No problem I don't think I seen you at the orientation Maricela for evening group

You lose certain financial aid once you have a degree. I have a Bachelor's too, when I tried after my associates for a second AS they said no so I went with the Bachelors. I could be wrong, this is just my experience with it. Like now, I get nothing at all but loans.

I was there with the rest of the group. I was sitting next to Carrie and I believe Christina. What is your name? I only know you by your username. I also met both Haley's. I am probably misspelling their names.

My name is Troyesha I had on a black striped shirt . NurseRobles17 I will have my associates in December and then going for my a.s in nursing in January so you think I won't get it because I will have my associates in arts? I know one lady told me it's by attempt hours and not hours that you have and it's like 118 hours per degree program idk i will just save my financial aid just in case.

I can do some research for you FutureNurse. I can't remember, let me check it out.

So I found a bit of information. It sounds like you could do both associate degrees and be ok. It's a little confusing, so don't take me as an expert.

If the student's previous degree was an Associate's degree or certificate, however, she will potentially be eligible for a Pell Grant. So long as the student has not yet received a Bachelor's degree, she remains eligible for the Pell Grant.

As of the 2012 to 2013 school year, federal financial aid guidelines have become stricter. The previous maximum of 18 semesters of Pell Grant have been reduced to a maximum of 12 lifetime semesters, and is retroactively effective.

Students opt to combine multiple 2-year degrees

This was a good read.

Future_Nurse17 · Nov 17, 2016

Thank you so much for that NurseRobles17 I appreciate that so much. I also remember the financial aid lady telling me they give additional credits for A.S for a combined 108 so I won't fall into that until after I finish nursing because I will only be taking nursing courses nothing more.

Hey guys I have questions about the vaccinations, I have most of them done but I'm worried if like I have to get them done cause it's been over ten years, I emailed the health sciences director and got no reply and went to her office and she wasn't there. So my question is it ok if my HEPATITIS B shot is over ten years ago I got all three does and the same for my varicella I got both doses. Please help

NurseRobles17 · Nov 19, 2016

Hep B doesn't matter how long ago as long as the trio matches the timeline. 1st shot, 2nd shot a month later and 3rd shot 4 months later. If your series follows that timeline you are good. For the varicella it sounds like you just need the titer to prove your immunity.
