Hey everyone;
I’m about to start an ABSN this fall but honestly the loans and living costs are making me freak out. I will potentially have to take out ~50k loans. Is that worth it? Will I be screwed after gradation?
Hello!!
I’m a Temple Alum that graduated last year. My sister is getting married on May 15th and she is in need of a violinist/cellist or any string musician that could play music for her wedding ceremony.
The ceremony is going to be very small (10-20 people) and outdoors. It’s going to be about 1-2 miles from Temple (will give more details to those who message with interest). We’re offering $100 to anyone who will come and play for no more an hour.
Please DM me w any questions or if you’re interested at all!!!!! Thank you :)
Hello everyone,
I graduated last May with a Bachelor of Science and currently work in research at a hospital. I really dislike research/academia all together for many reasons, one of them being the lack of human interaction I get most days.
Throughout my entire life, it’s become clear to me that I have skills in caretaking and learning about science in general, so nursing seemed to be a clear path to get out of research. I took a few prerequisites in undergrad, but am now finishing anatomy 1&2 on portage learning while working. I thought nursing is what I wanted to do, but I have this gut feeling saying maybe not yet.
I applied to a few schools (ABSN and Master’s Entry), and due to not having all the prerequisites done, I only got into a handful (including Elmhurst, Jefferson and University Illinois Chicago). I’m excited that I got acceptances, but not excited to start school.
I can’t tell if I actually want to be a nurse, or if I just want out of research so bad, along with financial stability. I have a little over 30k saved for nursing school tuition, and am prepared to take the rest out in loans. I’ve been planing to go to nursing school for almost a year now, but now my biggest fear is that I’m gonna go to school and immediately regret it/waste time and money.
So I guess I’m looking for advice on, how do you actually know you want to be a nurse? The degree is so versatile in that you can do anything with it, but it still freaks me out to commit to a whole career. Part of me wants to do something more creative (like music, photography), but unfortunately that doesn’t give financial stability. At least not for a while.
I just feel so stuck right now. I’m planing to shadow more nurses, so hopefully I’ll gain more clarity in doing that.
Would appreciate anyone’s thoughts/opinions/advice on my situation. Thank you!!
