   ArkyCCRN replied to SorenDrake's topic in SRNA

4. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

   ArkyCCRN replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in SRNA

   I would wait on getting the check disbursed to you until a lot closer until your start time. It only takes a couple of weeks from the day that you ask for the check to be disbursed to you to actually receive it. As soon as you get that check you star...

   I think as long as you feel confident in providing care to "critical patients" and are able to handle the stresses that go along with a critical care unit and feel confident in yourself that you're as ready as you can be to pursue your next goal.. wi...

9. Employment Proposition...Would this change hurt my chances?

   ArkyCCRN replied to UCDSICURN's topic in CRNA

   I just wanted to give you something to consider as well.. if I were you I would talk to some of the schools I am interested in and see if taking the management position would lessen your chances of being accepted due to not EXACTLY delivering patient...

    i'm not sure about the Libor Index vs the Prime Rate. But I decided to go with Sallie Mae. I initially thought I was going to go with Wells Fargo because I have pretty good credit and thought I could get a descent interest rate. Although there are no...

    With the Bank Of America loan.. I think it's only the education maximizer loan that can be used for anything.. they have a few different loans available but that's the only one that I found that sends the money directly to the borrower and all that.....

    ArkyCCRN replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in SRNA

    Hey, all these loans are deferred loans meaning you won't have to pay them until you're out of school. Most of them give you the option to pay while you're in school, only pay interest accrued while you're in school (helps lower payments SLIGHTLY), o...
