I just got approved for the loan forgiveness. I start paying back this month. I owe $60,000 and my monthly payment is less than $200 and the rest gets waived after 10 years. You have to reapply every year because they want to make sure you're still working full time and want to see if your income has changed. I think it's a great idea

I know you posted this 2 years ago but it seems I'm in the exact same spot as you! I graduated here in Toledo & got a job at the U of M making 29.90/HR. Thought it'd be worth it since promedica only pays 25.50. Turns out it's not...an hour drive back & forth 5 days a week (I work 8's) and between the $ I pay in gas & gif parking, it wasn't worth it. I accepted a job at Toledo hospital & even thought the pay is less, it's free parking & 5-10 mins away, 3 days a week

When I started nursing school, our school gave us a littman but it was the cheapest one. I couldn't hear well, then I got the classic SE II and still couldn't hear. After I passed boards I bought the cardiology III & for the FIRST time I can hear lung sounds!

Thanks everyone. I wasn't trying to make it sound like a lot of codes are a good thing. However, I was told it's a good floor to learn from. The heart and vascular ICU is amazing. It's definitely the hospital's most highest acuity ICU. The nurses there have so much autonomy that it's actually scary, but I really think if I can get in there, why not?

Hi everyone, I'm a new grad nurse and I currently work on a Med surg unit. I just applied to an ICU residency position and I'm torn between the Coronary Care ICU or the heart & vascular surgical ICU. We're supposed to tell them our top 3 choices & they try to accommodate. I did 112 hours of precepting on the heart and vascular unit so I know all about it and am interested, but I also heard coronary care has a lot of codes and good experience. Anybody know or have any advice?

I'm a new grad nurse working on a med surg floor. I just applied to an ICU residency program. It's 8 months long of training with a preceptor. I think 6 weeks or however long you got is way too short. At most hospitals near me, if you have already been a nurse, you still at least get 12 weeks
