  1. Jefferson - Low EFC but has to pay 16k?

    Livelaughlove72 replied to meiplums's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The maximum Pell grant that anyone can receive this year is $6095, regardless of your school, and honestly with an EFC of 98 instead of 0, you're talking about a difference of $50 or less. I can't...

  2. How to pay for school

    Livelaughlove72 replied to kenee23's topic in General Students

    Look into the NurseCorps HRSA scholarship. If you are interested in working in a designated shortage area or institution, and demonstrate financial need. It is highly competitive but I believe it...

    Livelaughlove72 replied to EaRNit's topic in Chamberlain College

    Before the appointment just make sure your FAFSA is done. During your pre-enrollment appointment, your advisor will go over all your financial aid options and will give you a to-do list and important...

  5. What kind of loans for CRNA school?

    Livelaughlove72 replied to walkerrn2015's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would pick the GradPlus over the private loans, they are federal loans and interest paid on them can be used as a deduction for tax purposes. You can't do that with private

  6. Bizarre Co-Worker Rant!

    Livelaughlove72 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    Great point! I will look into doing that, not sure how to. I will say that is the only part of my real name that I used, and it's an extremely common last

  7. Bizarre Co-Worker Rant!

    Livelaughlove72 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    My last name is a first name too (Lee) and I knew what I was getting into when I got married and took his name. I get called Lee all the time at work and we are all on a first name basis. I have...

  8. Student Loans

    Livelaughlove72 replied to Aspiring33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you applied to your nursing program yet? When you are ready to apply, ask to speak to financial aid before you do. Some schools offer their own scholarships but they base their eligibility on...

  9. ABSN Programs and Financial Aid Help!!

    Livelaughlove72 replied to heidinsh's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It sounds like you may be approaching the federal loan limit of $57500 but I would suggest using these loans first before trying for private loans. Also look like crazy for scholarships. If you have...

  10. Schools grading scale

    Livelaughlove72 replied to Ibyn26's topic in General Students

    This is actually quite common. And most likely you were given this information during the admissions process. Schools typically require you to agree to abide by school policies as part of the...

  11. Not sure how to deal with this future classmate...

    Livelaughlove72 replied to tulipsupontulips's topic in General Students

    One more idea, a friend of mine did this when she was a bartender and obviously worked around drunk guys. Find a convincing yet inexpensive wedding/engagement/promise ring and wear it. (Make sure...

  12. Not sure how to deal with this future classmate...

    Livelaughlove72 replied to tulipsupontulips's topic in General Students

    Like others have said keep everything he sends you just in case the school would need to be involved with it later. I do think it's okay when you pick classes, to respectfully ask your advisor to...

  13. Entering as Part-Time Student???

    Livelaughlove72 replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Chamberlain College

    Have you spoken with an advisor? S/he should be able to give you general information. I don't think all classes are offered every 8 weeks so there may be a limit to how much you can spread it out....

  15. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    Livelaughlove72 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    In my case it isn't conspiracy theory but the way I was raised. My family is of the Christian Scientist faith, so I grew up receiving minimal medical care and my parents challenged our school for...

    Livelaughlove72 replied to justSara's topic in General Students

    You're in a tough situation with your car, so I won't lecture you on that. You've received some good advice about attempting to sell it, or refinance it. Hopefully you find a good solution. It...

  17. This might be really mean but I have to say it...

    Livelaughlove72 replied to Beeboop12's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can't speak as a nurse or medical professional, but feel I can speak from personal experience. My father and I took care of my aging grandmother (with dementia) until her last day on earth. It...

  18. Move out and live close to school or live at home and make commute.

    Livelaughlove72 replied to Teyrae13's topic in General Students

    If you get along with your mother I would definitely suggest staying at home. Trust me, if you aren't careful those student loan payments will grow very fast if you aren't careful. If you haven't...

  19. Pursuing RN with a Non-Nursing Bachelor's Degree

    Livelaughlove72 replied to MiiSzAshley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I obviously don't know your financial aid situation but having a bachelors degree doesn't automatically prevent all financial aid. While you are automatically disqualified from the Pell Grant,...

    Livelaughlove72 replied to Tccowboys's topic in General Students
