My current clinical instructor is now telling us to rub or massage after giving insulin. She made another student do this today. In postconference, myself, along with others, disagreed with this. Everything we've learned, all our books say not to do ...

I'm really looking for people currently in one of the above RN programs or former students of them. How many times did you apply before you got in? Also, did you ever know how many times your fellow students applied and/or what their grades were (I a...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I am attending an informational meeting next week to find out more about the LVN program, also they tell you that you "have" to go to this meeting before you apply anyway. And they told me there are still spots fo...

alternative loan option is when you apply for a private student loan for what fed grants and fed loans won't cover. you will need a cosigner.

Plaza, did you do your DON interview? How are things moving along for Stockton?

No problem! I know this whole process has been frustrating for all of us, it's good to be able to come here and share experiences: )

I thought I posted it before, but the total tuition (including books, uniforms, supplies, that stuff) is $28,450 (minus $20 enrollment fee to make it $28,430). As for out of pocket, I'd imagine gas money to get to school/clinicals (kind of a duh), an...

Jen, did you get an "invite " in the mail or are they just calling people about orientation? Carol didn't give me the time last I was there, just the date. Good to know time now!

Yes, from what I've been told. Almost there!

yes, they will call you in again at some point to redo fafsa stuff and update it to see what else you can get. i don't remember exactly when she said they call you back in, but they do. don't worry:)

btw, since i am 26 and have a dependent and don't have a lot of income, i qualify for pell/seog/calgrant/all that stuff ashlie, maybe only you qualified for 9500 in financial aid? because that wouldn't apply to everyone. did your guy really tell you ...
