    I think we need a second degree student section...

    Asherah replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problem, but just be sure to contact several lenders and inquire with them about their rates, the index they use to calculate if the rate is variable (Prime Rate v. LIBOR), APR discounts they may...

    I think we need a second degree student section...

    Asherah replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, there are non-certified private loans which are called non-certified as they do not require COA (Cost of Attendance) certification/verification from the school's financial aid office. These...

    My school won't let me retake any of my prerequisites

    Asherah replied to oned's topic in General Nursing

    Also, you may not be able to retake these courses as the core sciences are usually severely impacted and those who haven't made their first attempt to take them need to do so. Letting everyone retake...

    Trouble getting Financial Aid for Pre-reqs

    Asherah replied to Hello.Nurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, this is the crucial question. If you filed out a FAFSA, the government would have acknowledged it by sending you a SAR (Student Aid Report) listing your EFC (Expected Family Contribution). They...

    Ridiculous Prereqs!

    Asherah replied to MisterSimba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you still need Oral Communication (Public Speaking)? I took that, but that was a pre-req for a few programs I applied to. I totally forgot about the Religious Studies courses I took for the MSMC...

    Ridiculous Prereqs!

    Asherah replied to MisterSimba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, should have said, fortunately I don't have to take Bioethics as I'm not going there. I've heard nothing but great things about MSMC and there are several current students and alumni who will...

    Ridiculous Prereqs!

    Asherah replied to MisterSimba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can feel your pain, as I was in the same situation while applying for programs over the past two years. The most painful was paying $800 (plus a parking permit fee) to take a graduate level...

    English prof + course issues....

    Let's just leave it at that now, shall we? Before you state that I didn't read and understand the post, perhaps you should read it as

    English prof + course issues....

    Asherah replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When someone asks for advice, it does not mean they will get responses agreeing that his or her actions were correct or that they made the right choice. We only have the details the poster provides....

    Not worth responding to those who can't express themselves properly. Over

    English prof + course issues....

    Asherah replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well personally, I'm not going to argue you with you, you asked for our opinions, and we gave them to you. The law of averages does not seem to apply to the course grading policies, in this case....

    English prof + course issues....

    Asherah replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the key to this whole question. The poster knew ahead of time and chose to skip the final. The original poster should take this as a learning experience and consider themselves thankful to...

    What RN programs are offered in Dallas, TX

    Asherah replied to degraypoole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can always google the state board of nursing, as I did, and they will provide you with a list of current programs:

    Clinic recommendations for required titers?

    Asherah posted a topic in California Nursing

    Per my pre-entrance health form, I will need titers draw for both Varicella IgG and Hep B (surface Ab). My PCP does not conduct these and as I am not currently in school I don't have a university...

    Columbia University ETP 2008

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for posting that, I'm sure a few folks did indeed learn exactly how the process works. I'm hoping that for those of us who can (and do plan on working) while in school can at least work on...

    Columbia University ETP 2008

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I suppose from your statement, my one sincere question is, I'm unsure as to how surprising it can be for anyone to sign promissory notes and not be aware of how much they will be paying per month. Or...

    Columbia University ETP 2008

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm posting here for two reasons...I know a few folks who will be starting the ETP program and two, I will also be entering the workplace with a large amount of student loans, so I don't see my...

    Columbia University ETP 2008

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You have no idea how financially prepared (or unprepared) people are to handle their loan balances, or how long they will choose to repay their loans. BTW, I applied to Columbia, but I am not...

    Columbia University ETP 2008

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    What would make you think current and future ETP students need to explain their personal financial planning to you? You've made your choice, you've voiced your opinion, now be done with it. If this...

    Columbia University ETP 2008

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's a big second from my perspective as well. If the poster was trying to make a point and raise awareness of their experience there was surely a more professional way to do so without becoming...

    Job Interview: Check Writing Legibility?

    Asherah replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if its necessarily that I've worked for banks for close to ten years, but I interpreted the title of this thread as if someone can write a check legibly....I'm a big

    Financial Aid question for those attending private schools

    Asherah replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lori, Yes, I do know how you feel as I heard of my acceptance in mid-February and waiting until early April to receive my financial aid package from Hopkins. I'm sorry that you will experience a...

    How Much in Student Loans Do YOU Have?

    Asherah replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

    I don't believe I scorned that belief system or way of life, just the way it is talked about and the end all be all and if you don't adhere to all of its principles something must be wrong with you....

    How Much in Student Loans Do YOU Have?

    Asherah replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

    I would argue that both a home and an education are assets, thus both are valuable to many and worth having debt associated with acquiring
