Hi I can think of 2 things before seeking out loans: snya has NYS funding and you may be eligible. It's not a loan program so there is no payback and no "strings attached". It is state funding awarded to an association . Also you may qualify for an "...
The particulars of the SNYA work commitment was from different programs from previous grants. As grant awards change, and employment situations change, programs adjust too. At least there is still funding available to hlp with the costs. Glad to he...

Best wishes. If you are accepted to LPN school, live in NYC, LI, or Westchester, you may be able to apply for funding sponsorship with SNYA, awarded funded for 2010-2011 for LPN education and employment under a grant from NYS DOH.
Good luck. If you get in, it might be helpful to check to see if there is funding to help pay the educational expenses.The health Workforce grants have been awarded, and you may qualify.
Creating a specific prep plan focuses efforts. That's why I like NCSBN program because it has a focus. so it becomes guided effort instead of random effort. Also, attitude and anxiety play a big part. i have had students who came into our NCLEX pract...

i think you definitely need to prepare. I have posted suggestions about prep, repeating the test, and confidence- building. It is not a question of luck- it is about the preparation you undertake. Best wishes!
Good luck, read my last replies about repeat test takers, anxiety and stress reudction/confidence-building workshops and my suggestion about combining KAPLAN book methodology with NCSBN question bank. These are some components of my successful formu...

Beliefs and confidence building are essential. Anxiety and panic block your ability to think clearly and critically. Obviously there can be an effect on NCLEX. I have asked if anyone has heard of any workshops for this. I 've used it in the past and...
