How does one pay for a School Like Linfield or University of Portland?

I am nervous if I get accepted to either of these school how will I pay for it? Are they generous with scholarships?? If anyone who is attending one of these schools can break down how they funded the cost that would be awesome!!

Thank you

The pay scale was the same (or real close) for all RNs but many hospitals aren't hiring new ADNs anymore. Providence H&S is hiring only BSNs now. With the job market so tight (though I hear the situation will be getting better by the time we all graduate), I will feel better with a BSN.

You're right. A friend of mine who recruits in the med industry told me to get the BSN or forget it.

I think that as long as you get decent grades the schools will offer you enough money to make a university affordable. I am not having to barrow huge amounts of money to attend Linfield.

One of my friends graduated with ADN and got job within few month.

I went to Linfield for my undergrad degree. I'm not sure how different it is for nursing, but 98% of students there got some sort of aid from the school. I got $9100 a year for 4 years on a merit based scholarship. The sad but true fact about America is thatyou have to go into some amount of debt to get anywhere (unless you're lucky enough to get full scholarships!).
