  1. Is nursing right for me?

    gnomik79 replied to EC18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dear EC18, When I took Chem in high school years ago, I had a horrible teacher and learned to hate Chemistry. Many years and a Bachelor's degree (in Math) later, I decided to go back to school to...

    Too bad... (about fin/aid)... But great! (about PDA) :) So, by signing up at the school, you somehow avoid paying $160 for "nursing central"? That's the one you got,

    You should qualify at least for Loans, if not grants... Plus, due to your age, you are considered "dependant" for financial aid purposes. Shouldn't that make you eligible for aid? Unless you parents...

    Thanks, Harparia.... Yes, in my case it will be much more. Since I won't be working and my childcare cost alone is about $10,000 a year (which is $20,000 cost while I am at school for the next 2 yrs)...

    Danielle, when Samantha says "everyone's financial aid will be different", I think she means to say, it will all depend on one's financial situation and status... For instance, if you are a obtaining...

    Oh, my God.... (sighing).. this is insane. So, I am confused: do we just wait on paying the $1395 orientation bill? I don't want to get dropped for

    gnomik79 replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, Samantha, I got a bill for $1395 today too! It didn't have a date by which it needs to be paid.... So, not sure what to do here

    Harparia, thank you so much for the tip about Wells Fargo loan.... I will definitely look into it. Is that they one you have used? If you don't mind me asking: how much did you find you had to...

    gnomik79 replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Hmm....:thnkg: it is confusing.... Yeah, 8 units is like 2 classes... It can't be that we need $12,500 for just 2 classes, can it? That sounds weird... It wouldn't surprise me if they gave you...

    gnomik79 replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Ok, is it 8 units or 8 courses?? Because it's a BIG difference...... I thought it was 8

    gnomik79 replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Danielle, when you say online classes, I think you mean the last 6-8 classes of the program, also called "community courses". My understanding is YES, you have clinicals while you have these...

    gnomik79 replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Ok... Here's what I was told. :behindpc: If you are a (3rd year +) undergrad, they give you a max of $12,500 per 8 courses. So, I'm not sure how many courses we have exactly but you can do the math....

    gnomik79 replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey, which one are you thinking of getting? There's like 3 and range in price from $230 to $400... bigger memory comes at a higher price

  20. National University San Diego

    gnomik79 replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Well... I did some research.... and it sounds like phones (with or without camera) may not be allowed in some clinical facilities. Since this would be problematic, I am thinking of investing in to...

    gnomik79 replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    I just looked it up and it says that the basic ipod touch has 8GB of memory... so, i think itouch is actually a good choice for this unbound medicine

    gnomik79 replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    I think you should be able to use itouch with no problem. Go the Unbound Medicine website and look at Support, where they talk about the devices you can use. You just have to make sure you have 41MB...
