pre-nursing students with a Bachelors having trouble with getting loans?

[CorazonDeOro]

I was wondering if anyone with a previous bachelors has had any trouble with student loans. I decided to do an ADN program, rather than an Accelerated Second Degree program (due to the cost), but I just found out that my community college has new limits on federal loans which I am close to reaching. I already have some student loan debt from my other degree (both private and federal) and I am worried I will not get approved for any more federal loans (even though the government limits are WELL above what I currently owe). I am afraid I will not be able to work enough once I am in the program and won't be able to afford tuition, and supplies! I dont understand why this school can place different limits on me, considering I am looking for a loan not a grant!

Any advice from those who have gone back to school after getting one degree????? I really dont want to take out more private loans if I can avoid it.

hmmm good to know! The difference may be that yours were already paid off. I've put a pretty big dent in my loan balance but still owe. When I get a free afternoon I will apply to the school I'm looking at and do the fafsa.

Thanks!
