  1. Pensacola Junior College?

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in Florida Nursing

    yeah, I don't know why they don't model after JDCC, everyone that comes out of JDCC only says good things about that program. Can't say the same for PJC. Also, the administration did change recently....

  2. Pensacola Junior College?

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm starting in January too...I was really worried about this program. A lot of people flunk out...BUT, there are people that graduate so it can be done. I try to see it as "if she/he can do it, so...

  4. Is this a bad idea? (loan debt) Need advice!

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your input! This is a good idea, but to be a CNA it takes a 6 week certification course. I make more than CNA's now, so there's no way becoming a CNA would allow me to save some money....

  6. How much is too much for student loans?

    myty23 replied to jadedgreeneyes's topic in General Students

    i'm not trying to be rude or anything, but i think this is a really closed minded way of looking at it. yes, debt sucks, any kind of debt...but sometimes it's inevitable. sometimes it's the only way...

  7. Is this a bad idea? (loan debt) Need advice!

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I'm feeling a little better now. Michellendylan: I am in the exact same boat you are in, there is no prospect of me making more money anytime soon and my job just barely pays the bills as it...

  8. Is this a bad idea? (loan debt) Need advice!

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I also plan on paying off the line of credit (if maxed out) within two years after I get my first RN job. Right now I'm used to bringing home about 1700/month, new grads here bring home...

  9. Is this a bad idea? (loan debt) Need advice!

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Students

    I know...and I wanted to hear the truth, that's why I asked. I guess I just hoped for a more positive answer! :) Just out of curiosity, what would you all consider an acceptable amount of student loan...

  10. Is this a bad idea? (loan debt) Need advice!

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Students

    Wow....I guess I can just give up on my dreams then. There's no other way. Did I mention that this is the worse case scenario, assuming me and my husband can't find part time jobs? But it is still a...

  11. Is this a bad idea? (loan debt) Need advice!

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Students

    I just applied for a hostess/food service position with a local hospital, PRN...I'm thinking maybe I'll go up there tomorrow with my resume. I would think that they would consider me since I'm going...

  12. Is this a bad idea? (loan debt) Need advice!

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your input. I would love to be able to work while in school, but my job is not flexible. I work 9-5 and school hours are during the day. I have small children and daycare hours are also...

  13. Is this a bad idea? (loan debt) Need advice!

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your reply! I got turned down for private student loans, so that's not an option and it's not credit cards, it's a line of credit and the interest is 8.75 fixed, which is better than most...

  14. Pensacola Junior College?

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in Florida Nursing

    Laylani, Wow...your post is really eye opening. I have been back and forth about going to PJC. I want to choose it because it's closer, but I keep getting pushed in the other direction by peoples...

  15. Is it more of an accomplishment to be a younger nurse?

    myty23 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 25 and have 2 kids under 3 and I probably won't finish nursing school until I'm 29 (if things work out the way I plan). I had plenty of time to finish nursing school straight out of high school...

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in Florida Nursing

  18. A&PII Lab without Lecture, is it possible??

    myty23 posted a topic in General Nursing

    It's been about 4 years since I took A&PII. At that time, I withdrew from the lab (I wasn't nearly as motivated back then and did some stupid things). I passed the lecture with an A. Now I'm...

  19. Is the pay really that bad??

    myty23 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've read a couple of people on this site saying stuff like "Don't go into nursing for the money" and "Don't expect to get rich with nursing", etc. I'm curious as to why some are saying this. I've...

  20. Night and Weekend Program???

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    It's an RN program and it lasts 5 semesters. From what I understand, the sponsoring hospital actually selects the students it wants to be in the program and the clinicals are mostly done at that...

  21. Is the pay really that bad??

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    She's paying just as much into taxes as you are, so in a sense she's paying for herself to have those "free lunches and health care". Your taxes go to much more than just paying for her children to...

  22. Is the pay really that bad??

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know who you are talking to. But in general, people don't usually get formal with their writing on forums and blogs. It's the internet, not a school essay. Now I do agree that simple spelling...

    Beachbum, I do understand what you are saying. My mom was a single mom with three kids as well and I know how tough it is. I have 2 kids, however I am married and have the help from my husband. He's a...

  24. Is the pay really that bad??

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, I'm a she. Just thought I'd point that out since somebody called me a he. Not that it matters or anything.

  25. Is the pay really that bad??

    myty23 replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    No I didn't go to school for my "banking" job, right now I'm trying to complete my schooling to be a nurse. Why are you asking these questions about my "banking" job as if I'm proud of my position or...
