Anybody out there from my area?

Well I guess I'm the only one up here that lives in the Goldsboro, NC area. How about anyone that wants to talk about their story?

I live in Goldsboro and I'm planning to apply to the Wayne ADN program next fall. Working on my pre-reqs now as well. Happy to hear you are returning home to your family! :)

Good to hear from you! I was beginning to think I was the only one here going to WCC. What pre-reqs do have left? I've still got to take A&P 1,2 and micro. I can't wait to get back to my family and to school!!

I still have to take A&P I and II. I just finished a bachelors degree in history, so this will be my second go round! Are you applying to other programs nearby?

I thought about applying to Lenoir CC, but I really want to go to WCC.

I know this may be personal, but I am just wondering how you're paying for your education since you already have a bachelor degree. I am worried about finishing my psychology degree because I am already on full financial aid and I don't know if I will get any aid afterward since I will have completed my bachelor degree.

Obviously, I will search for employment, but I have two children in daycare and it is expensive! So, any information that you are willing to give about your financial situation and if you received enough aid to cover prerequisites or will receive enough aid for the program once you are admitted will be greatly appreciated.

Also, I live in Raleigh and have a grandmother in Goldsboro. I love the area! :)

I'm happy to share! I was lucky to receive several scholarships when I began my history degree, but I do have loans. My husband has a good job and thankfully we could live off I one income when I go back. If we couldn't, I would have to work in my field longer to be able to afford it. I also don't have any children. I was able to take a few pre-reqs with my history degree (we had 30 hrs of electives, which I chose to use for sciences because I originally thought about applying to PA school). I will have to pay for some out of pocket, but check into a forgivable education loan - I think there is some info on cfnc.org. Other than that, it's just spending and saving as wisely as we can! It has been tight at times but it's an investment we were both willing to make so that I could have a job I loved one day. :)

I am applying to LCC as well but WCC is my first choice. Feel free to message me if you want to chat!
