funny i am a single mother with full time custody of my son and i got barely any grant money, on top of it all i was just recently laid off, the money is seriously gonna kill me, i have been looking for scholarships everywhere.

Oh and the HESI is pretty easy, i haven't been in school or done testing in well over a decade....

are the questions on the HESI exam similar to the practice test in the book? what parts should I focus on studing on?

So, Are you planning on Kaplan Vista? This is what I have come to learn. I have been to the community college and have all my pre req's done with a 3.8. The wait there and every other community college is about three years or you might be lucky if their school is on the random GPA list. My school takes 36 per year and they have about 300 applicants. I have checked with West Coast Univ. $126.000. Guaranteed a seat. BSN RN. National Universithy RN 86,000 (CA) 2000 applicants 200 seats per year and a point system. Kaplan San DIego 50,000 and now they are competitive using degrees and medical experience as the guidelines. I am a more seasoned student( past 40+) Kaplan Vista 31,000 . You will have about 21,000 in guaranteed student loans and will have a gap of about $10,000. My plan is take that LVN, go though the college network if you don't have your req's and pick up my Rn BSN through Indiana State. The only on line rn program approved in California (in partners with Sonoma State. Even as a military spouse, you can finish this up anywhere, even with kidlings. Always make sure that the info you are getting is correct. This is your career and life. Pick up the phone and ask. Go on line to Indiana State Univeristy Distance Nursing, it is for reali. After 18 months of visiting every situation. FOR ME, Kaplan lvn will work. I am starting Oct in Vista and could not be more excited. PS West Coast University offers a lvn program, 13 months, $70,000. You will be working long before those student loans are due. Do the math!:yeah:

i am starting Kaplan in Vista as well in October, the loans are scary but in the end i know it will all pay off. Hey we will probably be running into each other then. i to am older so i'm nervous since i know most students will be younger.

i took my hesi the day i went in and passed. i'm hoping to start in october but it depends on a few other things, i was accepted but i can't afford it.

Hey Damaged Siren,

Glad to know there is someone else out there like me I will be driving up from Temecula. Where are you? I doubt that we will be the oldest broads in the class, just remember, 50 is the new 40.
