Hello all. I am applying to the nursing program this April for the fall. I won't find out if I am accepted into the program until this summer, but I need to fill out my FAFSA and am usually offered Stafford Loans to pay for tuition.
I don't know what to do about taking a loan out to pay for living expenses if I do get into the program.
Should I go ahead and file my FAFSA and accept the Stafford loan, then if I get in to the program, apply for another loan?? I'm so stressed out.
I can't work if I'm in the program, but I have a car payment, credit card payment, and groceries to pay for.
What kind of loan should I get to pay for all of these things? I go to a community college and the Stafford loans now barely cover my books and tuition.
Any advice would be great. I'm so stressed out, I'm about to just give up on nursing all together!!
