So I've been applying to various BSN programs and one of the schools called today saying due to my GPA [transferring in] I could get a grant of $8k...keeping the faith! After the week I've had with my job saying they were closing as of December 31...this was beyond unexpected.... Grateful! 0 Likes
tyvin, BSN, RN Specializes in Hospice / Psych / RNAC. Oct 22, 2014 Was it the nursing department or financial aid that called you? Have you been accepted into the program? Just curious...as it seems odd. Grants are fine but watch out when borrowing money for school. 0 Likes
HouTx, BSN, MSN, EdD Specializes in Critical Care, Education. Has 35 years experience. Oct 22, 2014 Yes, please be cautious. This is one of the most successful sales tactics used by commercial schools. But if you're dealing with a traditional (not for profit) school, you're golden!Best of luck on your educational journey 0 Likes
Whispera, MSN, RN Specializes in psych, addictions, hospice, education. Oct 22, 2014 I agree. Please be careful. Also, make sure the school is accredited or run away faster than a speeding bullet! 0 Likes
auchiepie Oct 22, 2014 Congrats! I am also going to say be careful and look into the program that it is accredited aka be accepted as a true BSN program by the state board of nursing. Good luck! 0 Likes
