accelerated BSN program

Hello EveryoneI am a regular participant of allnurses since 2012.I am from India and have current license of pharmacy technician and Licensed practical nurse. i applied the first time for the accelerated BSN program in Regis College, Massachusetts and get accepted. My program is going to start from January 20th, 2015 .

I am not doing any job. I want to focus on my study and try to maintain a good GPA. my husband is a doctor and have a good income. do I have a chance to get financial aid or scholarships in Massachusetts. I never apply any loan or financial aid , my GPA in prerequisite courses is A. Any tips or suggestion.

Your husband is a physician and you are an immigrant looking for financial aid. This is what's wrong with this country!

first thing i am a citizen of USA, second if i am a immigrant is it a crime to looking for financial aid?

The OP said her husband is a doctor and has a good income, to me that says you don't need to seek financial aide!

I am US born and cannot even get financial aide, I think it is wrong that someone who came to this country and either has worked a short time or not at all qualifies for my federal tax money. I worked full time during all of my schooling and find it appalling that someone who clearly states they do not need to work because their husband makes enough money, is even going after financial aide! Save it for people who truly need it and get a job to work for school if you need to!

I am truly against people asking for handouts when they do not need it! Thats my federal tax money that I worked full time during school to donate to the government so they can hand it out to immigrants that don't feel like working during school or paying for it!
