Hello everyone. I will be posting a lot because January is coming up and I'm trying to find the best school that fits me. I've seen many people ask this question but it still haven't been answered can you ladies and gents please give me the price that you end up paying for each school? Yes I already looked on the site and I already have a couple of pre reqs done.

1. Keiser university

I looked into Chamberlain School of Nursing in Jacksonville, FL. I met with a counselor to discuss the classes and cost it would be to obtain a BSN. The best case scenario was that I could skip the first year because I already had all the pre-reqs done. With that being said, it would still cost me roughly $65,000 for a BSN (this was about 1 1/2 years ago). If I were to start off as a new student with no pre-reqs, it would be about $90,000 for the BSN program. I almost fell off my chair when he quoted me the price. I decided not to pursue Chamberlain and enrolled at University of North Florida. This was best decision I ever made!! Besides being less expensive (around $15K for the accelerated BSN program), it was a great program. I graduated from UNF in October with my BSN and passed the NCLEX. My advice is to look into the University near your area first. Another possibility is go to a community college and obtain a Associates RN degree then apply to a RN-BSN bridge program. I would leave the for-profit schools such as Chamberlain, Keiser, etc. as your last resort. I'm sure Chamberlain is a good school with an awesome sim lab, BUT it is super expensive! Good Luck!!

Would you mind sharing your UNF admission stats?

Sure..My TEAS score = 350 (89%); pre-req GPA = 3.89. UNF is definitely competitive BUT don't let that stop you from applying. What normally happens is you submit your application then the waiting game begins. You will either get an invitation to the interview, or not. Now, if you have a non-competitive GPA, I advise you to take the TEAS as many times as possible until you get at least 85% or higher...the higher the better. I took the TEAS 3 times to up my chances of getting an interview. If you get an interview invitation, be sure you practice. The interview is where it will make or break you. UNF offers a workshop for individuals who have been invited to the interview, definitely try to make it! They will give you great pointers on what to do and expect.

Do you have an existing Bachelors degree? If so, you can apply for the accelerated track...which is 13 months. If not, the regular (traditional) track is for you and it takes 2 years to complete.
