  1. Student Loan Reform

    Mommaof3 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    s.amdt.3564 amends: h.r.4872 (which is the "fixes" bill that amended 3590) sponsor: sen grassley, chuck [r-ia] (submitted 3/23/2010) (proposed 3/23/2010) amendment purpose:... to make sure the...

  2. Student Loan Reform

    Mommaof3 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely, read the bill. As for me getting in some catastrophic accident I can only hope that will not be. As I stated earlier I've never been without health insurance and like many Americans have...

  3. Student Loan Reform

    Mommaof3 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The fact is simply that I have yet to hear any "pros" from this bill. I have yet to hear any of this "evidence" you mention. Your saying that I am only considering myself in this is absolutely...

  4. Student Loan Reform

    Mommaof3 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The funny thing here is I have heard no facts from you either. The truth of the matter is we are both simply speculating on the possible outcomes this "reform" will have on the American public. I...

  5. Student Loan Reform

    Mommaof3 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL. Glad you're not taking offense. I completely disagree with alot of what you're saying, comparing apples to oranges for example. The point is not so much a pride thing about taking a "hand out" as...

  6. Student Loan Reform

    Mommaof3 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But do you see the dilemma in a bill generated to help soften the blow to the American publics wallet but it is already having the reverse effect? Or for instance in my particular situation, I carry...

  7. Student Loan Reform

    Mommaof3 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry you misunderstood my Aetna points, no, unfortunately I don't see it as a "last ditch effort", but once again my lack of abundant knowledge on the situation may be limiting my ability to see...

  8. Student Loan Reform

    Mommaof3 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for your input. I do appreciate your opinion. I am not a fan of the law or how it originated. I wouldn't consider myself right or left winged, I'm only interested in the effects that such a law...

  9. High School Student who needs advice :)

    Mommaof3 replied to Highschoolfuturenurs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are eligible, take some concurrent classes that you will need to satisfy your pre-requisites. I'm not familiar with those particular schools, however; look at their websites and see what...

  10. Student Loan Reform

    Mommaof3 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My understanding is that FDL interest rates are significantly higher than private institution interest rates currently (like 6.8% FDL vs 4.5% private) so, I'm asking honestly not snidely, how will...

  11. Student Loan Reform

    Mommaof3 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to stray slightly off the intended topic as I don't consider myself educated with it as well as I should be to form a logical opinion. What I would like to know is how a "healthcare bill" is...

  13. Is there anything I can work on before starting NS?

    Mommaof3 replied to missdixie023's topic in General Students

    Im in the same boat as you! I did buy a pharmacology book as well as Nursing Fundamentals Success book (to get a feel for NCLEX style questions that everyone complains about!). I bought them on Amazon...

    Mommaof3 replied to rjsloan29's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I AM!!!! EEEkkk....turned my app in at the beginning of Feb so I already feel like its been FOREVER! The deadline is finally this friday and Im sooo excited. The guy that took my app said they were...

  15. Did your Nursing counselor give you hope you will get in and you did? (or didnt)

    Mommaof3 replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

  16. Did your Nursing counselor give you hope you will get in and you did? (or didnt)

    Mommaof3 replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

  17. Did your Nursing counselor give you hope you will get in and you did? (or didnt)

    Mommaof3 replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    I'll let you know in about 8-12 weeks...my nursing advisor said I "should have no problems getting in the program" but also said she can't guarantee because its all dependent on the applicant pool etc...

  18. Platt college?

    Mommaof3 replied to Korinth's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Yeah its definitely craziness! Your friend could go back to Platt for her LPN to RN....and it will only cost another $50,000!! :) lol...total craziness! But the reason they would have to start over is...

  19. Does platt have the '5 year old rule' for pre-reqs?

    Mommaof3 replied to afranklin's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I also know that OCCC gave me credit for as well as preference points for classes I took back in '02 for my Fall 2010 application! So I'm thinking there's no 5 year rule at OCCC

  20. Can a nursing 2nd semester student work as a CNA or LPN

    Mommaof3 replied to NurseJess125's topic in General Students

    Here in OK we can work as "nurse partners" after the 1st semester of NS with no additional schooling or clinicals. Think it all depends on your state and/or

  21. The Dreaded Wait for the Letter :(

    My deadline for the nursing application (to enter the fall of 2010) isn't until April 2nd!! And then we have 6-8 weeks to wait...so I'm looking at the beginning of June before I get my letter...and...

  22. The wait is BRUUUUTAAAAL

    Mommaof3 replied to careerchanger22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My application for Fall 2010 start isn't even due until April 2nd, and then it takes 6-8 weeks to find out!!!! Although my application is filled out and ready to go with all documents I haven't turned...

  23. DEMAND OF NURSES

    Mommaof3 replied to dark40's topic in General Students

    Private colleges (i.e. Platt) do not require prereqs however; they are not accredited by the NLNAC but they are approved by the BON. In addition, they are extravagantly
