Cheap ABSN programs in the US?

[annahri]

I'm currently living in NYC, and I absolutely hate it here. My husband and I want to leave ASAP. I'm currently doing my pre-reqs at the community college because I was thinking of transferring to a school here, but I really don't want to anymore.

I read a bit about Louisiana College, which looks like a good school and it looks like a good price. The only thing is is that it has more pre-reqs than I really wanted to do....

Also, if you're wondering why I don't just stay here and go to a public school since it would be cheaper: the public schools here in NYC are SUPER competitive (because they're cheap and there's free tuition here now), and they require a ton of pre-reqs so I wasn't even going to apply. So I will most likely go the private route.

My undergrad GPA is a 3.65, and my current GPA for pre-reqs is a 4.0.

Please help! My neighbor punched me in the chest today; I HAVE to get out of this terrible city!!!

Help with what? If you like tropical weather and rural, Southern customs, go for it. Have you check out the pass rate on the boards? Your real nursing knowledge doesn't begin until you are working. I went to a school with a non-stellar reputation but did well on boards and grad school.
