I'm a soon-to-be nursing student in Chicago and I'm TRYING to decide between Loyola University and University of Illinois at Chicago.
The price differences are extreme, but I don't know if the money may be worth it. Do you get what you pay for or is nursing one of those careers where your education is what you make of it?
Also, how many more years of school does it take to become a nurse practitioner or physician's assistant? Thanks so much!!

They are both excellent programs, but IMO, you can't get more for your money than U of I. Their program is well regarded nation-wide, and at in-state tuition rates, it is a steal!
