I know I am also being late for applying Masters. But I am starting to apply from next week beacuse I need the recommendation letters from my professors as well.
Ok here is my suggestion:
... I found that most universities dosnt give any schollarship for masters. But will give you schollarship for PHD program. since you already have Good gre score N GPA, you can go for PHD program.
... University of Nebrerska at Omah has RA or RT position which gives you free tution and since you have GRE also, you will qualify for that. But i doubt you will get in first semsester.
... Masters in NP is around $$8000 per semester in most universities and I know its expensive for us but be prepare for that. GRE doesnt give you any schollarship, its just give you a position to enter in program
... Here was my other choices: wayne state university- MI, deadline: May 1st
                                                     : medical univerisity of south carolina
                                                     : New york university. feb1st
But these universities may not be your choice since these all expensive and doesnt locate in south.. except I believe of south carolina which has low tution fee. Personally, I think unless you apply for PHD, most universities dont give any schollarship to nursing student. But once you are in program and accepted for RA or TA, you will get tution off. And also if you dont have any experience in nursing, its worthless going in PHD program. 
 yes, its tough out there to get nursing job.  I felt like I am loosing my skills everyday.N I regret not getting job in hospital. But there is no option and we have to start from anywhere we can...
well gud luck to ur future.. tell me if you found any good n cheap university.  I am a regular sajha reader. well also, If you wana do MBA, Amberton university is cheap in texas that is located in garland. 
Any way....
