Hey all. I have a question for you in Fort Worth--which school do you think has a better program--TCC or UTA? Ive attended both and acutually graduated with BS from UTA. I want to do the nursing program but worried about spendig the time and money to take my pre reqs and then not getting accepted in. What heppens if you dont make the cut? Do you keep re-applying every semester?
Those programs are great, unfortunately for me they are strongly need based, as in you have to have an EFC of 0 to qualify. My husband has a decent job, though we are by no means well off, so I don't qualify! FAFSA does not take many things into consideration, including the fact that we are paying for his college (TCC) out of pocket with no help! If you qualify, I say go for those, from what I researched, the high need areas that you have to agree to work in would be pretty much any hospital anywhere!

There also "loans" available though for nursing that are not available to other students and as I recall, they are available to second degree students. Check with the US department of health and human services. You usually have to agree to work in certain areas when you finish school to "pay it back" so they call them loans, but essentially they are forgiven if you meet the requirements and so they become a grant.
