    I thought it would be more than that its for lpn school i just paid $575 for cna course there but i want to attend the lpn `16 month course and they said only half of the cost is usually covered by the grant

    its like 500 a semester and it usually is 4 semesters the lpn program. what ltc are you looking at attending?

    I actually found ut this one cost around 13k i dont think i am going to attend this one and look into the community college i am alraedy at i am just double guessing myself because i cant get into rn school until end of 2010 and the lpn course is only 14 months at this same college and dont think my finacial situation can wait until 3 years to make descent money so i am trying to consider weither or not i should ge my lpn first then go back for rn after i am working at a hospital ?

    i think that 13k is pretty stiff...state run schools are not that expensive and some or most of the costs will be covered by loans, grants and scholarships
    is it possible for you to relocate at least temporarily
    the schools in lafayette, alexandria come with very good reccommendations and a high nclex pass rate
    if you cannot get into an rn school for a couple of more years, an lpn license will give you a lot of experience and an income while you are in school
    good luck
