Tuition and fees (basically everything paid to the school): ~$28000 total
Books: $752 so far, probably another $250 before I graduate
Uniforms: $190
PDA (required): $550
So overall $29,750 total. This is for a 3-year private school. I took 4 gen-ed classes and 4 nursing classes. It would've been more if I didn't transfer in 6 classes from my previous degree.
I go to a "for profit" career college. $34,000 for everything. Includes uniforms, all books (and you can keep them), NCLEX fees, even prereqs. It's much higher than most schools, but after two months of prereqs, the "nursing" program is only 15 months. Worth the cost to me to be working a full year or more earlier had I gone to a traditional school. Good luck!
The cost of 2 year degree at a community college is so reasonable. So far, to complete the program with tuition, books and lab fees, it will be around 3,500.00. I consider that very cheap to get a great education and come out with a degree that is marketable.
That is awesome! I looked at the local CC we have that overs the ADN and it would be around $7500. I would definately go that route if the waiting list wasn't 2 years long.

The local community college has about a year of pre recs and then there is about a 2 year wait list to get into the nursing program. I do not really want to wait 3 years to start the program. I have checked out a couple of private schools and they are running about 35K for everything. I am coming to the conclusion that time is more expensive than dollars.
Community college here. I am guessing about the same $7500 for school, books, uniforms, ect.... The child care actually costs significantly more! Ug!
I am really glad my school only had a one semester wait! I am lucky that the first time I applied was for last spring, knowing I would have to say no if I got in for that semester. I was pregnant with twins due in April. They were born in March. There is no way I could have started then. So the first semester I could start, I got in for!

I am trying to narrow down my list of prospective schools for an ADN degree and there seems to be a huge variance in cost from one to the next. I am just wondering how much you paid for your ADN degree, total (tuition, books, labs, everything). Thank you for your help! - Sarah
