I am applying to nursing school for this fall. I am now in sticker shock. The program is a for a BSN. Probably gonna cost at least 30,000. That is if I get all my prereqs out of the way. Anyway, what are the usual reimbursement policies that the hospitals seem to advertise to attract nurses? I realize they are not all the same but do they mostly pay a certain amount each year or what?
If I can't get into my local community college this seems to be an expensive option. Any thoughts?
I just wanted to tell you when I went through my nursing diploma program I paid $100/quarter which included room and board, books, uniforms, transportation to college for our first year, those cute little caps... (of course, this was in 1971 dollars).
I would look into loans, grants, whatever... (I am sure in this nursing climate that there is a hospital somewhere who would help you out in return for your agreement to work for them for x number of years after graduation).

Good luck!
