    OMG, so I was just accepted into the fall direct entry online..Better late than never, but now I am not sure how to afford it. How did financial aid work out for you guys? Im wondering if books will be able to be bought with financial aid or if it will come directly out of pocket. I have 4 weeks to get prepared and submit all the needed info. AHHHHHH

    Adamamber1 congrats!!!! Are you going to tomorrow's orientation? My financial aid is horrible. I only received about one tenth of the total cost for the first year . I called the financial aid office and they didn't provide much help.I resubmitted my fafsa because I think I filled it out incorrectly, so I'm hoping that helps.

    CM401 For some reason, my last message didnt get posted to you. Sorry about your financial aid. I just spoke with someone in financial aid and am terrified. Did your student loans cover your bill? How much are the books for this semester? Obviously being accepted late, I wasnt planning on these costs so now I am unsure how to make it work financially. I'm so overwhelmed. How does everyone pay for this? I wont even get my financial aid package before I send in my deposit, so if it is unaffordable, I am out $600. Not sure what to do.

    Adamamber1, most of the people I spoke with at orientation today are taking out private loans and I plan to do the same. For financial aid purposes, the RN portion is considered a second bachelors so independent students can receive up to $12,500 and dependent $7,500/ year. I was told to plan to spend ~$900 on books.

    Oh wow, I was told that for financial aid purposes, it would be considered graduate student loans..Im so confused.
