    gauge14iv replied to Priddyeyez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh - and I know at SWAU you can take the LPN exam after your first year of the RN program. Also at SWAU - I took out a loan from the school to cover the semester at the beginning of each semester, I...

  5. Unaccredited?

    gauge14iv replied to Priddyeyez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might try: Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls - In an outlying area so not as many applicants. State university tuition and costs. You would probably have to move to WF to attend there...

  7. Help...APA formatting! ugh

    gauge14iv replied to RNin2007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    EndNote is the Be All End All APA formatting tool used by professionals who publish. I have been using it for about 3 years. They make a PDA version of it too. I cannot say enough wonderful things...

  9. Unaccredited?

    gauge14iv replied to Priddyeyez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    According to this: ftp://www.bne.state.tx.us/vnschools.pdf You would be eligible for state licensure. As I said - transferring credits for an RN later would be problematic at best, impossible at...

  10. moving to austin, looking for schooling for my mom

    gauge14iv replied to sunnywake's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yup - I concur with the just go straight to the RN program too. If you want to get an LVN and stop there, or work for a number of years in between then go for the LVN. If you know you want an RN...

  11. Unaccredited?

    gauge14iv replied to Priddyeyez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldnt do this either - I visited their web site. Chances are when you got ready to go for your RN none of the credits would transfer and youd have to start from scratch or test out. Focus your...

  12. Ahhh!! What now?

    gauge14iv replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    gauge14iv replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    Here is the info sheet DH uses for his clients - BAD credit can disrupt your life. That’s why, in addition to paying your bills on time, it’s important to check the accuracy of your credit...

  15. Beyond bad credit-struck by lightening twice

    gauge14iv replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah the laws are sort of odd in Texas... For instance - I have a judgement for 3.5 mil against a guy who hit me in a drunk driving accident. I can't attach anything because he has nothing. I'll never...

  16. Beyond bad credit-struck by lightening twice

    gauge14iv replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    CRNA - you are correct. They can sue, and they can get a judgement - but in most cases - depending on your state, there isnt anything they can do after that. They cannot attach your home, your...

    gauge14iv replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    Part of your FICO is based on time - so anything recent will hurt you worse than anything

  18. Beyond bad credit-struck by lightening twice

    gauge14iv replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    Again that depends on what the creditor or employer is looking for. If they are looking at FICO scores it will hurt you, if they are looking for integrity thats different. They dont write loans on...

  19. Beyond bad credit-struck by lightening twice

    gauge14iv replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    Im not saying its RIGHT not to pay an old debt - but you do need to be aware of what the effect is on your credit report. What people *think* will make their report look better usually messes it up...

  21. Beyond bad credit-struck by lightening twice

    gauge14iv replied to august_snow's topic in General Nursing

    Paid vs unpaid - on an old debt does not change how it looks. The only thing that matters in terms of how it "looks" is how many days behind the payments got (60/30/90/120 etc) If you have a debt in...

  22. You'd think I was applying to CIA! Background checks

    gauge14iv replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    Believe it not - debt due to medical expenses is stricken from consideration by most loan generators. It's "understandable & necessary" debt. Honestly most of those details they will never even...

  23. HCA Hospital??

    gauge14iv replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    That is absolutely bunk in the several HCA's I worked for!!! In fact - 2 years ago they cut the LVN's out of the ICU's - even those that had been there for 20 years or more! :uhoh21: In addition -...
