  6. Is being in debt with student loans really that bad?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN posted a topic in General Students

    I have read a lot of different posts on the website about student loan debt and thought to share my plan with everyone simply as "food for thought". Having a significant amount of debt can leave a...

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Tony1790's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Tony, I thought that since you were retired military, you would receive aid from the government. That changes everything and is really unfortunate since the government is offering to pay off loans...

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Tony1790's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Here is something to consider: 1) The money you will receive to pay for your education will be in the form of grants provided by the federal government, right? Therefore, you will have no...

  11. Help with this dos calc conversion

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Student4Now's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If the answer in the back of your book states 60, it is referring to the number of mL. Since there are 15mL in one T and it is asking how many in 4, the answer would be 60mL. Perhaps the book meant...

  17. Will I ever be accepted?!??!!?!?!?!!!?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to want to do good 86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
