Calling all Paducah, KY Nurses!

Mine says "nursing pending pending" Not sure why there's 2 pendings on there? But I figure if they meet the 2nd week in July maybe it'll pop up then? I mean, I don't think it'll change to long before the letters get mailed.

Anyways I haven't contacted WIA yet but I'm planning on it if I get accepted.

Keith, do you happen to remember what formula they used to figure your income? When I applied for Audobon it seems like they multiplied my husbands weekly income by like 4.?? and divided by something else....something about there being 4.? pay periods in each month....I don't know it was weird.

I have never applied for Auborn assistance. Can I still apply for WIA? Are the 2 programs related?

WIA and child care assistance (audobon) are seperate. Here in Paducah, WIA is at the unemployment office on 6th street and child care assitance is at the HIPP building on Jackson St.

If you don't qualify for childcare assistance, contact WKCTC person and they can try and work with you. I believe you had to have a letter stating you were denied.

Here is the link from WKCTC site about childcare assistance. There is a link for the checklist and application.

Here is the important thing. Get WIA first. Once you are approved, you are approved until you graduate from the program. Let's say your family income is low enough and you qualifiy and you are approved and then a week later you hit the lottery, WIA still pays. You can work if you have to after WIA is approved. I say this because when I checked into audobon I had to work 20 hours plus go to school in order to obtain assistance. Then through the college you can work at the bookstore or library.
I chose to pay out of pocket, which I will be using my pell grant money for, to pay for my children's daycare while I am in class.

Hope this helps.

Quick question- what are the guidlines with stethoscopes? I have to have one for my job and the other day it grew legs and walked away. In the interest of saving money I'd like to get one that I can also use at clinicals. Are there any kinds/colors that are prohibited, or can you get whatever you want? Thanks!

Oh that sucks. At least it isn't Friday! Keep us posted!

stethoscopes, I know instructors from 101 want you to have on with a bell and a diaphragm. The brand/type/color don't matter.

Then I am totally applying AS SOON as I get my acceptance letter!!
