  1. Use student loans to pay off debt??

    leenak replied to stigrl's topic in General Students

    I think many people apply for private loans. Are you getting subsidized loans or unsubsidized? The school should estimate your financial need and anything beyond that, you would need to look at...

  2. BHCC unfair admissions decision

    leenak replied to Ellis02136's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Honestly, they don't owe you an explanation and I see no reason that they would give you one. You could call them and ask generics such as, "in what cases would you accept a student who will finish...

  3. Affording pre-reqs and nursing school

    leenak replied to mina11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, does DC not have any CCs? I imagine if someone is looking at George Mason, they'd want you to go to NVCC but I've asked other people who got accepted to George Mason and they took their pre-reqs...

  5. Will I be shunned?

    leenak replied to studentgolfer's topic in General Students

    I am a bit of a loner but one thing that really helps me remember things is to explain them to others so I like studying with people sometimes. I'm perfectly happy to study by myself

  8. Facebook almost cost me my job

    leenak replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    leenak replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Do a little more self-discovery before I enter an Accelerated BSN program?

    leenak replied to iridium54's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But it's not though. I mean with an education, you expand your horizons which can last your entire lifetime and for many careers, such as nursing, education is only the means of entry. For a BSN,...

  12. Do a little more self-discovery before I enter an Accelerated BSN program?

    leenak replied to iridium54's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know, I'd never pay $45k for a car :) I would pay $45k for an education but I can understand hesitancy. It is an investment in your future life but I know quite a few people that have felt...

  16. Choosing specialties when applying to BSN/MSN dual degree programs

    leenak replied to amyf89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know both Johns Hopkins and Vanderbilt allow you choose your specialty after you are in the program and Johns Hopkins allows you to delay entry into the MSN portion. I would talk to the schools you...

  17. Do a little more self-discovery before I enter an Accelerated BSN program?

    leenak replied to iridium54's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I've never had to deal with crushing loans but I know many things in life don't go as planned. With my first degree, I had $10k in loans which were paid off. Now, I'm saving enough money...

  18. Do a little more self-discovery before I enter an Accelerated BSN program?

    leenak replied to iridium54's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it possible to delay your entry? Is the other school you were accepted at cheaper? There is nothing wrong with delaying a year to make sure you are sure. Would you be able to save money to put...

    leenak replied to jengold89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to talk to the specific nursing school. RN nursing programs are 2-3 years long and some, especially ASN programs, have long waiting

  20. Is it stupid to enroll in a BSN program rather than an ADN to enjoy college life..?

    leenak replied to TJ_vladin's topic in General Students

    I say go for it! I'm heavily considering a 2 year second degree BSN over an accelerated program partly to 'be a student' and also hopes of doing a summer externship. Plus with timing, it would only...

  21. Does your nursing school/hospital provide scrubs/uniforms?

    leenak replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    Why do you think med students would have provided scrubs? If the school provided scrubs, they would just charge you more

    leenak replied to yjshin328's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Gripes Galore...Need ADVICE!!

    leenak replied to TopSecret's topic in General Students

    Everything have said about the situation seems very subjective. You feel ignored and you see what you perceive to be favoritism. It doesn't sound like age discrimination to me. I've had people who...
