Hey Everyone! I have been reading through the threads and found that everyone here was very helpful! I ,myself have some questions maybe someone can help....

First off I am now wanting to attend nursing school at the age of 31, married with 4 kids. I was thinking about attending WCU in Ontario. But with alot of people in the threads saying its not worth the 100k+, I am a little hesitant. I do not want to attend a community college, so I was thinking WCU was the best bet for me. I mean BSN in a little of 3 years, sounds good right?
So for my questions... 1) HOw many times a week do you attend class, and times
2) I know I probably won't get financial aid so how much would it be monthly (estimated guess) and do you start paying as soon as you attend?
3) The HESI test is there a study guide online for this and is it like the PSB, or the NET, TEAS exams?

THX in anvance for any help that anyone can give me, I do have a appointment with them next week but I want to get a head start!!!!

If you do decide to go to a junior college or university, I would go with Cal State Long Beach. They accept 90 students which alot compared to some nursing programs. Long Beach Memorial is also giving CSULB students a $2,000/semester stipend for those that sign a 2 year contract saying that they'll work for them for 2 years after graduation which sounds like a win win to me. Your tuition is pretty much paid for and you have a job already lined up when you get out. Something to consider.
