Ashfrost,

I too am looking for different ways to pay for CRNA school. I start in August and so far I have put all my savings into a home, so I don't have a lot saved up for school. Fortunately we turned our home into a duplex so we can rent out half while in school and it should pay for the majority of the mortgage. I have looked at either getting loans to pay for school or joining the army reserves. The reserves looks pretty good so far. I would get $1,900.00 dollars every month while in school and then they pay $50,000.00 tuition reimbursement when you finish school. The drawback is you owe them 6 years of service after you finish school and I kind of want to move around a lot and I don't know how that will work. I was also given a sheet from my school with a bunch of free scholarship search sites to use. So far it is just writing a bunch of 500 word essays on why I deserve a scholarship. Some of them are a waist of time or are only for a few hundred dollars, but I had a friend who said she spent a month doing that in her spare time and was able to get about $20,000.00 in scholarships, so I will try that as well. I would like to know more about agreeing to work at a hospital after and having them pay for school. If anyone has more information on that. I think you will be doing great if you work and save before school. If you do travel nursing and you are the type that can save money then do it. I wouldn't stress yourself to death about it, but I think you can live modestly and save a lot of money. I mean I know I lived modestly while going to nursing school and I was still able to have a lot of fun. Good luck. I think you will do great.
