  4. Student Loan Help

    allycat77 replied to MattLC's topic in General Students

    I am a 2nd degree student as well, and am looking into this too. I believe you will qualify for a maximum of $12,500 in Stafford loans, (the bulk being unsubsidized) per academic year. while i am just...

  5. Nurse Corps Scholarship Program

    allycat77 replied to KZE15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds pretty awesome. If I didn't have a family, I would consider it. I think I have also seen something for IHS (indian health services?) where you also make a commitment to working with/for...

  6. I have ADHD and was told that taking medications would be frowned on

    allycat77 replied to allboymom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know, I think everyone has an opinion. I was just accepted into nursing school, and we were not even asked to list any medications we are on. Yes, we had to either have a physical done at school,...

  7. Drug dosage calculation class?

    allycat77 replied to kristinanunes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You really don't need a course on this. We have the dosage tests as part of my pharmacology class. We don't really "learn" it in class. We are shown some problems, but really it is al on your own. Our...

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yeah, I know the ones I ordered are called a clog, but I'm hoping the laces throw them

  9. So we can't wear clogs...

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Haha, I agree. But it seems like nursing school is the place where you are seriously discouraged from making waves. I just ordered these Danskos, they don't seem clog-like, but who knows. I figure if...

  13. hep b vaccine

    allycat77 replied to Nursingstudent93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm, maybe my post was the one you are talking about. I found an online handbook for my school of nursing, and it stated that you had to either have the titer, START the series, or could DECLINE. So...

  14. So we can't wear clogs...

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yeah i have a friend in the program who verified that any type of clogs are not allowed. In the 1st semester we do monday & tuesday back-to-back 12s. I am thinking i might get at least 2 pairs of...

  15. So we can't wear clogs...

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    That is exactly why I want to avoid the mesh! I have seen Keen's PTC Utility Oxfords, they are leather, no mesh, but have laces. What do you

  16. So we can't wear clogs...

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We can wear sneakers, just not clogs. I will check out the. New Balance sneakers. Aren't Alegrias clogs

  17. So we can't wear clogs...

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My Danskos are te professional line that are closed in with an actual heelcup. Sadly I am hearing these are not allowed. I expect to probably pay about the same for a good pair of shoes. My...

  18. So we can't wear clogs...

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Any recommendations? I am fearing a sneaker with Mesh. Maybe Keen's PTC

  19. More eek over titers/vax

    allycat77 posted a topic in General Students

    Hey everyone, So looking at the clearances I need it looks like there may be one hiccup. My Hep B. i have my old shot record booklet from 30+ years ago, and there is no mention of Hep B. my father was...

  20. More eek over titers/vax

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in General Students

    Reading more about it, I found info saying that you should only do the titer 1-2 months after the 3rd shot in the series, otherwise, it is unlikely to show up. So if it has been a long time since you...

  21. More eek over titers/vax

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the info. I was able to track down a student handbook online at it says that I can either decline or start the series if I cannot prove vaccination history or immunity. I will definitely...

  22. More eek over titers/vax

    allycat77 replied to allycat77's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I was a bit worried, when I called the student health center, the person that I spoke to said, "hmm, that's a really good question!" which can sometimes mean, "I don't have an answer." She...

  23. Maybe the wrong forum...

    allycat77 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance
