help? im in a rut...

hi, i've attended school for awhile now in hopes to get my RN BSN. I am now a junior. However, I ran out of money to attend to the private school that I'm going to now. I am thinking of doing an LPN program that starts in June. Should I do this? I have so much experience-all the way up to Medsurg Clinical. Is there an online associates program that I can do? somebody please help-I feel helpless and I need guidance....

I would contact financial aid and see if there are any additional waivers/grants/scholarships you could get. I find it appalling that a school could enroll students in a program that they do nto offer enough financial aid to cover. Perhaps you could look into different types of student loans, I have heard that private loans are harder to get but it might work for you.

Good lluck

I think you're close enough that you should just finish where you're at if at all possible. If you transfer to another university that is cheaper, you might find that you're spending just as much to backtrack and retake courses.

If you are already so close dont stop now! and i agree about private loans, if theres no other option you might as well look into those! you're already so close!

No, don't do it. LPN is a different mind set. You would be learning what you know all over again. Do you really want to start from square one. Finish your BSN. Talk to the school. The Grants and Scholarships are out there.

I agree with Merlyn, don't do it!! Stay where you are. Talk to financial aid, your own bank, find grants and scholarships, whatever you can! Don't give up, and don't transfer to another program. Finish your BSN, you won't regret it. Also, there are some student loans you don't have to start paying back until 6 months after you graduate...ask, ask, ask.

Like most of the above comments, I also think you should talk with financial aid. They will help you as best they can - their incentive is that they will continue to get your tuition money - from federal financial aid or private loans. Also, look into nursing scholarships- the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation had a 10,000 dollar scholarship that I was awarded when I started school.
