I met with the financial aid department (Bryant and Stratton) today and after all my loans and grants from FAFSA were in place, there was about $1500 left for each semester. (They only do two semesters at a time) Where could I apply for extra scholarships/grants to help cover this leftover tuition? The school offers monthly payment plans so I would have to pay $375 a month. Working only three days a week just doesn't cover it plus the school is an hour away so gas money is also an issue. Any ideas?

May I ask what kind of citation you had?

anyone

A problem a friend and I both have encountered is our GPA. We both had attempted several years back and the timing was just not right. Since returning to school we have both gotten either an A or B in all our classes BUT our cumulative GPA is drastically lower now because of our previous attempts where we had ended up failing the classes because we either did not withdraw or drop. I never knew that those attempts would follow when I decided to actually try my hardest. So now without getting a straight A in all the classes it seems we don't have any luck staying in a nursing program.

lol .. lil wayne fan are you? Your sooooo young! If you want to become a nurse and your sure about it, stay in school. Don't drop out.. trust me.. you will get nowhere fast just getting a fulltime job. BTW, what kind of FT job would you try to get? I don't know if you live at home with parents or what not but if your smart you will stay in school. I dropped out when I was your age and I wish I would have stuck with it because I would be in a much better place than I am now trying to go back at my age! What state are you in??

Something is fishy here and sounds like fraud to me... 3k??? FOR TRANSCRIPTS? Where did you attend?

How do you like it at BS? I am looking into applying for their nursing program as they have no waitlist like every other college around here.

Have you made your final choice yet? I just met with admissions last week and today I received a call stating the person I met with is no longer an employee with them...?? A little strange indeed. It seems some love BS while others hate it, however, I think that happens at any college. I love the idea of not having to go through any petioning but am hesitant because no one in my area has heard of this college. (It is about 70 miles away)

It doesn't seem that many WI nurses post so I am also posting this here.. Hello all! An issue has arised in my life and consequently all my dreams sit in the hands of the city attorney. Ever since I was ten years old, I knew I belonged in the medical field. Iv solutions and syringes were cleverly constructed from household items so I could heal my friends during imaginative play. Summer 2011 was my first semester back to college (2nd attempt after dropping out right after high school to tend to personal needs) and I currently finished my third semester today! :) It blows my mind to know that once I truly set my mind to do something, I can achieve it. I started this attempt at school with the attitude that "I will not set myself up for failure", and have set strict guidelines for study, homework, work, sleep and very little play. Since doing that my grades have stayed at the A level, however, I feel my chemistry exam I finished today will leave me with a B. I left my apartment, left my friends and moved back home with my parents. Okay back to my real issue... A few weeks back I was with a friend and we were picked up for "theft", however I never left the store. I did not have intent to steal from the store. I had money with me and I never went passed the point of purchase. My friend however did have the intent to steal and had taken one of the tags off a shirt and left it in the dressing room. Well I didn't want her to get in trouble to I grabbed it and threw it in my pocket and I was just going to ditch it when I went to pay for my stuff. Anyways long story short, we were approched by LP from the store, said if we cooperated she would not call the police (even though she already called before coming to get us). The police officer did not even want to charge me with anything because of the fact I never left the store, hence I never had a chance to commit a crime but ended up issueing me a non-criminal citation violation for retail theft in the amount of (0.00-9.00) when the store claimed I stole 108.00 dollars worth of clothes. This is the only thing on my record and I have since hired an attorney to fight this seeing how I have a lot on the line and for the fact that I never left the store. I have no idea what is going to happen although my attorney feels as if I have a good fighting chance and that it will just be dropped or some other deal might get worked out but the problem is now my school has taken away all my financial aid and refuses to let me take my summer classes of biochemistry and ap1 which start in five days. Unless I want to pay for them out of pocket then I may do that BUT I received an email from the nursing program director stating that I should start checking into other nursing schools in the area due to the fact that their school clinical sites have refused anyone with "theft", criminal or non-criminal charges from performing clinical rotations. This whole issue has really opened my eyes to the saying "you are who your friends are" and now that my whole entire life is up in the air I just feel like crawling in a hole and dying. I have crazy dreams associated with finishing my nursing career. Dreams of doing nursing missions in third world countries, flight nursing and medical breakthroughs. Without the chance of becoming a nurse I am not sure what else there is out there in regards to careers that I would feel at home. Hospitals and medicine are my passion. What do you guys think, do I still have a chance of one getting into a program for nursing seeing how my current school has already pretty much kicked me out of their school, and two even if I can find a school that will take me, will the state even allow me to take the state exam? Anyone else in the same boat? It is just crazy to me that I might not have a shot at my passion but another girl in school I know is a convicted felon for delivery of cocaine yet she has been accepted into the business management program AND receives 2100.00 more than myself in grants for the year.. while I work every weekend and she does not have a job.. The system is messed up. Anyways.. I know I wrote a lot here but I am reaching out for thoughts, advice, similar stories. Again my charge is STILL pending and it was a city violation charge equal to that of a speeding ticket or loud noise...etc.... Thanks in advance!!!
