Just curious, do most of you have an BSN or Associates?

This all makes me sooo nervous that everyone's having a hard time finding work. I start my nursing program this June!

I was looking into the smart loan too but you have to pay interest while in school so that wasn't the best option for me. I wish there were more options for 2nd degree students! Good luck with your program!

Hi aerorunner80, If you don't mind me asking do you work in the New England area? Also, I'm curious as to what scholarship you're talking about? Is it the Nursing Forgiveness loan?? Thanks, NeNe25

Hi Honeymist, YAY!!!! Glad you were able to get it cheaper. I like that the rate drops once you graduate. Good Luck with your program! :-)

Hey! That's great you bought all your books and under $300! I just started looking and will buy mine soon. Totally confused on that email too! I already registered and I think my schedule is the same as yours. We don't get too many choices. I am so e...

No, me neither!

There's also a MEFA loan that's fixed. I think the interest rate is around 8.89%. Not sure if it covers extra costs such as living expenses or just tuition.

7.25% competitive no cosigner, no fees whatsoever. Not sure if the discover rate is competitive or fixed. The rate also drops when you graduate and if you do the automatic payments...in total it almost drops by a whole percentage. I would call to see...

Honeymist- I saw that you went with Discover for private loans. Have you checked out Wells Fargo medcap loan?? That's who I went with and the interest rate is cheaper. No fees at all.

No idea....I haven't even started looking but should probably start this weekend. If you find any great deals...please do share.

Hey Matt- Hope to see you on 5/8 if not I'll see you on the 18th. I can't wait to start. I'm ready to go..just need books.

oxojoyoxo2- did you hear anything yet??

Hi Owen, I was wondering the same thing. I'm thinking maybe it's not decided yet or maybe we'll get to choose. I can't believe one of the classes requires 6 books!!!! All I see is $$$$$ signs...lol!

Hi Owen- I signed up for the May 8th CPR class...see you then! FM2847-Did you sign up for the CPR class yet?

oxojoyoxo2, I haven't received anything either. I called today and was told not everyone was taken off the waitlist. So I'm assuming we're still on??? Who knows...the guy I spoke to wasn't too helpful. It could be up to the start of classes when we ...

oxojoyoxo2- I'm waitlisted as well and haven't received a letter or anything. I would have thought I'd get something by now.

Hi, I've heard nothing but great things about Simmons. Their staff is so helpful and relates to you on a personal level which I like. You're not just another application. I actually applied to Simmon's but withdrew my app. this past Friday as I can'...

Well I have a car and I'm sure others do too. Depending on our schedule I'm sure we can always carpool.

Hey Owenc, Thanks for getting back to me. I was looking into CPR World in Canton near my job but I'll take a look at Carney too. Did she specify which CPR class we needed? I'm assuming just BLS but there's also ACLS, PALS ect.

Hi Owenc, I received the same exact letter on Fri. I called and the woman I spoke w/said she thinks it was automatically generated but as accelerated nursing students we shouldn't get this. Anyways, they're looking into it and will follow up w/an em...

This is a great link for student loans MedCAP Alternative Loan for Health Professionals https://www.wellsfargo.com/student/undergrad/med_alter/

Definitely not...I wish I could just write out a check and be done w/it!!!! I can't keep my job throughout the summer either as its fulltime. Not sure what I'm going to do. I was contemplating getting my realestate license so I can show apts on my ow...

Hi Owenc, My letter says classes start on June 1st. I thought this was weird because I also heard that last year it started in May and it seems like most accelerated programs start in May. Hmmmmmmm I definitely have to take out loans and I'm scared!...

Hi Fm2847, My acceptance letter states the Summer 2010 session but doesn't call out the accelerated program but the accelerated program is the only one that starts in the summer. You should call today to make sure your signed up for the right progra...
