lowayu

Hey everyone, i I just moved to Southern California form New York and I'm tying to find a per diem home health job. I have 2 years of inpatient med-Surg experience but no HH experience. A small and new agency approached me and offered me per diem RN job but they only offer me $40 each visit and $50 for initial evals, driving usually take 30-40 minutes each way, and mileage is not reimbursed. I don't know what the average pay is and don't want to be taken advantage of. I know HH nurses get pay per visit, but I don't know if this rate is too low. Can somebody give me some advise? Or from their personal experience how I can approach this? Thanks in advance

1classyrn, i'm taking the NYP pharm exam in 3 days. Is there suppose to be sheet of meds i should know?? is it possible that you share that sheet? my email is [email protected] I really need to pass this pharm exam in order to do my preceptorship there. thank you so much in advance!

hey, we are consider as a undergrad this first year right? so the federal loan interest will be 4.5% then. correct? Also, the message from the federal loans, it's the exam same thing for subsidized and unsubized. i thought unsubsized means interest is accuring while you're in school, but both of them says no interest if you're at least a half-time student. why is that? Lastly, does anyone know what the policies and interest rates are for the student private loan on the finaid package? there's nothing on there about the private loan. Thanks everyone.

Question: the accpeted application page is up. what is the login and password?

how come FAid doesn't have anything explanations on the private loans?? what the interest rate? I think the 6.8% for the unsubsidized federal loan is really high. Anybody got lower rates anywhere else? also... what exactly is the UNI? isn't that the same as our Student ID number that starts with C00......??

wow, you get federal loans also? dang. how did you get that?

yay got FAid package. But I have ONE QUESTION: There's the student and parent contribution, there's the SON scholarship, and now there's the student private loan. but there's still 40K left... am i suppose to go find my own loans now? or are they suppose to give me MORE loans? where am i going to find that much money?

i know CaliforniaHopeful! now i have to overnight fedex it to them. they are just asking us to spend more and more money. i think they offer summer right now, but the contract is renewable.

yeah! sfrntobe! but i got it today! but the submission date is 4/14.... today is 4/12.... what the heck! now i have to spend another $23 to overnight it to them?!?!!

i received an email that I got a housing assignment in Bard Hall. does that mean i got in the dorms? anyone else with me?

i did my fafsa... but no respond about SON scholarship. super worried. tried calling the financial aid office a few times, but no one is there. so i left 2 msgs with no reply. how come i never got the email regarding SON scholarship???

quick question everyone, i know there's the SON scholarship, but does it come automatically when we file for FAFSA? or is it separate and we have to write a paper about it and turn it in? also, because i've never done loans before, after filing for FAFSA, do they offer enough loans to you to cover all the tuition and expenses? or would i have to go out to banks to find my own?

what neighborhood is safe to live in?

hrm. interesting. then i guess i'll just turn in my housing application, and hope i'll win the lottery. I assume Bard Hall is the closest building to the School of Nursing. I was looking at the rates for student housing, and they're averaging $700/month... is it any cheaper off campus?

thanks for the quick update. I live around the bay area in California... how do i proceed to find off campus housing? craigslist? i wish there's a student housing listing. i'll feel safer to look for off campus housing there.... Also, if anyone can help me with this: i was on the columbia webpage, http://cait.cumc.columbia.edu:88/dept/nursing/admissions/index.html# and i saw a tab on the left that said "Accepted Applicants" so i went under there and clicked on ETP students. But i can't log in with my admissions username and password. is there a special code for it? i thought maybe there's be some centralized system of what we have turned in and what we haven't turned in yet.
