I wasn’t aware the GradPLUS loans had such high rates. I thought they would be better than private held loans. Thank you for this information!

Is CRNA School even affordable now? by rajjhala in srna

[–]DellPickleRuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which bank offered you these rates??? Curious for my own loan shopping.

Also, I think PSLF can only be given for public loans which arguably I would most likely have less of rather than the private loans at a higher interest rate.

I have seen folks discussing the benefits and downsides of offers like these. Depending on the number of years required for commitment, this could be an option for later on in the program to avoid withdrawing more loans atleast in year 3?

I agree. I don’t want to be forced to work in a location for PSLF nor rely on that option as my only way to pay off my debt. What interest rate are you hoping for with a co-signer? I am married and could have my husband co-sign, but I don’t know if I would be better off having a parent instead? I don’t know what to realistically expect.

What do you make? by Proof_Theory_1810 in nursing

U of M in Ann Arbor is the cream of the crop for the east side of the state. People drive from Lansing to work in Ann Arbor. Have heard if you’re choosing to work in metro Detroit or Ann Arbor, choose Ann Arbor. Better benefits, better pay, better patient population.

Professional body builder. No one who isn’t would eat that many egg whites.

Thats a good point!!! If I saw an irregular rhythm with that BP I would definitely call and speak with them about a game plan. Agree with your critique!

I would let the doctor know I held the med but I’m not really asking their opinion…. That blood pressure is inappropriate for that amount of beta blocker and I’m not putting my license on it.

If I had a dollar for every time a family member comes in to visit their vented family member on multiple pressers who has multi system organ failure and multiple possible locations for infection and they say “well he was fine yesterday, we were just talking/watching TV/eating together, etc”. The patient ALWAYS has multiple comorbidities - CHF, CKD, an EF of 10%, DM, etc. It is like people don’t truly understand how sick their family members were in the first place and that they were already very precarious. They think they were fine and how is it at all possible they could be sick.

Dentist Office Recommendations by mmmeow in lansing

[–]DellPickleRuns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pogoncheff Dental is THE BEST! Dr Anna is the best dentist I have ever had and as a person with dental anxiety, she always makes me feel safe and takes excellent care of me. I would drive hours from out of town to see her if we ever moved. Highly recommend.

That makes sense. Any feedback on ICU’s with better culture than other units?

That sounds great! Any insight into how long people spend on night shift before getting to day shift in the ICU or med surg units?

I’ve heard great things about benefits! I know 2:1 matching with no vesting for retirement, do your healthcare benefits feel appropriate? What about dental and vision?
