It's the financial aid form online. If u know the school you want to attend that's great. After u fill out that app then they will tell u if you are eligible for any grants and also how much financial aid you will get. My whole BSN will be covered with financial aid - stafford loans. Sure ill owe money but with my msn I'll be making enough money (hopefully) lol to pay them with ease. Good luck !!

Including any local/state schools. The Nursing Departments often have information on possible funding. Here are a couple of other resources to look into: http://www.aacn.nche.edu/students/financial-aid#undergraduate4 http://www.aacn.nche.edu/students/financial-aid http://www.scholarships.com/financial-aid/college-scholarships/scholarships-by-major/nursing-scholarships/ Best wishes on your educational journey Irene.

The change is good, and I wouldn't mind more education, but the one thing the article didn't address is how to get funds. I am also older, but it's the lack of funds that blocks my path. What are some solutions? I did make the change because the employer only preferred the BSN; not required it.
