Re: soon to be nurse who needs some advice!
Wow! Congrats on your acceptance.....that is quite an accomplishment for a H.S. student, given what it sounds like the competition is for that school!
As far as the financial part - sometimes (esp. for traditional college students right out of h.s.) you can get pretty generous financial aid packages which bring the cost down quite a bit. What kind of costs are you looking at and is this a state school? Have you applied for financial aid yet?
UNC in Greeley is known for pretty reasonable tuition - they have a BSN program that is competitive but you may have missed the deadline for applying this year.
The community colleges are the cheapest route, but then there is the infamous waitlist issue 2-3 years. It isn't much of a problem to finish up the BSN at a university once you have the RN.
Have you completed the prereqs? That would make a difference as well - if you have and have been accepted to a school then I would go for it! You are young and have alot of time to pay off the loans!
