how hard is nursing school?

Published

Hi everyone,

I was wondering, how hard is the nursing program. Especially, if you're already take all the prerequisites and going to take only the nursing classes. Please I need your input on this.

Thanks

Hi agidae!

I agree with peaceful that it is much less expensive to complete your prerequisites at a community college, which is the route I chose as well. I was told that the students who completed their prereq's at the university I attend stood a better chance of being accepted into the BSN program - but I don't quite believe that, as I was accepted in the first run.

I have never had to pay the OUTRAGEOUS sum of money to attend any school as it seems you are (Chico State, where I attend, is a public university, so tuition is only about $1,100/semester), so I can't say that a job on campus would pay for your tuition, books, rent, food, etc. It seems like it would be difficult to earn that kind of money with an oncampus job, but I don't know what they pay you in Florida (which, as an offshoot, I am coming to on the 28th for a vacation :D ). I certainly hope they will.

Have you checked with financial aid to see if there are any programs (not necessarily scholarships) that you may qualify for? It certainly couldn't hurt to check it out, as any bit will help.

If you would like, you can email me anytime with questions, or just to chat.

All be good, and don't study too hard. Take time to have some fun!!
