Hello All! I am currently awaiting acceptance/rejection letters from the schools I applied to for Fall 2012. I am desperate for tuition money! I have worked my way through my pre-reqs and can not see myself being able to afford Nursing School. I attend a community college, and am looking to obtain my ADN. The school I attend, does not accept student loans at all. They only accept scholarships and Federal and State Financial Aid. Problem is, I am not eligible for either. I am 19 years old, live at home, and therefore, the government *thinks* my parents can afford school for me since they ''make enough''. But they are in a lot of debt, and I am responsible for paying my tuition 100% on my own. I didn't get much money back from claiming it on their taxes either (my tuition had to be claimed on their taxes since I'm a dependent...yet I pay.. UGH). ANNNYWAYY... I NEED scholarships. I have been googling and haven't come up with any. In theory I will be able to work through Nursing school, since it's ironically cheaper than my prereqs, but I donot want to have to work 5 days a week. I am currently working 5 - 6 days a week (about 36 hours) and taking 14 credits of school. I am managing, but will NOT be successful in the Nursing Program if I keep this up til then. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly greatly greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I know a girl who got her Bachelors in BioChem, and had a 3.5 GPA but couldn't get into PA school (I know its not nursing but hear me out). What she did, was she retook a few core classes at the local Community College that she had originally gotten Bs in, and got As instead. (Anatomy 1 & 2, Micro, Organic Chem) She got accepted next time around. Maybe you'll have to do something similar to that. Good luck!
