Hi Ashley. Thank you for this video! I will be looking into loans as my primary way to pay. This video helped me A LOT. I was accepted to the ABSN at NYU in April. I am already a NYer so I plan to commute by subway. I am curious about how you were commuting before moving to online instruction. Did you move to NY? Were you commuting?

@ash_grace

Hi Shantae, I’m super glad to hear that, congrats ! And yes ! I was commuting and if all is well come fall I’ll continue to do so. To get to classes I took a Bus to get into the city and then a bus to get me closer to the school (M34A). Depending on which hospital I’m placed at I then take the subway. A lot of people in the program are commuting from all different parts of New York and Jersey ! Trust me a lot of ya share the same struggle lol. Wasn’t sure if I should make a video on it but maybe I will down the line 😊💕

I’m facing that now with my community college. I’m paying out of pocket to be a medical assistant. Because my teaching job just isn’t paying for me to become a Nurse my community college has denied me multiple times from getting financial aid. I hate it. It’s really stressful yep. I’m not in nursing school. I’m doing the best I can to get a job in the healthcare field instead yep. 🙏🏾

I really want to go to NYUs program because it seems amazing but I already took out so many loans for undergrad 😰

I legit understand because that was me too ! It’s like I got into my dream school and then reality slapped me in the face 🥴 lol.. but I knew that I was setting myself up for not only a better job but career. I took the leap of faith to do it again because I knew this is really what I wanted to do.. so if you really are looking to better yourself, then you are worth the investment 💕!

I have a question. If I’m applying for nursing as my first degree to nyu, do I apply with other students or is there a special application. Also, do I like complete my freshman year before moving to nursing school?

What if I've never used any FAFSA loan?

girl idk if you would know this, but i heard if you graduate form nyu nursing and work for nyu for a certain amount of time your loans get forgiven. Is that right ?

Thank you for this info! Because of you started looking into that NJ federal loan, it does state $40,000 income is a minimum requirement. I currently do not work and not planning to make this much while in NYU absn program. Is there any way to go around it?

These are great tips ! Feel much better about loans after watching this but questions? When you got Into NYU , was that the only school you applied to or you had to choose ? I’m indecisive if I should go to NYU or another school financially ?

laddiieh smile I’m so glad to hear that 💕!! When applying my options were limited to 2 schools but mainly because those were the schools that would accept my pre reqs without me having to retake them. So I was really taking a risk only applying to 2 but I’m happy it worked out. I will say this, please do whatever is financially best for your situation 🙏🏾 If you are crunching your numbers and you feel like one school is more cost effective then that is smart as well. Since I was in a program before and didn’t like it I really just wanted to go to a very good school this time around but if i for sure weighed my options before deciding 💜 ! Which other school were you looking at?

Just got accepted into an ABSN program, I am currently living at home but still have car note and insurance and other bills to pay. Do the loans cover living expenses? I know you have made a "working in Nursing school video" which Im about to check out. But, seriously concerned about them bills. :/ lol

@ash_grace

Completely understand ! Its something to consider for sure.. However I do know students that take out extra funds to cover their other expenses while in school like rent.. or even food, travel etc. !! Many people do it as long as it works for you in the long run.

What scholarships are available for this program ?

“If financial aid could talk” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hey girl! Im looking at applying to NYU transfer nursing program.. do you happen to know the tuition cost? thanks! :)

@ash_grace

3 жыл бұрын

Hey hun ! So I don't know the exact cost because it actually changes every semester and increases every semester unfortunately. Plus what one student pays may not be the same amount another student pays based off of their financial aid package or scholarship ! But one thing I know for sure is that at the end of the program you can expect to pay anywhere between 80-100k . Of course it can be either less or more but that's roughly the range for this program.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but how do you know how much financial aid you have left? Like is there any way to check?

@ash_grace

4 жыл бұрын

Keidy Garcia not dumb at all lol actually a very good question ! So all schools have access to this website that shows how much each student has used but that’s only after the student has been admitted and accepted and then once they offer your package to you. But their is a way to contact financial aid to determine how much you have used. You can find out by going to: www.studentaid.ed.gov/. This way it can show you all the money you have used ! Hope that helped 😊

i am really having this issue right now and my absn program is about to start and its terrible. there really is no way to go around it. i really want to take out a loan, bc i am doing an absn program i have to take out a private loan as i cannot use grad plus loans. taking out a private loan is looking very SLIM because you always need a cosigner. i will be looking intot he nursing corps bc at this point i am desperate. FAFSA is an actual joke after you get your bachelors. like you said its a sprinkle of money. i do want to invest in my education but as a black female with no cosigner i really have no idea what to do at this point....but looking at the nursing corps is gonna have to do it for me

I completely understand, its one of those topics that I feel like not too many people are real and honest about it. Im sorry you are going through this now :( I know a cosigner is not ideal and like you said FAFSA legit doesn't give much once you've graduated so yes nursing corps and other scholarships would be a good path for you ! Don't let this obstacle deter you from still continue to reach your goal. There is a way and I believe you will find an option that is the right fit for you
