  1. Loan process

    kgle replied to kgle's topic in Indiana Nursing

    kgle replied to kgle's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Hey Melissa, I was told that it would take about 7-10 business days for them to get the check and probably another 7-10 days to receive it in the mail. Of course, it may be shorter, but I would count...

    kgle replied to LAURAASHLEY2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
