Just make sure it is accredited so that if you decide to further your career your credits transfer or you will be like me and paying on student loans for something that I had to retake when I decided to go to a "college" college.

Tamara Said:

do you get more federal funding for going to a community college than you would a career training school?

We Answered:

First, great to hear you are looking into going back to school. Second, it is called Pell Grant.
Now, would be nurses have a lot of financial options at their disposal. You can qualify for loan forgiveness, The Good Neighbor Next Door program etc.
Here are a few links to get you started but I would advise you to begin by completing the FAFSA and talking to the financial aid of a community college which is better than a career training school when it comes to Nursing.
