2. Far from new grad

   Soon2bFNP replied to Soon2bFNP's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, I will more than likely have to get student loans. The Institute of Higher Learning also awards scholarships up to $4,000 full time or $8,000 part-time with a 2 year committment. This will not be enough for school, so I was wondering if I sho...
