I'm looking at a career change, and a friend who is a Nurse Practitioner suggested nursing - after listening to her advice and stories, and reading this thread, it sounds like a good match for my skills and personality. Questions are these; 1) I have a BS in Biology and am interested in a BS -> BSN program. Know of any of these in the Philly/PA/MD regions? I'm not unable to search, but it's like a damned egg hunt and I don't have the vocabulary to search for the right program. 2) How the hell can I afford it? I'm 38, have my own house, and have a dog I love dearly that I won't give up for apartment living. Can I get a student loan that covers housing and the basics (as well as my education) since I won't be able to work in an accelerated program? 3) I hear that a lot of places will pay off your student loans, but don't know where they are or how the conditions might be. There were some examples up above... are they typical? I am 3 classes into a MLS, but Librarianship is a vast wasteland of no-pay jobs in the public sector, and a metric fuckton of people graduating without chance of jobs because many of the old bats have ossified into their jobs are are not going anywhere.

Hey All - I have an interesting situation - I'm ready to start a BSN->RN program, but had to declare bankruptcy a year ago to hang onto my house. Now that I have my life together, how do I get student loans to pay for schooling? If I had a spare $35K laying around, I wouldn't have had to screw up my credit. Any suggestions? This whole financial aid thing is giving me fits.

This is a little off-topic, so let me start with an apology; I'm sorry. Having said that, I think you'll forgive me. I have been laughing my rear end off. Nurse Anesthetists started a musical group - they call themselves "The Laryngospasms" and their version of an old classic is one of my favorites. "Waking Up Is Hard To Do" Well done and terribly funny. I'd give up my third favorite body part to see them in concert. Video is "meh" but the music and creativity is awesome. They have two albums.
