    Thank you for the feedback. I accepted the position at the nursing home and start on Tuesday. I had forgotten that this was a legal issue.. When hospitals train CNA's to be PCT's they can do...

    I did my FAFSA, and that should take about a week to process online. You should then get an award letter in the mail letting you know what you're eligible for. The PLUS loan can't be applied for until...

  12. Shadowing for M.D

    Holdsteady11 replied to rainkissedleaves's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The best thing you can do is volunteer work. Through that you could connect with different floors and shadow nurses there. Shadowing a doctor won't make your application "look good", but it might make...

    Holdsteady11 replied to rchampa3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This sounds like a disgruntled student to me. Once you are an RN you should be working at a hospital that offers tuition reimbursement - some at 100%. He said he is working at Loyola, which is a...

  21. Chamberlain College of Nursing

    Holdsteady11 replied to KAC123's topic in Chamberlain College

    Chamberlain is a for-profit school owned by DeVry. It's more pricey than most BSN programs because they expect you to take all the "pre-req.'s" there. For profit schools do not have the best...
