    Working?

    manna replied to Darchild77's topic in General Nursing

    Me! But I'm no a nurse, still a student - but I work full-time days (8-5, Mon-Fri) as an engineering clerk at a heavy equipment manufacturer. When I get bored, I surf allnurses (mostly - all day...

    How do you pay for school?

    manna replied to richard13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Jewel - you shouldn't be labeled a dependent per the FAFSA since you'll be in grad school (that's one of the criteria for distinguishing dependent-from-independent, along with marriage, age,

    Can a college refuse to send your transcripts?

    manna replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if I sounded rude - I'll admit that I misread your post (logged on to the site from work and I'm guilty of often scanning threads and hastily replying). How'd you pay the tuition before - if it...

    HELP doing a speech for one of my classes.....

    manna replied to nicki984's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you're giving a speech tomorrow? Is this a little last minute planning, or did you not have any advance warning that it was due? LOL :) Sorry I'd answer your questions, but I'm not a nurse...

    Can a college refuse to send your transcripts?

    manna replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Some schools do.. I had a debt with a big university here. About 6 years ago, they ended up sending my students loans/grant money back to the banks after I withdrew and after they'd given me a...

    Can a college refuse to send your transcripts?

    manna replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Is $700 the full tuition amount? Most colleges that I know of (I've attended five different ones LOL) have a policy that states if you drop by X date, you're not liable for any of the charges, if you...

    Yep, that was my understanding too - you can't digest it, so it just passes on through and out.

    Personality Test

    manna replied to Greer Hoffmann's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen one along those lines for med students before (I think it was a quiz to help picking a specialty based on personal preference/ability), but I don't remember where it was, and not sure how...

    Questions about becoming a RN

    manna replied to steelwoman's topic in General Nursing

    What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    manna replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't know about the legalities, but I'd never advise an NP to seek work in Mississippi. 99% of the doctors I've heard mention NPs (or heard by word of mouth from my brother who is a...

    Medical School after NP?

    manna replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Most of the DOs I've encountered say they don't get the chance to use OMM that often in their practice. That's a shame, really. In my experience MDs are an elitist bunch, so it's no surprise they...

    Medical School after NP?

    manna replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with Rapheal and think he/she had a very valid point - medical school is such a huge sacrifice (which I'm sure you know since if I'm not mistaken your wife is an MD?) and if you don't want it...

    PRIVATE school vs. PUBLIC school

    manna replied to chuckcamp's topic in General Students

    I think it would vary from school to school, it's hard to make broad statements about colleges in general. From what I understand, the private schools near here actually have higher admissions...

    My husband is determined that I will fail as a nursing student because I don't have a lot of God given common sense, but I'm fairly book-smart. I think I may just have to work harder - we all have...
