<p>looks pretty darn good for college apps.
i thought i'd suggest a nursing program other than ones at "name" colleges.</p>

<p>Look at beloit college's program with Rush nursing in Chicago. Thats the one i'm doing if something goes terribly wrong with my college fund/investments/money in general.</p>

<p>Awesome, thanks for the suggestion. :) I'm actually applying to other nursing programs at baylor and ut austin. I'll definitely look into beloit's program. :)</p>
