This is just too much money for a simple certificate compared to a RN degree. I was thinking about going to this school but the price has been heavy on my mind. I was already accepted and theres no waiting list you just have to pass a HESI entrance exam. The exam was hard but i managed to pass my first try. The only reason why i was considering going is because im a single mom of three kids and 4 years or more at a regular college is just too long and life happens during those years. I want to make sure ill have the time to get through everything. Im a cna/medication aide and ive been doing it since 2008. I feel desperate and all the smaller vo-techs around here have waiting lists and other requirements i dont have or have the money for such as certain college courses. My original plan was to enroll at a community college here for my RN but its just the time. Its either or. Time or Cost. I was also considering enrolling at a vo tech for AUA or often called Patient Care Techs so i could do this at a hospital and possibly having the hospital help pay for me to go to college. I know some of them do tuition reimbursement or even send staff to school. Any comments are welcome and encouraged to help me to make the right choice. Thanks
