    Any financial aid for a student with a bachelors degree?

    WookieeRN replied to northmississippi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Financial aid can be really confusing if you already have a bachelors. I've heard of some being able to get Stafford loans if they didn't max them out in their first degree, but I have also heard the...

    The Ds will affect the OP if any program looks a cumulative GPA versus pre-req GPA. It is very common for schools to look at

    Start going through the internet and looking for scholarships and apply to EVERY SINGLE ONE you meet the criteria for. Get a part-time job and put everything towards tuition. Cut everything out of...

    Student Loans... HELP!!

    WookieeRN replied to TriecyJay's topic in General Students

    When it comes to bad credit, most places will require you to have a co-signer when you apply. That doesn't guarantee that you will get the loan, either. Be wary of private loans as they cannot be...

    Perhaps you may want to look at LPN-TO-RN programs and then look into RN-BSN programs, or look at ABSN programs since you already have a

    Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

    WookieeRN replied to PlayaChickRN's topic in General Students

    I don't bother outing cheaters. They will eventually shoot themselves in the foot regardless of my involvement or not. "You do you, and I'll do me," is what I always

    could I get in the nursing program

    That doesn't mean you will get in with a 2.6. You are going up with applicants with 3.5+ GPAs. What is your GPA

    could I get in the nursing program

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

    I would retake those classes with Ds and get As. What is a competitive GPA for the program's you are applying to in comparison to yours? Be aware that achieving the minimum GPA to get in does not mean...

    WookieeRN replied to emilyNICURn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Honestly, if they wanted to inform every person that applied that they will not receive an interview, they could probably hire 2 people just to make phone calls like that full-time. It's just doesn't...

    How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    WookieeRN replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    This reminded me of an old professor I had. He told the class that anyone who wished to record the lecture had to put their name on the recorder. If you left the room for more than 3 minutes he would...

    WookieeRN replied to th3kandyshopp3's topic in Government, Military

    Your first step would be getting a BSN. They won't look at you without it. Also, you will want to keep up a high GPA (goes hand-in-hand with the first step). It is very competitive right now and will...

    WookieeRN replied to TXcatcher's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You have no idea what kind of nurses any of those students will be, just saying. Unfortunately, you aren't up to the muster of the program you are trying to apply to. It sucks, I know, but you just...
