3. Do vocational schools accept Stafford loans?

   dark_light replied to intehflames's topic in Florida

   boubi12, I am a student at McFatter now. Trust me on this, there are no student loans (at all) at McFatter. If you already have existing loans, they will certify it -- meaning that they sign something so your lender can grant you a deferment on payme...

   dark_light replied to cementrose's topic in Florida

   Valencia Community College in Orlando has a Paramedic to RN transition program. I am still a LPN student, so I have not applied to their Advanced Standing Track nursing program. I've heard that there are no waiting lists, but don't know for sure. If ...

8. Does it ever annoy you when people say nursing school is easy?

   dark_light replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

   It totally annoys me when people say that. They cannot see the sacrifices we are making, or the stress we endure during nursing school. The worst thing I've heard was from an ex-boss, who didn't know I was pursuing admission into a nursing program. H...

11. Does anyone else wake up in the middle of the night for no reason?

    dark_light replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    OMG yes! I am also working full-time and attending a full-time nursing program. I find it hard to turn "off" my brain after a long day of work/school. Funny thing, the one day that I don't work or attend classes, I sleep like a baby! I tried melaton...

12. Need Sleep

    dark_light replied to MermiesGreatGig's topic in General Students

    I can totally relate. I work FT and attend a FT program, so I end up going to bed around 12:30am... and I just lay there thinking about things: lectures, upcoming tests, etc. I can't stop. I end up falling asleep around 3:00 am or so, only to wake ...

    dark_light replied to AllisonLP's topic in Florida

    The information on the unofficial review site is not crap or inaccurate... take it from someone who not only took the TEAS, but also scored in the 90th percentile nationally (after reviewing with the unofficial site I posted earlier). You should use ...
