For absn private school students. How do you guys take out loans

[Big_Mike]

I'm 20,000 short for tuition

What do you mean by "how"? What part of the process are you confused about? Please be sure to reach out to your schools financial aid office for help.

[Big_Mike]

My tuition is 33,000 and financial aid can only give me 16,000 which includes federal loans.

Ok, then you need to apply for a private loan or come up with the cash. Your financial aid office can walk you through the process.

The problem with private loans is nobody wants to cosign the loan. I'm short in cash so I guess I have to delay my admission until I have enough.

Since absn programs are quite expensive, have you thought about going a different route? Like getting the ADN first and then bridging with a BSN-RN online program? You may finish a little later, or maybe about the same time since you have to delay anyway, but the savings may be worth it.
