Paying for nursing school!!!

The hospital I work at will pay for everything including books and parking for a 2 year commitment. I only have to work 16 hours a week to be eligible. I think it is worth it but I know quite a few people that are afraid to make the commitment. I'm sure there are many hospitals with similar programs if you check into it.

Anyone have any ideas on where I can find scholarships for nursing? I looked through several websites and I found some. I need one that will be willing to pay for everything since there is a nursing shortage. I am surprised but there should be a lot more enticement in getting into the field.

I dont know where you live, but here in Texas, I think in certain circumstances the Texas Workforce Commission will pay for everything in the nursing program. My brother works there and he told me to check into it when I get closer to getting in to the program. I know you have to be a single mom and there are other criteria to meet, but maybe there is something like that where you live. Check around really good.
