@LPN2RN13..CLUVLPN pretty much sums it up about the financial aid. Financial aid is available if qualified. I had to use loans and pay some out of pocket. All payments are due before the first day of class. I have been approved and waiting to start class in Sept2013. I was told that we will get our schedule on the day of orientation. Thanks for all the information CLUVLPN, it really helped me to get an idea of what to expect. Best of luck ladies!!!
