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

Hi,

I would first contact http://www.FASA.ed.gov

Federal Student Aid. I personally feel the money offered through most grants is hardly enough 4 school costs and living expenses ( mortage payment ect..).

What type of nursing program BSN or ADN ? I am currently attending CCSN ADN program, it's a limited entry program as most nursing program are.

In Las Vegas ..UNLV offers a BSN nursing program.

There are a lot of native Hawaiian's living here in Vegas, I think it's pretty cool!

Also ,What kind of puppy do U have?

I have a big Black Lab. and 3 little dogs they are so much fun 2 have. :)

Just an extra note most airlines will allow pets on the plane if it's a med. -small you can have them with you when U fly.

Best of Luck 2 U !
