    100k in loans worth it?

    CrunchRN replied to ravindram's topic in General Nursing

    And then you have to consider the fact that it is possible you may not make it in nursing school or find out you absolutely hate it. You don't want to get a ton of debt and bail. See if you can get...

    CrunchRN replied to ravindram's topic in General Nursing

    CrunchRN replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
