Few questions are scarier than “Where did all the money go?”
Learn the secrets to sound financial management.
The sooner you learn how to manage money effectively, the sooner you can avoid the stresses that stem from living beyond your means. It’s easy to create a monthly financial plan, and it will help you make the best of your monetary resources.
Start with a simple formula:
Calculate your monthly income.
Estimate your monthly expenses-including your student loan payment, all living expenses, credit cards, insurance, etc.
Determine what you have left. This is your discretionary income-money you can use as you choose. If you have money left over it would be a good plan to open a savings account.
You’ll find that the simplest cost-cutting strategies can add up to considerable savings in the long run.
If you would like to learn more about creating a budget, please join me for a LUNCH and LEARN, on Wednesday, October 20th from 12:00- 1:00. The Lunch and Learn will be held on the first floor.

The Southwestern Admissions Department is very proud to announce the rolling out of our new program Practical Nursing!! We started our first class in May 2010. We had a very energetic group of students that have now moved on to their 2nd quarter. This is what Cindy Campbell; Regional Director of Nursing Programs had to say;
“Twenty eager students entered the first class of Southwestern’s Practical Nursing program on May 17th. After many hours of reading, studying, and practicing skills, they’ve survived the first quarter of this very intense 48-week program. Sixty percent of these students have some medical background, either as a Nursing Assistant, Medical Assistant, or Medical Administrative Assistant, and their knowledge has been helpful to classmates with no previous experience in the healthcare field. During this first quarter, students studied chemistry, anatomy & physiology, microbiology, Nursing fundamentals, and professional ethics.
Moving in to their second quarter, the Nursing students are looking forward to beginning their clinical rotations and applying their new knowledge and skills to actual patient care. Their classroom content will include Medical-Surgical Nursing and Pharmacology.”
We here at Southwestern College are very glad to be offering such a program that is going to help aid in producing quality nurses. We are looking forward to many successful class starts and graduations. Help us in welcoming our new program and students to the Southwestern College Family!

Dear Gabby answers student questions
Dear Gabby:
I am a student at Southwestern College and I have a problem that I need help with. I have an instructor that I just do not get along with. I am afraid that she is going to going to fail me. Maybe I will just drop the class. What is the best thing to do in this situation?
Gabby says:
I am sorry to hear that you are not happy in your class! Here at Southwestern College, we strive, to make you, the student, our first priority! However, at times, the best thing to do is to face the issue rather than to run from it. Here is what this means. Instead of dropping the class, I would suggest that you talk with the instructor. Tell her how you are feeling. Ask for her help in being successful in the class. It is likely that in your future job, you will encounter someone that you do not get along with or do not like. You will need skills in problem solving to get you through this and future similar situations. Even if you do not necessarily resolve all of your feelings about the instructor, it doesn’t mean you cannot be successful in the class. You will truly get the grade you have earned. Show up, do your work. Be on time, and stay for the entire session. Be respectful and professional in your behavior. Be the best you can be. See how you can turn this situation around to your benefit. You will both be better for it in the end! Good Luck!
