how are you and will you pay for school?

Published

Hi there, I was wondering how you all are paying for school right now? Edpecially those who are working on prereq's. I'm married and work as a nanny and my husband is a teller. We make ok money. But I want to go back to school this summer in june, which means I need to quit my wrk since they need some one in daytime. I will rob. Get a part time but my focus will be def. School. I filed fafsa and my efc score was 0 so I will be able to get at least money for my tuition. But I want to take out a loan to pay bills and rent. My husband's income alone won't cover everything. Would that be a bad idea? How lond does it take to receive a loan? Once I get on a waiting list do I have to pay the money right away? Or am I still consider to be enrolled in a school? I am suer stressed. Plz help. Thank u very much for ur time

Hi barankasia, I am not sure too how u can get a job at hospital without anyexperiences. But I'm sure that there are an opportunity wrking at hospitals. Here in az I thinlk once u finish a prereqs u get to apply for the fellowshi program which u get to have an interview and if u pass it u sing a contract with them that u are gona wrk for them for three years following graduation. Plus they will pay for ur schooling. U should try looking into things like that. Ii haven't started prereqs yet. But I'l get a financial aid and will get a loan to pay bills. It is very hard to go to school and make living. This is my first time I mactually going back to school on my own. I'm married and have to worry how to make a living without any suort from my parents. I'm very scrared too to take a leap of going to this field and worry what if it diesnt wrk out and just end up have a huge debt. I am from japan and speak english as a secoond language too. But I wana believe I can do it and will do it. And hope everything wrks out for u!!

Keep faith and everything will work itself out. That is what I have to keep reminding myself. I start an ABSN program in June, so there is no time to save for school. This will be my second degree so I am not eligible for grants. I know that God will work it out for me and make a way for me to finace my education. He has brought me this far.

You can try to get it in the hospital by doing clerical work (a lot require computer knowledge and GED or HS diploma that i have seen), you can do housekeeping, food services or go to the short CNA training and work as a CNA to help pay and all will get your foot in the door at the hospital.

I'm going straight out of high school and my parents are paying. I have a good scholarship for 2 years, and because of my mom's job I get 1/3 off my tuition all 4 years.

My daughter is going to take her two years of pre-reqs while in HS and they pay for it. After that, she is going to have to get loans
