Unknownally

I applied for Xavier School of Nursing in Stockton, CA and I cannot figure out how I'm going to pay for the school. I am currently employed but the courses are 40 hours a week, and my schedule also conflicts with it. I see the maximum federal loan is $9500, and I'm not sure how much I will get in Financial Aid. Okay, so let's say I got approved for the some of the federal loan. Does that go into an account and I can just pay the payments while attending? Then after I graduate, the leftover can be paid while I go to work? Is that how it works? Sorry I'm trying to figure this out as I will be the first one in the fam attending a vocational school. How did you Xavier students pay for tuition?

Most of you had to get anywhere from 70-80 points to get into the ADN program. I'm trying to calculate the points modestly and it seems to get that high a score, you would basically need really good grades in the prerequisites, and a really good TEAS score. Correct me if I'm wrong?
