Background check and Drug Test Question

[dedwardsissie]

If I get accepted into the nursing program I have to pay for the background check and drug test, unfortunately I am broke, how long do they give you to come up with the money? Also, does financial aid usually cover the nursing program? Thanks for your help!

You will need to file your fafsa if you havent done so already. There are some rules in regards to financial aid so I would check the FAFSA website to determine if you are eligible. But usually nursing school would be covered.

For my school the charge of the drug test & background check were added to my tuition bill. However those fees were very minimal. (I believe around 35) I spent more on immunizations which were out of pocket.
