  1. NELRP 2014

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone know if they can tell you whether or not your application was error-free if you call the 800 number? This is the first year I have applied, and I've been a little paranoid that I might...

  3. Private loan and no co-signer

    grandpaj replied to Davis.M's topic in General Students

    Try AES. I have a few private loans with them for small amounts and have never had any problems nor did they require co-signers. Rates were around 8%. Not ideal, but if you're in a bind, worth...

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard that a lot of people missed their emails from HRSA for various reasons last year, so I've tried to be diligent about checking the application portal so far. The waiting is so

  6. NELRP 2014

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know the answers to your questions, but I know you can call their 800 number and talk to someone who might. Anyone else heard anything?? Looks like notifications started rolling in for NPs...

  7. Stupid Nurse Tricks (Or How To Look Incredibly Stupid)

    grandpaj replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    "Trip" over the patient's IV pole and hit the code button by accident, then stand helplessly in the doorway going "I don't know what happened!" as the entire floor runs in to start a code. One of my...

  11. University of Central Missouri

    grandpaj replied to Marie32's topic in General Nursing

    I applied for Spring 2015 (early, I know) and received an email saying I would be notified after September 15 regarding their decision. The wait seems like forever! For those in the program or...

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone know if it's possible to qualify for both NELRP as well as the federal Public Servant Loan Forgiveness program? Can you make multiple payments that qualify while you're receiving the...

  13. Stethoscope Recommendation?

    grandpaj replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Students

    Programs always recommend Littman. I've had several Adscopes that were comparable for half the price, as well as a lesser known brand cardiac scope I found on Amazon with great acoustics. Read...

  15. Introverted nurses

    grandpaj replied to NicoleLynch's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm an INFJ and work drains me more often than not. I've also had similar problems connecting with co-workers because I don't do idle chit chat. I prefer night shift because there are less people...

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    I checked my app multiple times before submitting, so I'm crossing my fingers. I'm over the 200% mark. Do you get a status change sooner if you didn't complete your app

  19. What constitutes "comfort care" at your hospital?

    grandpaj replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Nursing

    Comfort care usually includes no vitals (except per family request), no labs, no tests, hourly meds available for pain and sedation. Our staff does turn the patient q2 and do mouth care unless either...

    grandpaj replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

    I use credit karma, which will update once a week without harming your credit score. There's a website as well an app. I think you're entitled to one free report annually from each credit
