    maryshome8 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am hoping to start nursing school in the Fall of 2007. I have a BS in Psychology and will be getting my RN as an ASN. This area is extremely small and there are no NICU's at the area hospitals. I...

  3. Loans to cover more than just the cost of classes

    maryshome8 replied to squirtle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's illegal for a Nursing School to ask how you plan on paying for school. That is what alternative lists are for. That can lead to discrimination based on socioeconomic status. A LENDER can, but a...

  4. Rampant Cheating

    maryshome8 replied to nycNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Report it to your instructor as well as the department head and to administration if that doesn't get it done. It's not fair for someone to get a grade the easy way when you have worked 10x as hard...

  5. discouragement

    maryshome8 replied to likatutata's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started college when I was 18, and I didn't graduate with my first BS until I was 25 years old due to a host of hold-ups and transferring schools. I am returning to school at 37 and I'll be 40 when...

    maryshome8 replied to maryshome8's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I went through the archives...I had actually never looked up old posts and was unsure of what to even search for, but I found out what I was looking for. I kept seeing something mentioned "perceptor"...

    maryshome8 replied to cajjj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in an extremely small town in Virginia where resources and hospital facilities are limited. I am a single mother with a 2 year old daughter. I started this semester at a 4-year school that had...

  9. Question about confidentiality

    maryshome8 replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if a nurse posted enough information about where they worked they could be easily found. Like if someone posted that they worked in Charlotte, NC for a Neonatal Optomologist...that would narrow...

  10. Question about confidentiality

    maryshome8 replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    We were told that the criteria that I have listed is ok for publishing for the public to read, and a message board is a form of publishing. The professor that I had was a Clinical Psychologist, 30...

  12. Question about confidentiality

    maryshome8 replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    I would seriously doubt that attorney's would be trying to make a living going through a website and then trying to track down a patient to see if they want to file a lawsuit for violation of...

    maryshome8 replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful on the Chem and AP courses together, and taking Stats with Organic Chem. Very, very difficult

  18. Help! Teas Scores!

    maryshome8 replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This particular CC that I am applying for is sort of vague about it's requirements, they are up front on how they do the point system, but no one but the school has the matrix they use to calculate...

    maryshome8 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am re-posting this. I'm taking a survey for those that take this for Nursing pre-admission, what scores their schools are looking for.

  20. Nursing Insurance

    maryshome8 replied to lancerRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not that the media is always right and tells you everything, but when you hear of something going wrong in a hospital, you almost never hear of the nurses involved, it's always the hospital that gets...

  21. Nursing Insurance

    maryshome8 replied to lancerRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When my mother worked for the hospital, the hosptial carried this on the RN's and other hospital staff because they were direct-paid, W-2 employees. Doctors, obviously, carried their own b/c they are...

  22. Loans to cover more than just the cost of classes

    maryshome8 replied to squirtle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While there are many hospitals that have agreements to pay off student debt, you can rest assured there are two "catches" to those contracts. 1) There will be a limit on how much in student loans it...

  23. Loans to cover more than just the cost of classes

    maryshome8 replied to squirtle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You won't be able to get that much from the FASFA, what I suspect people are doing is applying for private student loans, and these are almost always at a variable rate of interest (they can change...

  24. Loans to cover more than just the cost of classes

    maryshome8 replied to squirtle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, that is about right. The other thing you need to consider is fluctuations in the interest rate. So your monthly payment can actually be higher than that some years. I'm not sure what your...

    maryshome8 replied to squirtle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Word of caution: I'm changing careers after working in the lending industry for that last 10 years as an underwriter (that is the person that actually approves your loan). I wanted to post this for...
