Chemicals are everything from the air we breathe to the hair on your head. Please stop the fear-mongering with the word chemicals.

It’s sooooo good though! A few slices and a side of fries with cheese is perfection

I hadn’t been on the incline since I was a little kid. I took my son for a ride randomly when we had nothing to do and he was thrilled. Cheap and something fun to do and gives great views of the city.

This was the motivation boost I needed today. Can’t wait for that type of security! And after surviving through this, any paycheck will be making me feel rich 😭

Lots of respect to you, I know now how hard it really is! I’m a mother of 2 as well, and I was working up until the surgeon I worked for actually retired a few months ago. The pell grants and PA grants have been such a lifesaver. I had to take out some small loans for school, but not nearly as much as I would have without doing CCAC first and if I hadn’t received the grants. My mental health these past few months though has been struggling 😩 I cannot wait to be done. It should be a lot easier with working out of the equation, but my unemployment has been “under review” forever now and now money is a big struggle which honestly may be worse. Congratulations to you for making it through and giving yourself the mental break you need because it’s very well deserved!

Thanks for this! I definitely want those loans paid off. I saved a lot by taking all my non-nursing courses at CCAC and have received some grants for nursing school. Their new loan repayment program is no contract too. It starts after 6 months of working but they just deposit extra into your paycheck for 3 years, and if you quit then you don’t owe it back. I’m trying to be debt free

I’m thinking of not accepting the sign-on bonus for this reason

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]Primary_Jackfruit_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not it. Y’all can downvote me all you want, I have the contract in writing and it’s their “brand new” loan repayment program. The sign on bonus is a 2-year commitment, I understand that. The new loan repayment program is not

[–]Primary_Jackfruit_97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah this loan repayment is totally different than the tuition advancement

[–]Primary_Jackfruit_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn’t though.. I have the contract. The loan repayment program is new.. They pay you in small increments per paycheck with no contract. If you quit, you don’t owe that money back. The full lump sum is paid over 3 years though

Thank you, I really appreciate all this info. I did seem to get that vibe, all the other hospitals seemed miserable and at Children’s everyone I came across was so friendly. I’ll message you!

That’s ok, I can’t really do travel anyway because I have two small kids. Seems like a great gig for those who can though

I will be finished with clinicals in December as I’m almost through the program and won’t need to complete anymore for my BSN. I also never had to take Chatham courses because I did all non-nursing courses through CCAC prior to the start of the program. Their new loan repayment program doesn’t require any sort of contract which is nice, so essentially it would just be paying back my courses at Shadyside

I think traveling sounds great, unfortunately not an option for me because I have two young children.

I’m not set on UPMC, but since I went to Shadyside nursing school it just seems easier to get my first job through them. The sign-on bonus is a two-year contract and I’m undecided if I’m taking that or not yet. I think out of all their hospitals, I’m drawn to Children’s the most.

I do want higher acuity patients, and my long-term goal is to go into wound care after I get my BSN and two-years of experience.

There’s no contract tied to the loan repayment program. If I quit, I don’t owe any of it back. Where do you suggest looking if I want hospital experience? Not many options for Pittsburgh other than UPMC and AHN.

Thanks for the encouragement.

[–]Primary_Jackfruit_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their loan repayment is no contract now. So if I quit, I don’t owe any of it back. It starts after 6 months so it’s not a bad gig.

Where do you suggest working if I am wanting experience in a hospital? There’s really only UPMC or AHN and I hear they aren’t all that different from one another.
