    Loans for living expenses?!

    Asherah replied to rockexrolloh's topic in General Students

    Amen to that, sister! As long as a student acts responsibly and budgets accordingly to account for necessary expenses only (e.g. not new cars, LV bags and lobster dinners), loans for living expenses...

    Student Loan question

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

    Your biggest asset is your school's financial aid office/counselors, they will be able to point you in a more specific direction regarding what you may qualify for, I'm sure you aren't the only...

    Asherah replied to d0rkothee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first MECN cohort began in Fall 2006 and will not graduate until spring quarter 2008 (May 2008), thus there are not yet any graduates of this program officially. There are a few existing threads...

    Kens and all, I'm not heading to Yale, but I've been doing some preliminary research into private loans. This site has a pretty comprehensive list of private lenders which can be used...

    Wrong for any school to charge $90,000 for the pre-nclex one year curriculum

    Asherah replied to Miss Mab's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Speaking as an individual that may or may not take time off between the BSN and MSN portions of the program, I am definitely trying to gain some insight into the working environment at JH Hospital, as...

    Asherah replied to Miss Mab's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Kens, So you've definitely decided on Yale, then? If so, congrats, I'm excited for the both of us! Do they have an Accepted Students day or a meet and

    Wrong for any school to charge $90,000 for the pre-nclex one year curriculum

    Asherah replied to Miss Mab's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In my opinion, I was not entirely dismissing your post, however outlining my point of view of why I disagree...far from kneejerk, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't trying to...

    Any Fall 2008 UCLA - MECN Program Applicants out there?

    Asherah replied to NSFA08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I didn't redo the pre-reqs, only took em' once, but made sure I had everything done upon application time (rather than In Progress) as I thought they would strongly emphasize success in all of the...

    Wrong for any school to charge $90,000 for the pre-nclex one year curriculum

    Asherah replied to Miss Mab's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Unless you live in Southern California, as I do, where 99% of all CCs are lottery-based, Cal State Universities are impacted and some folks wait 2-3 years before a random number generator picks your...

    question about transfer credits

    Asherah replied to picurn10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Again, you may want to research the school's academic policies a bit further, for your own sake (see below). As any other college I've even known, they will indeed want your previous transcripts,...

    question about transfer credits

    Asherah replied to picurn10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school itself will determine what transfers and what does not by performing course equivalency determinations, the important point being, you must allow them access to all transcripts to determine...

    question about transfer credits

    Asherah replied to picurn10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is horrible advice. Again, please meet with a counselor for the school you intend to enroll in before you follow the advice above. Every school I've ever applied to has required submission of...

    Paying $40 K for 2 yr program

    Asherah replied to hillsrus4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    RNP, I don't know all of the details, you may want to check the Columbia ETP posts, but essentially as I understand most of the accepted students are offered a $20,000 scholarship to offset...

    I'll be 28 when I begin at JHU in Fall 2008, started pre-reqs at 25, previously graduated with a BA Psychology in Spring 2004. I'm resigned to the fact that I'm a perpetual student. My BSN will take...
