I have completed all of my prerequisites for nursing and my counselor told me i have a solid chance of getting into the program. How in the world am i going to live? I am single with no kids, but i have a brand new car note and the apartments i live in are not cheap. I have to work to live!!!! Anyone else in the same situation?

You need to know that piling up some debt is a normal thing. The payoff will come soon after you graduate. Do not stress out about this. In the meantime, check out some of the many scholarships out there, and look into federal, stafford, loans etc... You could do a search on this sight for scholarship-site links and loan info. There is plenty of info here. If you need to work, look for a job at a hospital as a pca or extern and see if the hospital has tuition assistance or forgiveness. These jobs are usually felxible to students' schedules as well.

Be thankful that you are close to getting into school. When in school, live modestly. It will be easy to do with all the staying in and studying you'll be doing.
