Cost of LPN program?

I am in Columbus, OH and want to attend Columbus State Community College LPN program.

The cost of their LPN program including books, scrubs, classes, fees, clinicals, medical equipment, NCLEX, parking, etc is $8,000 out-the-door.

Is that a fair price for a LPN license? BTW, there is no waiting list.

Thanks.

    That sounds really reasonable.

    PS: My LPN program (all-inclusive like yours) was $650.......in 1976!

    In 2015, I would say $8,000 in tuition and fees for an LPN program is extremely reasonable. Just for a point of comparison, the private nonprofit Los Angeles area LVN program that I attended cost $19,995 in tuition and fees when I enrolled in 2004.

    That's a steal in Findlay Ohio the tuition is 23,000 for LPN and scrubs aren't included

    Low cost, no wait list sounds too good to be true, how are the nclex pass rates? My lpn program was $18,500, paying that out of pocket while in school was rough, bu if it were $10,500 cheaper i would jump on it without a heartbeat

    I just graduated from a county vo tech lpn program the cost was 5050 but it didn't include books, uniforms & nclex & state fees. So approx. $6000.

    I'm currently in a program that is roughly 30k, all inclusive. In northern California, will end up LVN II. 8k with no wait is awesome!

    Honestly, that's a steal! I paid $14k and nothing was included. I had to buy my own books, uniforms, stethoscope, bp cuff, everything!! This class too was a straight one year no waiting list.
