the ppd. The nurse who did it the first time gets the same reaction, and so she didn't freak out about it being positive. But she says that I am...

  14. Pay and jobs in Vermont

    dnw826 replied to ayndim's topic in General Nursing

    I would veto this one. I am in NC and I hate it. Lots of people love it, but the snow is rare, the cost of living even in small towns is absolutely outrageous, and honestly, 99% of the schools suck....
