Well, I am working full-time and my job gives a stipend. But i also have a husband which helps out a whole lot. I know it is hard though. I can't get a pell grant so i do not have a choice.

Ummmm... I'm not ...... Yet! :)

I took out max on student loans, and qualified for grants (which really helped) Alot of the Hospitals around my area will pay back some of your loans once your employed, so that will also cut back on my future payments. But as of right now, I'm not paying a cent...... In the future, well that's a different story :crying2:

Stafford Loan for tuition. Working to pay for books, supplies, my other bills and to have a little spending money. (Very Little)

To bad I couldn't get a Pell:angryfire

Mostly I pay out of our pocket. My husband's pocket that is. LOL! We also took out a credit card, to pick up what we can't afford. I am applying for p/t jobs at local hospitals in hopes of getting tuition assistance and earning extra money to offset the costs. If I get into the nursing program next year, things will be tight as I will also have to cough up money for babysitting along with school costs.

I'm paying through grants and student loans this year! I got the maximum also! Now I'm just feverishly waiting for it to be deposited in my account so I can actually pay for school! I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about the need to buy my texts and panicking -- which is totally unnecessary but, hey.
