Hello, I'm a nurse working full-time with 3 years experience on a step down floor. I just started in the ICU this June in Austin, TX. I want to get my 2 years experience in the ICU to seek CRNA. I live in an apartment here in Austin, Texas with my fiance. I plan to pay for my chem courses (prerequisites). However, ...-Will the FAFSA (federal aid) help me? -Will I qualify?-Has someone in my position been helped?I know there's scholarships out there. But I would like to try FASFA first. About scholarships for grad students pursuing CRNA, I would appreciate your input on any type of financial help out there. Thanks. BSN Santiago

I borrowed as little as possible-just tuition that I didn't get covered all the way. I rent most books and I don't have any other real costs.
