  12. Paying for school

    mcbismark replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want to look at your assumptions concerning the use of a 401K... There is a clause that allows you to use 401k monies for training for a *new* career without penalties. I am not a tax...

  13. U of AZ Interview for ASBSN!

    mcbismark replied to kirs's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I found the 2007 fact sheet that was given out at the Nov meetings. 187 applicants 79 admitted & enrolled. Avg GPA of Pre-reqs - 3.54 Avg Cumulative GPA - 3.29 No mention of student loss; but, I...

    mcbismark replied to kirs's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, there was. No, I haven't.... I think the lawyers (who were mentioned as not having signed-off on the contracts) probably objected to each of us getting to see the contracts for the other 3...

    mcbismark replied to nmh586's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. U of AZ Interview for ASBSN!

    mcbismark replied to kirs's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi John, I sat in front and didn't get a good look at the gender mix. What do you think the percentage was? (Did you notice there were some Dads and SOs accompanying some of the applicants? I did......

    mcbismark replied to kirs's topic in Arizona Nursing
