    How did you pay off your student debt?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    Did you have to take out fairly large loans? If so, how long did it take you to pay those back with the

    How did you pay off your student debt?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    So instead of 1/3 going to mortgage, I'm guessing you could find very cheap rent for less than a third of the yearly salary. What about getting a full-time and part-time nursing position after...

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How are you with math? Have you looked at the chemistry and physics subjects you will have to learn about? My biggest question is what makes you want to pursue medicine versus

    Which school for pre-nursing

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Breh_118's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, if your parents are paying for the prereqs (the TOTAL cost, no loans on your part), then it doesn't matter where you go, as long as it's reputable, unless otherwise stated by the nursing...

    Desire to be a nurse, is it to late?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to MaeKongKen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before you graduate, I would really check with FAFSA (call them) and your financial aid office (schedule an appointment this week to meet with an advisor at your school) to see what funding you would...

    Accelerated BSN with low GPA

    oldsockventriloquist replied to AL0117's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One, if you are really interested in NYU, I would see what feedback they have for someone in your situation. Maybe they will look at future classes if they are able to boost your GPA up to 3.0. I...

    Which school for pre-nursing

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Breh_118's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would call the nursing programs/schools in your area to see if it matters. If it doesn't, I'd see which program is the cheapest, yet reputable (see which one offers the best financial

    Physiology question.

    oldsockventriloquist replied to .Olive.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are worried about being behind, I would look on YouTube for anatomy and physiology lectures. You can also look on the syllabus and/or read ahead to see if you'll have any trouble. You might...

    Physiology question.

    oldsockventriloquist replied to .Olive.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, talk with your professor and see if there's any way to boost that 75 to an 80 at least. I wouldn't try to reduce my grade to a D or F, since many schools look at your overall GPA. If...

    Second Degree BSN

    oldsockventriloquist replied to AP0303's topic in General Students

    The person I was responding to stated that someone pursuing a second degree wouldn't receive any government financial aid. That is why I brought up the financial aid loans point. However, those loans...

    Second Degree BSN

    oldsockventriloquist replied to AP0303's topic in General Students

    I think this depends on if you have reached your limits for federal loans and how your program is classified. Are there any employers in your area that will give you tuition reimbursement? It might be...

    New Grad Critical Care Experience

    oldsockventriloquist posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So, I believe that the standard experience needed to apply to a CRNA program is in critical care. From reading this forum, I have also gathered that the ICU is ranked the highest compared to other...

    NURSE Corps Scholarship Salary

    For those that have been selected for the NURSE Corps scholarship program, were you allowed to earn a salary on top of the monthly stipend you received? I'm a little confused and thought that if...

    2016 UPenn BSN/MSN Applicants

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Bell427's topic in School, College Programs

    So, I have a question for everyone that is applying. I know UPenn has a very good nursing program, but it is incredibly expensive. I believe the BSN/MSN program is well over $100,000. How is everyone...

    oldsockventriloquist replied to mroun91's topic in General Students

    $12,000 is not bad at all. Was that for an ADN or BSN program? If BSN, how'd you only have to take out that

    New Grad Critical Care Experience

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So, I keep on hearing that med/surg or telemetry could help you land a spot in the ICU. Is that because of the connections you make while in those units? I assumed most critical care positions want...

    oldsockventriloquist replied to mroun91's topic in General Students

    I just don't know if the cost is worth it for the expensive programs. Even if you make a little more in major cities, you might be paying over $100,000 for just the tuition. Even, $60,000 is a lot of...

    Getting a C in Anatomy :(

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, it would be helpful to have more information. Why are you getting the grades you're getting? Did you miss a test that you can't make up? Did you do poorly on assignments and/or tests? If it's a...
