My books cost about the same as my tuition, if I remeber right.

Total cost RN diploma $500/semester x3/yr = 6 semesters =$3000 total tuition circa 1988.

I got my BSN. In the late 80's-early 90's in a private college it was $186/credit hour, I took pud classes at the community college and they ran about $70/credit hour. Must say with student loans to pay it was still a good investment . Nursing has been good to me.

Thanks, husker. It's always nice to hear someone with something good to say about the profession that I'm about to invest 18 months and tens of thousands of dollars to enter.

Let's see, I have one year left of my ADN program and I've averaged around $1300-1400 in tuition per semester depending on how many credits the class is for (some of our nursing theory classes are 2 credits and Microbiology or any Anatomy/Physiology classes are 4 credits). But then I spend usually between $250-400 in books per semester as well. So total comes to somewhere between $1500 and $1800. I go to a technical college in southwest Wisconsin.

My program awards an AAS, takes 2 years, and costs $1850.00 a semester plus books, ATI testing and other misc.

Books for this semester alone cost almost $500!!!.

Can anyone explain why I have to spend 80 dollars on a PAPERBACK book???? Just seems a tad excessive....

i put myself through school, (no help from mom or financial aidf) grad in 2006 at age 20, i went to a smaller branch of a large university and only got my adn, (cheaper- cheapest in my area) it was $2700 per semester just for classes, plus books, uniform, supplies, etc. no dorms there- had to pay for my own place too. needless to say i have a lot of student loans.
