  1. Suzanne, do I need to change my allnurses name?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to SarasotaRN2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Silverdragon, I was going to PM Suzanne, but I figured that she probably gets so many PMs it may have gotten lost. Also, I figured that if she couldn't, someone such as yourself could also steer...

  7. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    SarasotaRN2b replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    It is somewhat of a need based, but they don't go by EFC. I believe the income limit was $40K a year. They will want six months of pay stubs which they will multiply by 2. So while someone may not...

  8. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    SarasotaRN2b replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    Actually from what I know about the WIA is that you can get it if you have Pell, but the Pell will be used first. Sometimes the Pell will be enough to pay for everything and WIA isn't used at all....

  11. How many years does it take to become a Neonatal N and what degree is required?

    SarasotaRN2b replied to gymnagirl44's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Okay, you get a nursing degree, not an RN degree. You receive the RN only after you pass the boards. You can graduate nursing school without ever getting your RN, but you can't get your RN until you...

    SarasotaRN2b replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

    SarasotaRN2b replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    SarasotaRN2b replied to newhere_noname's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
