So for me, I go to school 2 days of the week. One of those days is for the upper division GE course that transfers have to take and the other day I have all of my nursing lectures. Some students were able to get their GE course on the same day or have it online so they only have to go up to the school one day a week. Then I go to the hospital 2 days a week (1 for preplanning and the following day is for clinical). So my schedule is like 

S- Preplanning

M- Clinical

Tu- School (only for a couple hours)

W- Off

Th- School (all day)

F- Off

Sa- Off

Yes, that was including tuition. I paid around $3,400 for tuition (try and pay it in person because if you do it online the service fee is like $80-90). Then all the other fees add up like accepting your offer of admission ($120..?), SOAR (I think was $62), ATI books (1st payment is like $600), Elsevier book package ($300-400), GWAR placement exam ($25), uniforms (~$200..?), Castlebranch document tracker ($100), drug test through Castlebranch ($74), BLS recert class ($65), ($ for TB tests, physical, flu shot with your PCP), NSO insurance for clinical ($27), parking pass for the semester ($250). Those are all I can remember off the top of my head. 

Oh nice! That's not too bad at all, the schedule, not the money. Thank you for the breakdown. If I get in I'm hoping I can get some aid to help me out with all that.

You can also split a parking pass with someone but only one of y'all can be on campus at a time so for example I had to switch with someone who had Tuesday nursing lectures that would be off campus in time for me to park for my night class. 

EVERYONE CHECK YOUR APPLICANT SELF-SERVICE! I JUST FOUND OUT I GOT IN!
