New to board and have a question...

I originally posted this on the Student board but then thought that I might get a better response on this one.

Hi , just found this board and I see that there is a lot of good advice going around. Quick introduction before my question...I am 28, in school for the first time in 10 years and scared to death! Going for an Associate's R.N. degree. I am taking pre-requisites right now (A/P, English, Psychology, and Algebra) and can apply for the nursing program in January (to start next fall).

I have been looking at some of the financial aid available for nursing and am very interested in the Nursing Scholarship Program run by the US Dept. for Health and Human Services. This is the program where they pay your tuition, books, etc. and provide you with a monthly stipend. In exchange, you agree to work for a minimum of 2 years at a facility that they deem as having a nursing shortage crisis. Before you graduate they send you a list of this facilities so you can go ahead and apply to one.

If anyone here is familiar with this, my question is...Does this list they come up with have facililties in every state, or do they just concentrate on a handful of locations? I live in KY but plan to relocate to Arizona or Nevada after graduation. I wouldn't want to possibly be accepted into this program and find out that they might not have anything listed for either state when I graduate.

I emailed their website with this question but they only responded with the rules/regulations of the program, so it wasn't much help.

Thanks for any info, and sorry this is so long. I have always been the type to say in 20 words what could be said in 10!
