  8. No financial aid unless accepted to nursing program?

    maggie24 replied to dolphin2027's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Out here in Cali, financial aid is based on need, not on the classes you take. I am assuming that since the FAFSA is federal, it is the same in every state. You fill out a FAFSA, and based on your...

    maggie24 replied to aabdelhadi88's topic in General Nursing

  19. Will it matter that I have a non-nursing B.S.?

    maggie24 replied to maggie24's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks! I think now I understand better what BSN's learn in school versus ADN's. But, this does not make sense to me: If I go back and get a B.S.N as a nurse with a B.S. in Health Care Admin, there...
