    Need Nursing Grants Or Scholarships Desperately!

    BBFRN replied to AddyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry Addy- I saw 'TCU,' and was thinking Transitional Care Unit...lol. I'm wondering why you didn't get offered any Stafford loans, though? Are you considered a non-degree-seeking student at your...

    Need Nursing Grants Or Scholarships Desperately!

    BBFRN replied to AddyRN's topic in General Nursing

    You should be able to get loans- is there a reason you were turned down for at least those? Have you filled out a FAFSA for this year? Have you considered asking your employer for tuition...

    A friendly reminder to please stay on topic of the thread. This is a time for EC students and grads to stand together, not to begin arguing with each other. Trinity took the time to explain her...

    What are you paying per credit hour????

    BBFRN replied to bucknangler's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wow. That's per credit hr without outlying fees? I feel fortunate to be paying $456/credit hr in my public university, then. I'll quit griping about that from now

    TX LVN/Military Wife want's RN degree online

    BBFRN replied to caringLVN's topic in LPN to RN

    Have you checked out ISU? They have a LPN-BSN program, and I'm fairly sure it's accepted everywhere. It sounds like that would fit your plan. Excelsior College has a LPN-RN online program as well....

    I started out in transitional program, and switched to EC after having problems with my program as well. The previous program was just so disorganized, they kept screwing up my financial aid, and...

    Research assitanship/Teaching Assistantship

    BBFRN replied to MomenTs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Management would not really involve patient care, so that's something to consider. As for providing care in remote places- you can still do that as a RN. You don't really need a MSN for that. I'm...

    Research assitanship/Teaching Assistantship

    BBFRN replied to MomenTs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks Moments. Which program you want to do will be your first step. Those are two fairly different pathways. Do you know any NPs or nurse managers that you could shadow to see what their jobs are...

    Please Read Before Posting: Tips Regarding Distance Programs

    BBFRN replied to BBFRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There is also an enrollment fee. I'm not sure how much that costs now. It's good for a year, so if it takes you longer than 1 year, you'll have to pay another (lesser) enrollment fee for the next...

    Research assitanship/Teaching Assistantship

    BBFRN replied to MomenTs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My program let me apply for an assistantship when I applied for the program, but most schools probably won't let you do that. Not all schools require the GRE, so you'll want to make sure you need it...

    You know, we're really not just saying that to make you feel better. Think about it statistically. You would have had to perform extremely bad for it to fail you at 75 questions. Knowing you, I'd...

    All of the professors I've spoken with in my program seem to have the same philosophy regarding having a rigid research focus plan, thank goodness. I think having that kind of expectation especially...

    All nurses hate their job

    BBFRN replied to iamhere's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm an exception, then. 14 years as a nurse, and still glad to be one. No regrets here. I have had jobs that I didn't like, and did suffer from burn out a couple times. The key is knowing...
