Total Loan Amount

Specialties CRNA

Published

Would anyone care to divulge the amount of loans they took out to attend school? I am quite overwhelmed at the amount of money I am going to need to get through school. Just want to know I am not in this boat alone. I know my priority is the academics, but the money is consuming my every thought. Thanks for your help!!!!

Places you live will effect how much is spent and schools range from $20,000 to over $50,000 travel to clinical, books, if you have a family it all adds up. With me my nurse degree plus bsn,and master it for me added up to close to some of these numbers. I had to find a job to support my repayments and living. The end justified the means, love helping people and love practicing on my own !:wink2:

I was doing a LPN To BSN program and quit due to oweing about 25k when it was all said and done. I went back to a ASN program for the experience and cheaper cost. Now I want to go back and get my BSN, and I checked the same school out and it is going to cost me about 19k for an ASN to BSN. I didn't save very many $, and not very much time either. :eek:

I owe about 10k for the community college and the University combined, and that seems like a mountain of money to pay back to me.

Specializes in Surgical Services.

Nothing...We have a grant that as long as you make a 3.0 the state pays for your AD and/or most of your BS degree. I do have some credit card debt to get paid off but no where near what you guys are talking about.

When it's all said and done I'll probably owe around 10,000$ for tuition/living expenses for an ADN degree. When I get my BSN I'll have no problem living at home when my parents offer to pay for rent and tuition if I'm under their house.

my total loan of $190,000 is mainly because my wife is a stay at home mom and I have zero income. this includes both private and federal loans the cost of my CRNA program is around $30,000 (this does not include the gas and living arrangements I need in the clinical areas) give or take a grand or two. The money is irrelevant with the return I will be getting when I start working this September. Take out as much money as you will think you will need and add another $10,000. I used sallie mae (40,000), Teri for (30,000 x 2 loans) about $50,000 in federal loans and about another 12,500 private loan from somewhere. and another $15,000 private loan from someone else. So probably a little less than $190,000, unless I am forgetting another loan somewhere.

lmdscd... what type of nursing do you do?? You mentioned you are "on your own in all of your pratice".....

I am curious.. thanks! :smokin:

That HAS to be a st. bernard pup...? Had one...once upon a time...:(

Miss her! She was cute, but her and my swiss mountain dog did NOT get along!!! And, i am pretty sure she got some brain damage from the beer she was fed as a pup! (not from me, but from her owner)

But, still, has to be the cutest pup, HANDS DOWN! Snow white accents, big puppy eyes and the drool! Can't beat that drool!
