  1. Stafford Loans with a previous degree?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Students

    Even if those credit hours have nothing to do with the degree you're working toward? I have a BA in Art History... man I'll be screwed if that happens to me. What did you do to pay for

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to PediLove2147's topic in General Nursing

  3. Discouraged and new to forum.

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to auntlala's topic in General Students

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to dazed&confused1129's topic in General Students

    I agree. I always thought I wanted a job in the art world; never thought I'd want to do anything else. Turns out I needed 2 years to work in a totally different field and realize that I had the...

  13. HELP please on understanding the metric system!

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to JaceyA.'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not necessarily, it can apply to any unit in the metric system (i.e. weight, volume, etc...). So it would be gram if you're talking about weight but liter if you're talking about volume.

  17. Dcccd financial aid woes....

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to working2b#1's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, I definitely plan to work at least part time! The thing about private loans though, is your school needs to "participate" in that particular program for you to get one. My school doesn't seem to...

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to working2b#1's topic in Texas Nursing

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to working2b#1's topic in Texas Nursing
