Free Nursing Tuition & Books????

I got offered a full scholarship books,tuition,lab coat for a Nursing program at a Community College.

And I got accepted to a University that I want to attend however,

I have to take out Loans to pay for it..

I think taking the scholarship will allow me to earn an associates in nursing and I could use that and apply for a Degree Completion at the University???

If I take the scholarship I will nor have to worry about how I will pay for my tuition…

I have talk to a few Nurses and a Dr to get some advice and I have been told that a Full Scholarship is just about unheard of and to take it..

And I have been told to follow my heart and go to the University.

I do not want to depend on Loans to get me threw school.

I want advice from other students and Current Practitioners

If you are wanting to become an RN, you can do that with just an associates degree. If you have the opportunity to get a full-ride scholarship, with everything paid, absolutely go for it. There is nothing worse than being saddled with student loan debt once you are out of school. Trust me, I have 180,000 dollars in student loan debt and my monthly payment is close to a mortgage each month…for the next 30 years.

At least get the associate’s degree for free, and then when you are done with that, you could always go on to the university and get the bachelor’s, but at a fraction of the cost, since much of your coursework will already be done and paid for!

You have a scholarship!! A free ride for an associates degree into college! Why would you pay for something that can be offered for free? You can complete the rest of your studies at the university and be in less of debt. And for the first 2 years the university and the college that offered you a scholarship will teach the same exact things anyways.
