$700+ per credit hour, ouch!

[puresass]

my ADN program costs $20/unit (usually about 10 units/semester), but i got a fee waiver this year, so i've only paid for lab fees ($50).

My Adn progran is about 2200 a semester. This is just for the 9 credit nursing class. Other classes are 525 dollars for a 3 credit course. Books and supplies were about a grand up front. Good for the whole 2 years though. Pretty good deal considering private schools in my area are charging 3 times that amount. I live in NH.

1962 diploma school $0 per semester-only did one and changed to business school

1963 BSN school $13 semester hour or $162 a semester of 18-20 hours did
2 1/2 years there

1973 ADN school $ 900 for 2 semesters and 2 summer school sessions.

1965 (in between) BA using some of the BSN school credits I finished for $425.

So I'm a BA AD RN ONC -sounds like a pig farmer doesn't it? Getting & keeping being certified cost more than all my schooling put together.

I've just started looking into this; $20/credit hour for pre-reqs at a CA CC and then $159/unit online from Rio something in AZ.

[cardiacRN2006]

I paid about $900 for the first semester (tuition, books and uniforms)
$550 for each semester after that.

4 semesters, ADN program. Paid completely by tuition reimbursement (no contract!)


I'm holding out for my work to pay for my BSN as well (next year they will). I'm trying to see how many nursing degrees I can get for free!

Diploma school here in the northeast. I went 3 years, my total tuition cost for 8 semesters (2 summer semesters) was approx 19K.

I can beat that. My total cost was $900- back in the dark ages for diploma RN.
I spent three times that two years ago for a one week course to become Wound Care Certified!

I spent:

$12,000 a year x4 for my private school BSN = $48,000

I'm currently spending: (ok, I'm supposedly getting $30k tuition reimbursement)

$1100/credit x 46 credits = $50,600 for my Ivy League MSN/NNP

My undergrad loans are paid off, and I am getting by without any loans so far for grad school between working full-time and getting tuition reimbursement.


Yeah, I'm poor.
