All of the classes I ever took at PTI were able to transfer to a community college.

Thank you for your advice. It's just really stressful and anxiety inducing. I am going to talk to the program here in Mass as you suggested and see what they think my options could be. I'm also going to contact some schools back home and see what my options are. It just sucks to have to go through the application process and wait list again. I really do appreciate your support.

I wanted to check in-- How is the program going for you? Congrats on your hard work!!

Hey everyone. I am sort of in a dilemma. A few years ago, I moved out-of-state with my boyfriend and everything was fine. I worked for a year to get into a Associates Nursing program at a local Community College in Massachusetts. I got accepted and I start in Sept. This should be exciting... Right? Well I am actually really overwhelmed because my boyfriend and I have been on the rocks for awhile and there is no sign of it getting better. I am really far away from my family, going to be 27 years old, and can only pay my bills with the hours I am working while in school. I would have to be dependent on someone for rent. I spoke with Financial Aid at my school and asked about living expense loans and such. They basically told me I am in a really bad spot as loaners will see that I make "good money" as it's based off of when I would be working FT and then this program is "Part-Time" for the first two semester and then is taken as FT. Meanwhile I say "Part-Time" because the hours aren't different than the second year. So anyways.... I am kind of stuck and freaking out. What should I do about my upcoming school program? Should I back out and move back home to Pittsburgh and start the school process all over? Is it easier to transfer to another program? There is no where for me to go physically and I cannot afford rent with all the bills I have right now and then having my hours cut by more than half. Please help with guidance or suggestions. Thank you!!
