Thanks to all for your input. I'll just add to clarify: my total debt for JH (including interest) would be 90K (originial tuition costs ~ 62K).

Thanks again to everyone!:redpinkhe

Check out accelerated programs, i.e. Mass. Gen. has B.S. (other discipline) to R.N. in 14 mos. for a lot less $.

Man I feel so weird with my 9 thousand dollar nursing program :stone I guess I got the Geo Metro Education while some of ya'll are rocking the Cadillac Escalade Education :P

I don't have any information on any of those schools but good luck in whatever you decide, with a degree in Neuro Science I am sure you will do just fine in either one
