where can I get a student loan for nursing school?

my school costs 30K for the R.N. program. It's alot so im terrified of what i'll get into...my school is 18 months straight. Is that normal for nursing students? Where can I get loans like that besides from FAFSA and such? any tips to minimize loaning in bulk? Or is it better to loan in bulk?

Thank you!
