Thanks for your encouragement. Anyone out there know of any scholarships I can apply for?

Thanks for the advice. I'm only planning on working FT during my pre-reqs, but when I start the program, I plan to just work weekends, part time. I too did not have a great family situation wihch is why I moved out.

Thanks for your advice. No, once in the program, I plan on just working weekends part time. I will be getting a pell grant which will cover tuition and hopefully books. I also qualify for two loans which I am considering taking if I decide on getting a new car. My car may be able to hold up, but I've always heard its not good to drive after 200,000miles..... You have to forgive me, i'm only 22, and am learning about life. lol!

Thanks for the motivation. Do you plan on workin fulltime once in the program?

hello everyone, this is my first time here at allnurses.com. i am currently going into my last year of pre-reqs, and i have done fine up until this point. however, this will be my first year out on my own(with boyfriend) and returning to school. i know i will be able to work and do my pre-reqs this year as i am only enrolled part-time. however, i hope to start the nursing program next summer, and i may need to look into getting a new car(mine is approching 200,000 miles, and starting to tear up:crying2:). my concern is this: is it difficult to work, go to nursing school, pay bills and have a car payment? my boyfriend and i split rent and utility bills, but have our own seperate personal bills. any advice on how to survive this is greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.
