    Do anyone know of any programs that will help with funding for nursing students I am in

    WookieeRN replied to Nurse2be15's topic in General Students

    Type "nursing school scholarships" into Google and you'll get a wealth of information on what scholarships you may qualify for. Also, look into private student loans if you are desperate but just know...

    More Nursing Student financial woes

    WookieeRN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I have to say I think I'm very fortunate. I have a lot of people, like my boyfriend and my parents, who want to see me succeed. Just recently, after my parents realized how bad my living situation...

    Clinicals at Montgomery County Community College (MC3.EDU)

    WookieeRN replied to dnofsinger's topic in General Nursing

    Clinicals most likely change every year, that's probably why you can't find anything about dates or times. Usually, you find out at orientation. The advisors at Montco are absolutely useless. Have...

    Attention WEST COAST GRADS OR CURRENT STUDENTS

    WookieeRN replied to nurseB32's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will be losing out on more than 100k in nursing wages by going to WCU because of the cost you will end up having to pay back. You shouldn't take out more loans than you will make your first year....

    Need to go school to avoid paying loan

    WookieeRN replied to fostercatmom's topic in Case Management

    I really don't think adding on more debt is the solution to your problem. What happens when you finish and now have two loans to pay

    SHORTAGE OF NURSES

    WookieeRN replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We are still expected to be in a glut of nurses for the next 10 years regardless of this. Many baby boomers have no retirement and I've even heard some conjecturing that they will work until the day...

    MarquieshaH, basically it is all the same issues as Chamberlain which you asked about in your last thread. The debt is just not worth it. My recommendation is still to look towards more affordable...

    What is Selective Service?

    WookieeRN replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully soon if they keep the SS around. It's only fair and is one big step towards seeing women as actual equals. I think there is a lot of support on both ends of the issue but I think the...

    UCONN CEIN 2016

    WookieeRN replied to RN2BCamm's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I really think you are angry at the wrong people. 3.3 is a low GPA for nursing, and to basically belittle the others who did get in but do not have worthy experience (to you) is very telling of your...

    WookieeRN replied to amandakatherine's topic in General Students

    They will still request transcripts from ALL colleges attended, even if you don't want to transfer the credit. They have ways of finding out whether or not you've attended other colleges, the easiest...

    The big, big thing they want to know about is your support system and what you've put in place to make sure you succeed. Watts does want all its nurses to succeed, but they also want to know that the...
