Finally got approved for Stafford loans for LPN to RN transition program here in FL. I had to pay prerequites out of my own pocket over the past year and was accepted into the program in May. I have been jumping through a lot of hoops but finally looks like I'm going to start the program august 21st. Anyway, after I finish school end of April 2018 I will be headed to San Diego to work for a year in ICU or ER and then travel nursing after. This has been a long hard road and now I'm in the final stretch. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer and try to stay cool.
