    Money for DNP...how!?

    meanmaryjean replied to Brianne.arnold87's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This bothers me kbrn2002. Because a co-signer is responsible for the balance of the loan if the borrower defaults. This borrower has already defaulted. Co-signing ANY loan is a terrible idea-...
