leeroijaewon I think it varies from person to person but alot of times i think the student loans and pell grant amount, if you qualify, cover the entire cost of the program. I have it set up where my payments don't start until after I graduate from t...

Hey acorne. Sonya is right. The medical stuff is the most complicated. I have already been to my doctor twice and have to go back the first of July to finish things up. If you are going to do the Hep B series you may want to get started with that ASA...

Hey 1stlady I asked that question at my financial aid appt and was told they have to be all white. I asked about the shox that you are talking about in paticular. I found a pair of cool Nike's, the old classic style, at Shoe Carnival for $60. They ha...

Hey Kathy I sent a friends request on face book to you Michelle so don't delete me. lol That was a cool idea!

lasdrs I think I would call again a few times on Monday. If you don't get her maybe you should tell whoever answers the phone your situation. They really seem to be helpful whenever I have called. You are going to worry yourself sick.

preemiemama we have issues when it comes to these smilies!:lol_hitti:rckn:

:grpwlcm: INparrothead! You will find alot of helpful / supportive info in this group.

Ok acorne the financial aid appt was a breeze! The stafford loan is the way to go it does work like I explained and you don't make any payments until after you graduate. They have a list of about 6 different lenders to choose from.

Hey acorne I have my financial aid appt today at 2 so I will post what I find out. I did a little research on the stafford loan which seems to be the best way to go. The interest rate is around 6% and they let you extend it for 10 years if you want. ...

That sounds good preemiemama. How about we all try something for next Saturday (June 6th) maybe around 5. Hey everyone post what is good for you!

Hey lasdrs double check that cpr date I have it down for Wednesday July 22, 5-9pm. It may be because I am doing nights (probably is). Ok everyone, now that we know we have been accepted (lasdrs you had us all holding our breath since you were the l...

Look in your acceptance packet there are 2 forms that you need to send back. The one saying you will be attending the start date that was offered to you and there is also one for the cpr registration. I faxed both of mine in today. The financial aid ...

WE TOLD YOU LASDRS!!!!!!:ancong!: Ok, I so love these smilies! The only bummer here is I am the only one attending nights:o It's ok though we all have the same goal! Hey preemiemama that's a great idea we should all try to meet up for dinner sometime...

Thanks slmcdo05 I will be happy with whatever help I can get. I just hope I can get a loan for the full amount that I will owe. We are going to have enough start up expenses. I think it is cool that you and your husband are doing this together. 1stL...

There is so much to do and like you all I am worried about the financial part. slmcdo05 you seem to know about the pell grant and financial part of all of this. I assume the higher your EFC the less amount of money you qualify for. I have a feeling m...

Hey Sonya, I have to attend nights since I have a full-time day job. I can't afford to give it up right now. It is going to be a busy 21 months (that's how long it takes for nights) for me but where there's a will there's a way right? I hope my EFC i...

Welcome Slmcdo! Not to be nosy (well maybe a little) but when I did the financial aid app my EFC was 3908. I am a single mom with one child and make an ok income but not enough to pay this out of pocket. I think the max pell grant per year is 5200 a...

Hey lasdrs, I got my acceptance packet today (saturday) but I live right here in Louisville about 15 minutes from Galen. I would think you will get yours on Tuesday (since Monday is a holiday). I hope you get it soon there is alot of stuff that has t...

That is so cool acorne...me too!!!! There is alot of info in there. I have filled out all of the financial aid paperwork so I can call on Tuesday and make my financial aid appt. Have you thought about how you are going to handle the physical and proo...

Hey everyone been checking out places that we could get our textbooks cheap. Every penny helps! This site seems very reasonable. I called and talked to them and she said if there is a book that we need that isn't listed on the site to call her and sh...

Hey everyone I just talked to an assitant registrar at Galen she said that she had alot of accpetance packets being mailed out this afternoon for all of us that are still waiting!:yeah:I am attending nights but I don't think that makes a difference.

Thanks for the info kaylee. I will most likely have to have the titer done. I know I had chicken pox as a kid but can you imagine trying to get medical records from 1977.

As far as shot records I have them but they are ancient I am probably the oldest in this bunch at 36. I hope everything I need is on there. Didn't know anything about a titer test just another thing to figure out. Thanks kaylee...lol:chuckle. The wai...

That actually made sense. Good job explaining it. The problem with me is I will be going part-time at nights so its going to take me 21 months to finish the lpn program. The EFC is based on a years time so I am not sure how that affects me or if it s...

Hey kayleeandJacob thanks for the info! On the pell grant part did you do the federal student aid application on line? I did and it gave me my EFC (estimated family contribution). Do you know if that means that amount is all that I should have to pay...
