  1. Army Nurse Corps Reserves...

    side note: every time I see on this forum or hear in discussion that someone will 'lose' 28% of their loan payment or lump sum to taxes it is ALWAYS astonishment and disbelief. That being said I do...
  2. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    Belairnp, I really liked several of your points. I am about to start my BSN and aspire to become an NP in the future. However you have voiced several areas of concern - that are evident event at my...
  3. The College Network

    Interesting that Complain to much has 4 posts.. all of which are advocating the TCN and made within a single hour... Either a very narrow forum user or posting with an agenda and thus spouting
  4. loan repayment does not occur until after you are in the navy - so it cannot be used while in school. I know in the army you get your fist installment at the end of your first year in service... the...
  5. #1 yes, bsn will be needed. #2 no 35 will be fine #3 yes there are several current options.. check out the navy loan repayment and the navy nurse candidate program. At this time you need to enter a...
  6. Working for a VA gov't entity?

    Try looking here: https://allnurses.com/forums/f57/ on top thread titled VA.
  7. Your a nurse--You should know better!!

    Seditary is safe... no
  8. Fastest way to ADN or BSN

    I'd recommend taking pre-reqs that will work for ADN program and doing that if at all possible. Many attempt the LVN path with a plan to become an ADN but get comfortable and life comes along and it...
  9. Emergency Room NPs?

    tracelane, do you have recommendations on a website or journal that might show state by state their preference for NP cert to work in the ER?
  10. You can join as a new grad - or as an experienced nurse. New grads need letters of rec from teachers / supervisors RNs need letters of rec from supervisors both are options... i'm not aware of a...
  11. Fastest way to ADN or BSN

    sdais, PA: http://www.drexel.edu 11month accelerated BSN LA: http://www.ololcollege.edu 10month accelerated ADN both are for those with previous BS or BA.
  12. army nurse training

    life, well these are simplified questions - we can only guess, here is mine. If you are FLWA and since the critical care course is at FLWA, Brook and Walter reed - I would say you have a 99% of taking...
  13. Drexel ACE Program

    Hidden, lol - i hope loan limits are not increased.. they are purely based off the cost of the program and expected costs associated ie room and board... any more increase just gives us more rope...
  14. Medically Disqualified

    Best of luck - and on to Plan B :) ~
  15. Indecisive: Army Nurse Corps

    Other option run, is if you plan to get in the army and do your BSN... as long as you know you are a good candidate (ie you can pass physical, no law issues etc) then perhaps 'bet' that you will be...
  16. Drexel ACE Program

    elora, FAFSA for the 09/10 school year is available 1JAN.... I have seen several previous posters (and myself) and the amount of authorized loans has been the same... as we are all 5th year...
  17. army nurse training

    Hah. Lifeafter- so true.. it figures that I omit my previous duty station and my #1 choice.. lol. FLWA is a great place - if anyone has any questions I'd be happy to give my 2
  18. Drexel ACE Program

    hidden, for the 09/10 school year we have to wait until 1 January to fill out the FAFSA. v/r btw - from everyone I talk to the loans have all been the same unless by some miracle you get a grant. I...
  19. volunteering for deployment

    -Making the 'assumption' that you will attend OBC and then either be on rear-d of unit or deploy at later date. If you don't have kids - its kind of nice to be dual deployed and not having to worry...
  20. student loan deferment for active military

    midlife, that was my fault - its a free function, but only after you reach 15 posts.. so when you get there feel free to let me know your status and I'd be happy to provide any feedback that may
  21. student loan deferment for active military

    Problem with the deferment is interest still accrues (unless on subsidized Stafford loans)... and for active duty only applies when you deploy.. and lets face it - being deployed is about the best...
  22. Army CRNA

    .reply is in
  23. Officer Commission and age limits

    midlife, if you like you can PM me your email and I can give some general advise. I went through OCS to become a commissioned officer which is something that would be a possible option for you. Yes...
  24. Military Pay Off Loans

    The loan repayment incentive for 'nurses' pays back the nursing degree. You have mentioned 'enlisting' in a non-nurse capacity and you could use the army's loan repayment program for that if it's what...
  25. Officer Commission and age limits

    I advise you to rethink this plan. If you want to be an RN and you want to be in the Army - then go to school and get your RN and then join the Army. Your plan above is highly suspect and IMHO would...
