Hi!!

I haven't yet started Nursing school (going to alverno Jan 2007), but try checking out http://www.discovernursing.com If you do a search in their scholarship section you will see jobs willing to provide financial assistance if you commit to a desiginated number of years service to their hospital. Although I'm not sure if there are any Wisconsin hospitals listed there it's worth a try. There was another website but through the federal gov't that would forgive your loans if you agreed to work in areas with nursing shortages and many urban clinics in Milwaukee as well as rural parts of Wisconsin were listed. I'll try to look up the other link and post it later.

**EDITED TO ADD ADDITIONAL LINKS** I found the links I was looking for. However they are geared towards those pursuing advanced practice nursing (NP or Nurse Midwife)

I've been checking out scholarships to help me get started because I already owe a sizeable amount in loans due to my previous degree.
