I have been accepted into the program! Does anybody know the cost of the Nursing Essentials class? I would like to find out before April 28th since I am paying for this out of my own pocket. Thanks!

The cost of the 3 hour summer class is around $750.00 but you will also need to calculate the cost of your book, skills kit, course guide, stethoscope and blood pressure kit.

Yikes! Can we pay with a payment plan?

Hey, this is a question for past ualr students. Are you able to work part time for a hospital during school?

ag.wade · Apr 4, 2012

It is possible to work part-time if you know how to manage your time. I know people who have worked throughout the entire program (including myself). Do I work 40 hr/wk? No. But, I do work ~ 25 hr/wk. Make sure your employer is very flexible, because you will need that.

Thank you!! I will have to quit my current job bc hey need full time during the day. If anyone knows of any jobs that are flexible while in nursing school, please let me know!Thanks!!
