If you paid $500 per month for a little over 16 years, you could pay the $100,000 in tuition off. However, this does not take into account the interest you would accrue. Not only would it take longer...
Jersey Nursing Girl, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been searching for several weeks now for a NJ online A&P class. I signed up for a more expensive class at a PA community...
Hi, I've read through this board several times searching for SUNY Downstate info, but much of what I've found is rather old. Could anyone offer more recent info on how many students they admit into...
Thank you, Durable! You've made my day! I also have a BA in English. I'm so excited to become a nurse and am glad you're working as one. Sounds wonderful!! One more question: Are all of the clinical...
Yes, I'm concerned, since I'm applying to Jeff for next May. I know the economy's down now, but I know it will improve over time. It's still very disconcerting,
Thanks for all these fantastic responses! This has been tremendously helpful! As for the community service, I would love to volunteer in a hospital, but every one I've seen requires several hours a...

Pace has 2 locations and I think you only attend 1 location. I believe one's in West Chester County, the other down by Wall St. My roommate's friend went through their program, but I've never talked...
I think someone else on this board said that with all the fees NYU adds (student fees, activity fees, graduation fees, etc.), plus books and supplies, it comes out to around $80k for the program....
I told them I had a 3.4 and they said that was the average of their current class. When I attended their open house, they said they also weigh heavily your statements (I think there are 4) because...
Hi, I'm strongly considering a career in nursing (and have started my pre-reqs), since I don't like sitting at a desk and staring at a computer all day with minimal interaction with people. I have a...
Thank you! By the time I start nursing school, I will be in my 30s. I'm glad to hear I'll be in similar company! I've never heard of Corrections Nursing, so I appreciate your
