3. Financial Aid Denial Please Help

   k&k'z mom replied to Melsturn23's topic in General Students

   This same thing happened to me....last semester I was supposed to start nursing classes and applied for financial aid. I already have a Bachelor's so I was over on my hours. I filed an appeal and was granted aid for 16 of the 31 hours that I would ...

   Just to follow-up with everyone....I decided to hold out for Forest Park and am starting in January!! I am very, very glad that I made the decision to wait. The only thing that I am having trouble with is securing part-time or prn employment. I ha...

5. Financial Aid

   k&k'z mom posted a topic in General Students

   To get financial aid, we must have a 66.6% completion rate of all classes. Due to some stupid decisions 15 years ago, I dropped several classes and now have a 65.3% completion rate so now am being denied a Stafford Loan and therefore will not be abl...

6. PCA/PCT

   k&k'z mom posted a topic in Missouri

   I was wondering if anyone could tell me about how much a PCA or PCT should expect to make at a St. Louis hospital? I know the wage could vary, but I would just like to get a ballpark idea because I am considering pursing a position while I am in sch...

7. Anyone starting at Flo this fall?

   k&k'z mom replied to k&k'z mom's topic in Missouri

   I started out at 70-something before they sent out any letters. Then I got a letter saying it was probable that I would get in for fall (I was like #8 on the waiting list at that point). Then, a few weeks later, I got one saying that I am in for su...

9. Barnes Accelerated Prereq Question

   k&k'z mom replied to tcameron921's topic in Missouri

   STLCC offers some of their science classes as "hybrid" classes where you are responsible for learning lecture material (via handouts, "lecture notes" that are provided, and textbook) and come in on Satuday morning for labs and tests. I took a 6-week...

10. Financial Aid Denial???

    k&k'z mom replied to k&k'z mom's topic in Missouri

    I know that I am not eligible for grants or some scholarships since I have a degree already. And I have never had a loan/grant or any type of federal financial aid before. They said that financial aid is only available up to 150% of the hours requi...

11. Financial Aid Denial???

    k&k'z mom posted a topic in Missouri

    Does anyone who attended STLCC have experience with being denied financial aid? I was denied because I have "too many hours" since I completed a bachelors back in 1997. I am kinda freaking out because I was unaware of this rule and was depending up...

12. Choosing a Nursing School Path

    k&k'z mom replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in Missouri

    I am in the same boat as you are...just a little older, but with 2 kids as well. I decided to go the STLCC route for several reasons. First of all, you can complete all of your non-nursing classes while you are on the wait list...only have to do Bi...

13. Flo Valley or Forest Park?

    k&k'z mom replied to k&k'z mom's topic in Missouri

    Thanks for the response. I really had not thought about that point, but that makes sense. Did you get your PCA job before or after you started nursing school. I have applied, but haven't had much luck due to lack of experience.

14. Flo Valley or Forest Park?

    k&k'z mom posted a topic in Missouri

    I am on the waiting list at Flo and at Forest Park....looks like I may be able to get into Flo for the fall semester but Forest Park still not sure about (either Fall 09 or Spring 2010 for Forest Park). For all of you who went to STLCC, would you re...
