You can get plenty of grants (if your income is low-enough) and you can get stafford loans which are not credit based. Although stafford loans aren't available to students at community colleges. You have to be pursuing a bachelor's degree at an accreditated university or college. Apply to take a few classes at a community college and then apply to a 4 year university for nursing you can get affordable school loans and get your RN. If you get your GPA high enough you can get plenty of scholarships and you won't need to get loans. Good luck! There's plenty of programs out there for you. You just have to search for them. I use http://www.fastweb.com/ as a free scholarship search. You just need to apply. They have tons of scholarships out there if you just apply there. Good luck!!

You will have to go  to a college near you and sign up. Take the pre nursing classes some of these can be on line. Then you can go part time and be home with your baby and then towards the end you will have to be gone for clinicls but if you go part time it will take you awhile so the baby may be is school.

Your local health department or hospital should be able to connect you with the local Visiting Nurses Association.  In addition to services they provide, the VNA often has a list of private duty nurses and home health assistants that you can hire privately to come to the home and clean, make meals, or even stay the night with your mom.\n\nGood luck to you.

Most complexes run one but some don't count medical.If it's a past landlord try to make it right with them.Check your credit and see what is holding you back.You might be able to pay the first 6 mos. or so to get past it.Tell the office up front that you have bad credit and see if they offer advice.Ask if you have a co-signer if it would help.Try a private owner.Ask your current landlord for a reference letter.Call the housing commission in your area.There is usually one place that will help you out but make sure you appreciate it.  Good Luck!

Unfortunately your medical assisting training will NOT let you transfer credits because what you have is vocational training, not college classes. UNLESS you have a 2 year medical assisting degree. Initially I assumed you have a medical assistant diploma from a CAAHEP or ABHES accredited vocational training institution (since you sat for the certification exam).\n\nHowever, although you have not earned college credits toward your LPN/LVN program, you have INVALUABLE experience that will help you in ways you probably never imagined!!! \n\nSo heads up. But, one more tip before I sign off: If you are thinking about becoming an LVN, I suggest you also look into an RN program. This is probably going to work out better for you in the long run!!!!

I would say in your situation that medical assisting would be the better choice. You can get your certificate in 3-6 months and then start working. \nMy niece just finished LVN school and she had to go to school Mon-Fri, 8 am to 5 pm...sometimes she would have to stay later than that. The program lasts an entire year. She was not able to work, or do anything extra because when she wasn't at school she was having to study. \nThe last semester you will also have to attend clinicals at local hospitals, nursing homes, and metal health facilities. This is on top of your classes. \nI'm not saying that it's impossible, but it would be extremely difficult if you have 2 little girls. Escpecially if you do not have a LOT of help and support at home.

You can contact a nearby state college or if you do not want bothered by them begging you to sign with them-contact a nearby hospital ask the nursing staff-I found what school I needed and what field I would like to do for know and How to get there by a local Hospital (nursing staff and nursing home)The college seem to just want me to sign with little answers.Also online nursing classes in the search engine and just start reading away.

Most important fill out your FASFA. Then talk to your counselor at school. They'll be able to tell you which ones you qualify for.

you need someone to co-sign for you a small loan at the bank. That will start your credit. As long as you pay it on time every time then you'll have good credit.

Move to Vegas and enroll in one of the dozens of dealer schools they have. If you are good with numbers and quick with your hands you shouldn't have any problems. The more hands you are able to deal out per hour the more money the casino makes. And the more money the casino makes by you being a dealer the better money you will be making. And don't forget about all the tips you will be getting!

I am an "older" nursing student. Start with the federal financial aid program. Many other programs are based on their criteria. Also check out Johnson & Johnson's nursing site. It is one of the best. Three good links are below. I hope this helps.

call your local Community College, or the high-school guidance office. Either of them will be able to assist you.  \n\nGood luck.....I got my GED 20 years ago, went on to Community College, and then went on to get my Bachelor's in Health Science........reach for the stars!!!!!!
