Is this in the wrong thread? I noticed over 60 people have viewed this but no one has commented.... Thanks.

Although I realize that different loan forgiveness/scholarship programs that require a work commitment might vary, I have a general question about the nature of such programs. I was just recently accepted into an accelerated BSN program that allows me to sub-matriculate into MSN provided I achieve a high enough GPA. After shadowing a CRNA as well as some other specialties, I feel as though that is the career path that I wish to follow. The sub-matriculation requires that I spend approximately 2 years in an ICU setting which I am told (by advisors)new graduates typically are able to do rather quickly due to how respected the school is in the area. In order to help pay for school I have researched several scholarship programs through hospitals that help cover tuition in exchange for ~two years experience. However, they do not specify where you will be working within the hospital... Generally speaking, how do these programs work? Is it possible to be placed in ICU through any of these programs? ATTN: This would not be as much of a concern if the sub-matriculation into MSN did not want me to complete within 5 years (including BSN portion). Unfortunately I fear that such scholarships will not be possible for me if I cannot begin ICU experience rather quickly. Sorry for being a bit wordy but some background was needed for the question... :thankya:
