    cabanaboy replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Many banks have supplemental student loans. If I understand correctly, they will loan you the difference between what your need is and what your federal loans give you. I would call your bank and...

    cabanaboy replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado Nursing

    What advice was I giving? I was just sharing some factual information. Isn't that what this website is for? Was anything I said not accurate? How do you know I'm not considering DSON? As it turns...
