All nursesI am currently attending the Henry Ford Community College Nursing program in Michigan and I will qualify to take the NCLEX for my RN licensing May of 2011. I am looking for a local health system that lends financial help to nursing students in return for contracted RN work upon completion of that students program and I am having trouble finding any information like that on any of the hospital websites. I have a solid academic track record and have worked two years as a home health aide with excellent references. But because I have very poor credit I cannot get private student loans and my Fed/Stafford loans are not going to cut it for my last secenty weeks because I will only be able to work a little. Please reply if you know of any michigan hospitals with such program(s) or if you have gotten a private student loan despite a really bad credit rating. Have a Happy New Year. Timothy Jett

Thank you, I will:yeah: try Sallie Mae.

please help, my program starts in january and i am having trouble qualifying for student loans beyond the ones secured via my fafsa due to my very poor credit rating (bankruptcy). my co-signer has excellent credit but that fact has not seemed to help. chase has already declined me, discover and wells fargo have told me that i will not qualify due to my poor credit. has anyone out there managed to secure private student loans with a poor credit or can i just count on working/begging/personal loaning my way through my program? thank you for any advice you can give.

You could always do what I did. I got my CNA to work in the med feild for a while to see if (and which job in particular) was a good fit for me.

Irish, I get the feeling that you are a personable individual and that is why the sterility of a dry red-tape rehire process seems unappealing to you. I would be willing to bet that you forged relationships while at this job. Approaching one or more of these individuals may be a more palatable approach for you even if all those persons can do is put in a good word for you to H.R. Go back Irish, where you were happy ; they miss you too.

i wish i was there calvn to pull that knife out of your back or at least check your rear for a boot print. from the info in your post i will guess that you will not lose your job and certainly not your license. also, you have posted about your relationship with the cnas but not about your relationship with your superiors and that may very well be who pulls your proverbial can from the fire. my advice is to let this blow over. since you have a problem with staff that cannot be bothered to do their job that means you are probably a nurse who works hard. (hence worth your weight in gold). and you are correct, a month is not 48 hours which gives you plausible deniability. no one really remembers what was or was said that long ago and who was or was not laughing at what. best of luck, and on a personal note, if i had a problem with your behavior i would tell you to your face. shame on all petty, backstabbing, overgrown children trying to pass themselves off as medical professionals.

I suggest erring on the side of caution.

despite what the adult film industry would have you believe i suspect these things simply do not happen very often. from what i understand everyone gains weight in nursing school and then we spend our career in a very un-sexy, exhausting, stress-filled, often oddly smelling environment. not exactly the ideal formula for naughty trysts. of course there are exceptions...:icon_hug:

:dancgrp:BEST OF LUCK!!!

the true measure of the civility of any society is how well it treats the most helpless of its citizenry.

soulofme swears by z-coils as does my ex-wife. i have had a great deal of success with rebock classicals and midlines. now that i am older wifey has me wearing merrils. my feet and ankles are very grateful to her.

Thank you very much for calling of us "Allnurses" exceptions. A general difference between brilliant, typical and remedial nurses may be the programs they qualify for. I am on the Deans list at HFCC and scored a 94% on my HESI. I was told that I would not get into the program at Macomb. Conversely, the college where I earned my NA (WCCCD) keeps losing its NLN cert and the grads of their program have to start back at square one to get their BS. My thoughts are that WCCCD may tend to turn out remedial nurses, my school may tend to turn out typical nurses and Macomb may tend to produce the academically savant nurses.

I believe you will treasure your time with your significant other even more, and the quality of your togetherness will improve. I also believe this challenge during this transitional phase of your life will either show you both that you should or should not be together in the long run.

Take any job while you hunt. Have you spoken to any agencys? I want to be a travel nurse when I graduate.

I have had the good fortune of being able to track down the cause of any episodes that I have had. It sounds like this a discussion you should be having with your doctor. Good Luck,and Happy New Year. I hope it is something simple like an MSG allergy.
