It's about $40,000 for a 16-month accelerated BSN including books, classes, malpractice insurance, uniforms, etc. I received about 5,000 in scholarships, which is high for the program. Since it's a second bachelor's degree, not much in the way of aid is given.
Same here - about $40K for a 16-month ABSN. I'll be about half that in debt, but am hoping hoping hoping to get hired by the VA; they have a $40K, tax-free loan repayment over five years (and their starting pay is insanely high compared to what everyone else is paying). Plus I have seven years federal time (military and civil service), so retirement would come quick, and I could go teach, or pick another specialty...sky's the limit with this field!

20 bucks per credit hour, ADN program, this semester probably around 250 bucks total.
I am blessed with southern CA junior college prices. Once im done with this, i'll have the money to do the step up program at a University.

$12 a semester for my LVN program and $15 a semester for my LVN to RN bridge. God bless the Board of Governors fee waiver at California community colleges. All I pay for is my health fee. I did pay for all my books, equipment and such.
Normally, tuition is $20 a unit.

I pay around 800-1000 per quarter depending on how many books and other fun fees they decide we have to pay. Its a ADN program so 6-7,000 when its all done. Im paying 5,000 for one year for my BSN at the same time.

2006-2007 MN program was $36,000 for the program plus books etc. I start this spring, and they haven't posted the 2007-2008 price yet, but I doubt that the price will go down!

70$ credit hour (some take minimum classes and grad with AAS, I'm loading up for the AS so I can bridge faster to BSN & MSN thru FGCU's accelerated 3 yr program so this figure varies quite a bit) + books, uniforms were 180 for 4 tops and 2 pants and 1 lab coat, luckily the government agrees with me that I'm broke so I qualify for Pell and have other scholarships as well

$185/hour = $2500 for 1st semester for just tuition. Gonna run me about $11,000 for the whole program plus books, uniforms, gas, etc etc. This is a 2 year ADN program
Holy crap! That's more than it's going to cost me to get my BSN! Mine will be about $2200 per semester x4 + books, uniforms, parking, and gas.
That is just for the actual clinical classes not including the prereq's. I'm taking my prereq's at a community college at about $43 per credit hour.
