I was enrolled in an Associates degree nursing program for a full year. I did very well in the Foundations of Nursing(first semester) as well as the clinical aspects. However, when Med-Serg rolled around I had a harder time with it. The passing grade in the school was an 80, and I received a 76 on my final exam which resulted in a grade of an F and to be terminated from the school. It was completely devestating and discouraging.
6 months later I'm ready to get back into nursing school and I'm currently searching for one in the NY/NJ area My parents no longer support my decision to be a nurse because they refuse to pay for school anymore. I am desperately seeking advice about student loans/grants/scholarships/financial aid. I am a young Caucasian female and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get through school. I'm worried that I'm going to have a hard time getting a loan because I don't have good credit and I don't have anyone to cosign. I dont know why they make it so hard for someone to get into school to be a nurse when theres such a shortage! I really need some guidance, since I'm doing this all on my own. Any input can help
