ALOHA! need help!

Hello fellow health care workers!

I am to this site and would like some information on getting scholarships, grants, aids, and maybe loans for my nursing career. Currently, I am an ER techy at a level 2 trauma center in Hawaii. I've been doing this for about 4 years now and working on my prereqs for nursing school.
Where have you all gone to get help? I am looking of moving towards the mainland and ditching this rock cause the nursing programs here won't accept me cause there is a waiting list and they wanted me to get at least 12 credits from thier school before I get into thier nursing program.

I am considering of leaving everything behind... ie. selling my truck leaving, my puppy, leaving my personal belongings... stuffs like that.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mahalo,
Scotty
