I got the stafford loan that the school offers. You can get $9750 for the year if you need that much. I didn't look into any other loans because luckily my spouse can afford to pay the bills. Also if you have lived in TN for at least a year you will get the Naifer lottery scholarship. That will take off about $667 for each trimester. This is not based on income just residency so if you've been here for a year and you complete a Fafsa, you qualify.

I've gotten enough grant money to cover the cost of attendance, but my husband is having a hard time finding a job and I need a student loan to cover emergency expenses. He was offered a job last week and he took it, but he couldn't handle the work (he has holt oram syndrome which causes deformities in the hands and arms) and so he had to quit and now we have to wait 6-8 weeks to see if he gets to keep his unemployment. Meantime we get no income. He is, of course, still looking for work.

The TTC that I'm going to doesn't qualify for stafford loans, and I'm having a hard time finding a lender to do a private one.

Thank you though!

Wow, I wonder why they don't offer stafford loans at that TTC. Just keep positive. Everything will work out in your favor. Good luck

I went to TTC-Knoxville... haha... I recently graduated this past semester....

3 out of the 6 teachers I had totally sucked and were worthless. I felt like I wasn't prepared and that most of the teachers didn't take the program seriously. I did not have funds from the state nor through my work to help me.. But hey I passed the NCLEX I guess that's what matters the most huh?

We did learn how to do IV's BUT in the state of TN you have to be licensed for 6 mo's before you can obtain the skill professional certified and most health care establishments that you will work for will send you back for that training.
