Finacial Aid

I am trying to finish my pre-reqs before entering the RN program. I have been seperated for two years and have relocated to Sherwood, Oregon to stay with a friend until I can finish College. I am currently looking for a job. I have been in the medical feild seven years before I wanted to continue my education. I am having trouble finding a job. I have four pre-reqs to finish and then go enter a RN program.

How can I afford to go to College and then enter a College to recieve my RN Degree, would like to pursue my Bachelors Degree also. If you could give me any information, I would appreciate it. I need to finish and can not wait to do so. I have children and am 38 years old. Really want and need this degree so I may take care of my family and have a career that will be around forever. I just want to provide for my family. I love the medical feild and can not wait to start.

Thank you,

Shannon Heaton

questions

How many needy students can be first in line?

Should education become a department of coca cola?

Did you know that the US were spending more then 500 billion dollars for war in 2006? This is half of the whole world's spending for military in 2006.

How much did we spend for scholarships or healthcare?

College Degrees Ain't What They Used To Be

Back when I grew up, college degrees were not nearly as common as they are now. The the funny thing is, 70% of all jobs don't require a four-year degree. I know several people who have 4-year college degrees and have not been able to find a job, so they have gone back to a technical college to get the kind of education where jobs are plentiful. Those one and two-year programs are awesome!

No, I don't work at a college any more, but I used to recruit for a technical college and truly believe that for MOST, not all students, it's a better choice.

Thanks for the information

It's good to know these things, because some of us have been schooling for so long and look for jobs that require our B.A or diploma of some kind and just to find out that they are on the bench waiting for an opening. However education is always a good thing to have.

MSC in computer science

Thanks for ur information. But how is international students gets scholarship in US universities i can see that there is less chance to get scholarship than the US citizens. i am female and citizen of Ethiopian and want to study my second degree in computer science.
