does she have to pay down 4000 at once?

I talked with her and she said that I was confused.
Appearantly SHE will pay for $2,500 of it and she just needs help for the extra $1,500. I have no problem doing that for her!
She is already a CNA. She did that last fall.
This is the girl I couldn't imagine being without, and I plan on asking her to marry me soon. So I have no problem helping her.
What do you think the chances are that someone who makes $30-40 an hour would stay with someone who makes $900 a month? Her saying you're confused is a bad sign. She should be willing to sign a promissary note that she will re-pay back the LOAN. She if refuses then you two have serious issues, especially considering she'll be making $30-40 an hour. $1,500 is a drop in a bucket for her old man regardless of his financial situation. Her family should pony up the money not a boyfriend. She may have inherited her family's "financial genes" and this would be bad for you. If you two break up over this, then this will be the best $1,500 you never "spent."Originally posted by: Duddy
So my girlfriend (19) wants to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)... Once she's out she can make $30 to $40 an hour.
I... make about $900 a month.

In regards to her family, they are close to bankruptcy. She is not eligible for any loans or grants. We have tried them all. All denied. Her dad makes too much money, but unfortunately all the money goes towards medical bills (hypochondriacs) and late mortgage payments and whatnot. Since he makes soo much though, she is denied the pell grant. Since she is 19, she has no credit to apply for a loan. She needs a cosigner, but everyone who can cosign in her family has HORRIBLE credit.[/b]

You're right, it doesn't. A licensed vocational nurse (or licensed practical nurse) is not a registered nurse. A registered nurse is a 4-year degree program and has a salary of about $65K. A licensed vocational/practical nurse makes on average $35K to $40K. If you're about to drop $4000 on an investment, you better learn how to do your research.

Hahaha, shes feeding you a line if she says she will make $30-40/hr.
RNS with 20+ years of experiance are in that pay range, not LVNs. LVNs these days are glorified PCTs/CNAs. They make at most $22/hr out of LVN programs.

Do it if both of you consider each other is your spouse. Also, do it if you have the money and write it off as a generous gift...maybe there are other benefit to it for a long time for the generosity
PS. Where do you live because around here BC Canada License practical nurse is a 2 years program starting wage is around $21.00 hr (nursing wages are quite competitive though out Canada/US). RN with out a BS is $25.00 hr, and an RN with a BS is $26.00 hr (4 years program).

Right. Plus she's 19, and when she turns 20 she's gonna figure out that different guys have different sized peckers, and its all downhill from there.
It is true that some Canadian medical professionals move to the US due to the salary, but IMHO they do it because the tax is lower, The cost of living in the US tend to be higher therefor it balance out the slight different in wage.Originally posted by: Wreckem

Thats why a lot of american hospitals import Canadian nurses. They can make much more in the US.
The number of nursing grads + nurse imports(from Canada and several different asian countries) cannot keep up with the demand for nurses.

No, unless you get a notorized document stating repayment plan and interest in the event of slow/non-payment. Think with the right head, dude.
um.. not sure why you're so negative or what you're trying to point out - but what do you think a 'note' commonly refers to in the financial world?
