  2. any probs with sallie mae private loans

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to rokbe's topic in General Students

    That is what I find frustrating. You can call banks and ask for their requirements, but they all say the same. "I cannot give you an answer until I check your credit." Have you checked with PNC...

  3. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a reason why we take Pharmacology. I hope you're not so acidic in your responses to the staff. If so, then I can understand why they are

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

  5. Moral/Ethical Advice

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to JMMagana18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Students

    You're not playing devil's advocate. You are simply reiterating my point. There is nothing wrong with wanting to become a nurse because of a good salary. I do think that it takes a person wanting...

  9. Moral/Ethical Advice

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    Nurses are held to a much higher standard than the public. We are in positions of trust and honor. Why do you think we undergo extensive background checks and requirements to become nurses? The...

  15. Ashamed of nursing school

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Students

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to bringtherain112's topic in General Students

    When I took the Maternal Newborn ATI on 06/30/2010, the National Mean was 71.8%. I think if you are at or slightly above the national mean, you get the level

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to forgive me, but I am a little confused. Your financial aid will not allow you to retake a course if you received a C? If you don’t mind me asking, who gave you that information? It is to...
