Finances while in LPN school

[kimmyj74]

Wondering if anyone works while in school? Or how else are you paying for the bills?

I am married with 2 kids. They are in school, but we need around $900 a month X 10 month program to pay for the bills my husband's income can't cover. I don't want to work during school so I can concentrate on my studies. I'd like to stay as debt free as possible, but that is going to be impossible I'm afraid.

I'm saving like crazy until school starts but will be way short. I'm looking into a grant from Labor Dept. We make too much money for me to qualify for much financial aid too.

I feel so stuck. I want this soooo badly, but I feel the world is against it. Should I just go into some debt and be better off in the long run? Please, any advise/support will be appreciated.

Hey debanam were u in medical billing prior to getting that registration job because its like the local hospital here in fl where I live won't give me a break I applied for patient registration like 3 times and haven't gotten a call back yet its really stressful because I would really like to have the job I even tried dietary its like I can't get a call back I have 6 years in customer service I would think that would be enough and its like u have to have hospital exp or medical exp I'm like that's what I'm tryna get with your hospital is the exp. Should I volunteer with them I mean I just wanna get my foot in the door sory if this message is too loonng I just had to get this fustation out any advice would be greatly appreciated

I had been a medical secretary prior to becomming a registrar. I think I just got lucky in getting the job. I would definately volunteer, it's a great way to network with those who are in the position to hire you.
