I'm a new grad interviewing on both floors in the next few days. I really enjoyed both floors during my clinical rotations. I love cardiac, which draws me to tele. On the other hand I'm very passionate about oncology. Just wondering what experience m...

Thank you everyone for the awesome insight! I guess well see how the interviews go!

I am officially applying to carrington college in Reno! I know that nursing is what i'm meant to do! My interview went terrific... They take 32 people, and I was told 350 were going to take the hesi a2. I know a good chunk of those people might not e...

How did you get that list?! Is it on a computer by chance so it can be emailed?! :) and yes I have facebook... That sounds like an amazing idea!! If you do in fact need to buy more time is suggest doing it the way I did. Lol. Weight off my shoulders....

Thanks! I've seen a few people wearin different bottoms that were sti grey since I'm sure you can get those cheaper at a scrub store. But I will definitely be needing more than 2 pairs. That's way too much laundry! I had my meeting today and just let...

I can't wait to try them on! That's the only real thing I'm excited about at this point lol. My mom is super irritated and keeps saying that's no way to run a school. I just don't see what good comes out of keeping information from us. I'd much rathe...

And my fafsa is going to increase substantially next year... So hopefully that'll help too. But of course they don't take that into consideration because everything is estimated.

I think I'm just going to tell them that family is helping me and I'm using savings. I think it would be absolutely ridiculous for them to question me even more or require some kind of bank statement. This whole thing is making my mother quite irrita...

I was hoping that saying a relative was going to help me pay would allow me to register, that way I'd have more time to figure out what I'm actually going to do.

I was totally going to do that, but in order to apply for the carrington loan you have to have a letter of rejection from a private loan. I just think its so ridiculous that it's this huge serious thing, with like a weeks notice.

Because i'm covered until that 3rd semester starts too...

Yeah, unfortunately it's not. I'm submitting the app because when they get denied it'll bump my loan amount to independent which helps me a bit. The only tricky thing is my mom works for a bank, and she told me that banks don't pre approve like that ...

Were you able to sign up for your classes and stuff?

Yeah that's what they told me in my last meeting... I got that print out and everything that i'm sure you got today. So does showing her your plan involve having an actual loan already? Or just that it's what you intend to do? So is the 27k for the e...

How did the meeting go?!

yes please please please let me know! but wow that is definitely going to save you A TON of money!

Definitely let me know how the meeting goes! I can't wait to meet you guys!! I'm going to need a study group! Haha

Yeah. I'm just wondering (and hopefully calling tomorrow) what they'd require if family was paying for it. I mean, they can't ask for that money upfront since its an estimated total. I'm so confused lol

And I spoke directly with Becky. Got a voicemail the 1st time, called back later and she answered and then transferred me over to financial aid.

Oh that's fine! Yeah I've met with them before too, and have all of my financial aid info and I'm completely covered first academic year, so I was totally shocked when she said I have to have something by Tuesday, when they hadnt mentioned anything a...

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

If you guys don't mind me asking... I just got accepted for the jan start date. My first academic year is covered already, only have a difference for the 2nd year. When I called to accept my spot they told me I'd need to have pre approval for a loan ...

Any word on your appointment??

And I'm Sammy :) nice to meet you!!

No, I'm new to Reno. Moved here from CA since its much easier (or so I thought) to get into nursing school. I'm slightly frustrated and discouraged after my call since they scheduled me an appointment for tues morning, and I'm somehow supposed to get...
