I agree with this reason also. I believe LC did just graduate from LPN school and should be eligible to sit for the State Board exam soon, if she hasn't already. The MEDIAN income for an LPN is ~45K/yr...this is not a fortune obviously, but IMO it would make it difficult for her to qualify for much in the way of state aid.
I was an LPN in my home state for a number of years (not Fla, BTW) and during some of that time I was a single mother of three receiving no child support from my ex. I applied for assistance because my son was put on an expensive medication that was not covered by insurance. When I sent in my financial info, I was basically told that I would just have to get a second job (which is what I did for a few years) because my income was too high to qualify for any assistance.This goes back a few years, and as I said, the guidelines are different from state to state so I could be wrong, but I find it hard to believe that she would be eligible for much, if any, assistance.
I am more inclined to believe that she is hoping to avoid being financially responsible if ToC gets hit with fines similar to Hope's.
I also have to wonder if there is an issue with her passing a background check for the State Nursing Board since she is so closely associated with known drug users and criminals...IDK how far in depth the background check goes, even though LC herself may not have a criminal record. Just thinking out loud on this point, because IDK...:twocents: MOO, and all that...
She has already sit and passed her state boards. The issue would be in passing the background checks that jobs do because she would be handling medications in most jobs that she would get. With her husband and his family being all over the news, especially the involvement that they have with prescription drugs, it would be hard for any business to get malpractice insurance on her as well.
