    @windsurfer: Thank you for the great advice! I'm excited to begin! @HouTx: haha! I was thinking the exact same thing earlier today! The private school definitely knew how to make us feel special. I...

  6. State vs. Private ABSN

    seekinghappy posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks for the advice Guy in Babyland! It is a large teaching hospital so I may not be as noticed as I would like to think LOL. The good thing is the application deadline for the private school is...

  13. Should you attend nursing school where you want to get a job?

    seekinghappy replied to seekinghappy's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the advice! The reason I changed the difference from a $10K to $20K difference is that I was not including the cost of living expenses. Staying in finance's city means I need to pay for...

    seekinghappy replied to seekinghappy's topic in General Students

    Lol @HouTx, I am applying to more affordable schools, but hoped I could find loan repayment options since I loved this particular program so much.

    seekinghappy replied to seekinghappy's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the warning, Valcorie. That's good to know! Is your husband a new grad? Is he working in an inpatient or outpatient setting? If I went this route I would want to make sure I didn't miss out...
