  3. Aaaaaagggghh!

    Make sure you don't consolidate then, it makes you ineligible for many loan repayment
  11. "Just" a nurse?

    When I handed in my resignation at work, the director of my department (who is a doctor) said "So you really want to clean bedpans?" and I thought to myself "what's the difference, I've been cleaning...
  12. How much do NY nurses make?

    Some places in BK and Queens are getting just as expensive as Manhattan (Astoria, Williamsburg and Park Slope come to mind). I got a large 1 bedroom apartment in Inwood that's close to where I'll be...

  15. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

  19. Going to NYU's 15-month accelerated program

    lol, I actually work on Water Street now, I feel like I'm in Staten Island. Most of the people I know who are doing direct entry (at NYU or Columbia), myself included, are 5+ years out of
  20. Going to NYU's 15-month accelerated program

    I know a few people from my pre-req classes that are starting NYU (I'm going to Columbia myself). Most of the dorms at NYU are pretty nice in comparision to other schools. Union Square is on 14th...

  24. Accelerated BSN in NYC
