I'm not sure where you live, but I wanted to do the same as well, but was told I would be unable to due to already having an LPN license. It's not a rule for the board of nursing where I live, but the facilities here feel as though it is a liability ...
WIA payed for my LPN training. It didn't have anything to do with whether you are working or not, as I was working at the time and have never received unemployment, but it may vary in each state. I had Pell and WIA paid the difference and I did not g...
For my class we use Spanish for Healthcare by Patricia Rush/ Patricia Houston 2nd edition. The textbook works great for me as well as the online portion we have. It starts with the basics- Numbers, letters. Then moves on to getting history then to ac...

I am saddened by some of the replies on here. Maybe it is a joke and maybe it is not, but it really is not that odd of a question. African Americans have come a long way, but to say that discrimination is not present anywhere, would not be true. Also...
Hello, I was reading the above posts and they all make sense, but I can tell you my particular situation. I also do homecare as an LPN and the parent makes all decisions as far as feeds, medications, etc based on reccomendations by the doctor of...
I'm not sure about the GED portion, but for most school you have to take either ACT, SAT and for some schools both. You may also have to take the school's placement exams. Generally BSN programs are 4 years ( a year of prerequisite classes, then 3 ye...

Just an update for future applicants. There were around 6, 000 applicants 548 were chosen. There was an ouside source that reviewed applications and gave point values which determined who received the reward. It WAS NOT decided by a lottery. I can't ...
I am not sure about Hawaii, but in my state you are able to do that, but it depends on your facility. Some facilities will not allow someone to work below their license and others will. If it is not against the board of nursing's rules it will then b...

That's wonderful... That or maybe some people turned it down. After all of this time people may have accepted other funding. Well whatever it was. That's great to hear, I hope to see other posts like this...

I saw posted on another site that everyone will get backdated pay from July due to an increase in funding and that it was changed from past years where students did have to be in class for at least 15 days... How this will work for past recipients I'...

Sounds nice. At least it's clarified. I plan to send back my unsubsidized loans. On the federal site it say no fees/ interest will be charged if loans are sent back within 120 days. I'm up in the air about subsidized. Though, I wont do anything with ...

I've been wondering about the stipend payment as well. The award e-mail says the stipend will be back- dated from July, but does not include the portion about classes being in session for 15 days. When I filled out the application I was not taking an...

"Also on the website there's a way to look up facilities that are underserved".I was actually replying to that statement by another member. People have previously posted a link to a site that will tell you if a particular hospital is under served if ...

Yeah it's my interpretation that you can work at any of the types of facilities. I have seen that link in a previous post with the places with critical shortage, but it is for another HRSA program, not the NSP program

Wow. That's strange, she was extremely nice yesterday. And even gave me info I didn't ask for. Maybe those couple posts caused a bunch of call and maybe she was irritated by then. IDK all that matters is that you're getting it! You'll never see her a...

I have MC as well. I e-mailed her last night, but did not receive a reply. I ended up calling her around 2 pm. She was happy to look it up for me and I am a recipient. She also told me that there'd be a packet coming out in the mail... The first thin...

Maybe your friend should call to make sure. The analyst may have been mistaken or not have had the list. Did your friend get a letter in the mail? Only her and 1 other person seem to have had a mistake made and the other person got a letter in the ma...

I e-mailed my analyst last night. Have not gotten a response yet. I did receive an award letter by e-mail. I have not gotten a rejection letter in the mail so that is a good sign. I wont call unless for some reason I do get one in the mail. But I wil...

omg that is terrible. I also have MC. I just e-mailed her to verify whether I will receive the scholarship. I received the award e-mail. Did not get anything in the mail. I can't believe they could make a mistake like that. :-(
