I completely agree with both @williams3929 and @elektrisk564. To be successful as a nurse and to be the best nurse possible for your patients you have to have a passion for nursing. It's a tough job and you work hard for the money you make. You wil...

I received my award notification email last Wednesday and declined the award today. I live in Maine and there were no qualified facilities with in a 3 hour radius of me. I can not relocate as I have children in school and own my house. I am just g...

YES! I got a CNA job and I have learned more about patient care than I ever thought I would. Clinical is great, but you are only there for a short amount of time. Only being a CNA for a three months, I have seen and learned more than I did in a ye...

I'm not trying to discourage ANYONE from taking the scholarship. It is an incredible opportunity. I just want to make sure everyone does their research and is able to find a place to work after all is said and done. The money is great now, but def...

I can't be that flexible as I have kids in school and I don't want to move them. I have been stressing over this for a week and am happy with my decision to decline the award. It is a lot of pressure to graduate, pass NCLEX and find a job in 6 mont...

Find Shortage Areas: HPSA by State & County You can look by state and county or put in an address. The score has to be above 14 in order to qualify. I have a very large facility that is close to me that have a score of 12 but does not qualify. ...

To all that received the scholarship and those that have not PLEASE do your research to see if there is a qualified facility near you. I have been researching for the past three days and I can not find a qualified facility with in 3 hours of where I...

I live in Maine and my EFC is 680. I have two years left in my BSN program. 3.87 GPA and I attend a private school so the tuition is pretty steep. I applied for the scholarship last year and did not get it.

I just received the email today saying I was awarded the scholarship! I never had my credit checked, live in Maine, BSN student with last name that starts with W. I am so excited!

It is possible! I work 30 hours a week and am taking 5 classes, which includes a lab and a clinical. Time management is key. Taking a little extra time in the beginning of the semester to organize your classes and assignments is a huge help. I als...

Dannyjdr I was in the same boat as you. I went to nursing school right after high school and did not do well at all. I was much more interested in friends and parties than actually going to class. I left school after three semesters because I coul...

I am starting my sophomore year (first clinical year) in a BSN program. I have 5 classes, which include a lab and a clinical. I have classes 3 days a week, 8:30 to 2:30 and clinical/lab on the 4th day. One day off. Most nursing programs I have lo...

I worked two jobs (one part time and one full time) while taking all of my pre-requisites at a local community college. I paid off all my previous debt (credit cards, car loans) and put some money in a savings account. I start my BSN program next w...

I just graduated from YCCC with my Associates Degree in Liberal Arts. It's a great school, small classes and the instructors are great. If you need help, I highly recommend visiting the learning center. You can get help in almost every subject. I...

I'm a current nursing student but have been looking at the job market to see what is available in this area. Maine Med has quite a few RN jobs open for experienced nurses. I would also check Mercy Hospital and Southern Maine Medical Center (30 minu...

Looking at last year, many people didn't have their credit checked well into August. Mine hasn't been checked either but still hopeful.

I started the process over 2 years ago. I have applied to 4 different schools and was accecpted into only one. My GPA is a 3.87 and I have an associates degree in liberal arts. I almost gave up many times but am so glad I did not. I am starting a...

Me too! No updates what so ever. My account still says "under review." The suspense is killing me.
