What Is The Total Cost Of Your LVN/LPN Program? - Page 4

I'm paying about $12,500 for a 10 month program (M-F 8-330). This includes EVERYTHING...tuition, uniforms, books, lab kits, graduation cap/gown...literally everything. It's nice knowing that you won't have to spend any additional money other than that!
I did not qualify for any grants or anything...but took out $9000 in loans.
I go to Butler Tech, located north of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Although the cost of the program is definitely something you need to consider, make sure you are researching much much more than that! I lucked out because my school offered my program in the length of time that I wanted, is less than 10 minutes from home, has a GREAT reputation with the surrounding hospitals and schools, and has great pass rates on the NCLEX. Definitely check out the past pass rates for any school that you are looking into...you want a school that will give you the highest quality of education and really prepare you to succeed!!

wow, you made $70,000 your first year as an lpn? may i ask what area of nursing you work in that pays that kind of money? i was thinking of becoming a wound care nurse or infection control nurse, but $70,000 seems even higher than what i believe those two pay. thanks!

nursing home and homecare....trust me i put in hours for that money. by july i was at $50,000 and decided to slow down towards the second half of the year. i was tired all the time but i promised myself i would do it bc i didn't work while i was in pn school.

1* what's the overall cost of your program?
the minimum requirement is 46 credit hours, and tuition is currently $97 per credit hour, so the tuition is $4462. it spans over three semesters, once you are actually in the program. it may take you longer if you have prerequisites to complete or if you want to go part time. we also have to pay for books, scrubs, and clinicals supplies (stethoscope, bandage scissors, pen light, a few other small things). those don't have to be purchased in a specific place; therefore depending on how resourceful a person is, they can be found at reasonable prices. ebay and amazon.com were helpful!

2* if u qualify for financial aid than what's the remaining
amount that u have to pay overall?
i don't know. i didn't apply for financial aid but some of my classmates are getting aid from various programs.
