I am lucky enough to work for a local hospital that offers a $10,000 scholarship program and we also have tuition assistance/promissory note. Just found out a couple of days ago. I sign my contract to commit to work for them for 1 year. :bowingpur

Cold, h
ard cash and a part time job.

I just have to chime in here. I say apply for those scholarships. I'm a RN student planning graduation in May, then NCLEX in June, 2008. I was recently selected as the second yr student from my school to receive the local hospital's foundation $2000. scholarship. All I did was fill out their very easy questionaire! I was so happy I was in tears over it!:cry:

Apply, apply, apply. You never know when someone might just decide to bless you with a free semester's classes!:)

My employer is paying my tuition - the signed agreement that

I have with them is that I must work for them as an R.N. for a

minimum of three years in return. Not a bad deal, IMO..... The

only drawback is that I must go thru the local county community

college system. It's OK, but there is a wait of a year-and-a-half

to get into the nursing school. I will be long done with all of my

prerec and corec classes before a year-and-a-half is up. I know

some fellow students who will be going into nursing school right

away, but then they are paying for their own ed., taking out

loans, etc. Not an option for me - maxed out already in the debt

dept., and really have no up front money of my own. So I will

wait...... I may try to volunteer at the hospital where I work in

a non-med support job. Also may take some non-required med

classes on my own just to fill the time and keep learning while

I'm waiting.
