My ex is going through a similar situation in Missouri. He completed his LPN program and applied to take the boards and was denied by the state. He has a misdemeanor marijuana charge and two driving under the influence charges on his record. He has hired an attorney and will be appealing the states decision. His is still in out patient rehab and is no longer using drugs. He is also having people write notorized statements on his behalf. What I have told him is that they can't legally hold anything against you for the rest of your life. You have paid your "debt" to society and have moved on with your life. What you should do is hold your head high and fight for the right to be a nurse. Your hard work and dedication should make it happen. I am in nursing school and am having problems with paying for it, but refuse to let money get in the way of my dream. I truly wish you the best of luck and hope that an attorney will be able to help. Best wishes, Mary

I can't get private loans because I have not built up enough credit history and don't have anyone who can co-sign. A yard sale is a good idea. Thanks

Thanks! I need lots of luck right now!

Hello all! I am currently in my last few months of LPN school and need ideas on how to pay for school. I am working as a CNA in a LTC facility and can't get help with school from them. This is not because of my work, but because of the budget. They have even put a hold on raises. Anyway, I am about 6500 dollars short and can't get anymore federal loans. I am trying to get a 3000 dollar grant from kansas works, which will still leave me with 3500 to owe. I have worked so hard and don't want money to get in the way. I would like to find a facility in the Kansas City area that will hire me as a CNA and let me sign a contract to work for them as an LPN. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
