Thats alot of money even for a private school. I attend a public university that costs around $3,500 dollars a semester including books. At $126,000 for the 4 year program you would be close to paying $16,0000 per semester. Thats crazy!

Wow, is that for tuition only, or tuition/books/living expenses/everything?? There are much cheaper ways to get a nursing degree! I would do more "shopping around" for nursing programs if I were in your shoes.

Can I ask what school that is? I hope you aren't considering going there...(unless you are like super rich or have scholarships/financial aid that's astronomically high)

the only bad thing in community college or state schools is the have a waiting list of a year or two to get it. so while you are waiting you are just getting behind. Just waiting but i figured it was expensive at least for me

It is expensive, however, you have to weigh the pros and cons, and also look at all the possible pathways that can work for you. I paid a lot of money from ADN to BSN going to a private school (onilne) because I knew that if I had done it in a campus that I had to physically attend, I would never get my BSN. While I was getting my BSN, I started with a 6 month old boy, had another baby, and worked full-time. I graduated as summa cum laude and I did it in 12 mos. For me, the money I paid was worth it! I understand not wanting to wait, I'm the type of person that has to get things done..right now!

well its cheaper then my friends tuition bill of over 250k for her four years at a uni but man that is ridiculous. I will get out of school for just under 20k

ok 250K is definitely in the ridiculous arena, was your friend's diploma made out of pure gold?

Ha ha no, it was in switzerland for four years. Sounded like a great time but man, all that money for a Bachelors is kind of coin.
