Tempest I'm a little nervous about the paying for this. An earlier post said the 33k was pretty standard so i'm not surprised that you got that. I haven't received my package yet. I hope i can get...
I hear you. The problem is my undergrad loans are bad enough! So, yeah i'm a bit nervous about taking on more. Most of me is screaming IF you don't take this opportunity you will regret it! So i...
I know, but I just did a payment calculator on 100,000 in loans for 20 years, and it was $750/month! How do you ever afford to buy a house, or have a life with that kind of payment??? Well i guess...
tanguera - i think the summer is going to be tough too, so i'm mentally preparing myself to not have a life for the next 12 months! I can't live it up too much tho, as I've got to save all money...
stiejunkie! Yay another Vermonter. I'm so happy. I'm still in Burlington. Grew up in Middlebury, and went to UVM as an undergrad too. when did you graduate? I finished up in 2004, but i started...

My position as case manager was funded through Grants from the CDC for HIV/AIDS prevention. But in Vermont at least, Hep C is much much more of an issue. I think our HIV infection rate is less than...
I did a premed undergrad, then spent all my time working in community mental health. The last three years I worked in a methadone clinic, and then as a case manager at a Syringe Exchange. I love...
I got in too... but i am from the east coast, so would prefer to stay over here. But, just in case - i also wanted to know what the class size is like and does the program have a good reputation. I...
I don't know - it was pretty torturous to get the email saying yay, then the second email saying NO that was a mistake, and then thinking you had to wait until the next day! Awful. I'm sorry...
Also, a lot of schools are implementing bridging programs for current MSNs who want the DNP.... so i think it's an additional year of coursework. Not too bad.... but we'll be grandfathered in so its...
Wow that is a big leap! You should go to the visiting day - because that is 10 days before the acceptance letters are due, so it would give you a chance to check it out a little at least. I've...
