    Just wondering how y'all are paying for school. I know it will be hard to work while in school and I was wondering how everyone was paying for school. Are y'all getting grants or loans or stipends from CSN or any other source? I might need some he...

    Metry_RN replied to mimimartina's topic in Louisiana

    I went to an after hours clinic to get mine done (they have regular hours too). It cost $40, but I couldn't get it done at my local health department. Might be an option for you.
