I noticed on the "how did you pay for your nursing school" forum that some people needed drastically different amounts of money to get through school.
So I am curious,
what type of degree did you get, BSN, LPN etc..
once in you major how long does it take to graduate going full time
and how much does it cost per semester?
I am getting a BSN, My school raised tuition last fall, it is now a little over 9,000 dollars a semester and it takes 5 semesters to graduate, once you get into the program...
What is like at differnt universitys/ schools/programs?:welcome:
My Adn progran is about 2200 a semester. This is just for the 9 credit nursing class. Other classes are 525 dollars for a 3 credit course. Books and supplies were about a grand up front. Good for the whole 2 years though. Pretty good deal considering private schools in my area are charging 3 times that amount. I live in NH.
Specializes in ICU, CCU,Wound Care,LTC, Hospice, MDS.
This goes to show how long ago I went to NS... the cost for an entire year, tuition, room and board and fees, was $5500 my first year. I think it might have been up to around $7000 4 years later, but pennies compared to what it is now.
I can beat that. My total cost was $900- back in the dark ages for diploma RN.
I spent three times that two years ago for a one week course to become Wound Care Certified!
$12,000 a year x4 for my private school BSN = $48,000
I'm currently spending: (ok, I'm supposedly getting $30k tuition reimbursement)
$1100/credit x 46 credits = $50,600 for my Ivy League MSN/NNP
My undergrad loans are paid off, and I am getting by without any loans so far for grad school between working full-time and getting tuition reimbursement.
Specializes in med-surg 5 years geriatrics 12 years.
I got my BSN. In the late 80's-early 90's in a private college it was $186/credit hour, I took pud classes at the community college and they ran about $70/credit hour. Must say with student loans to pay it was still a good investment . Nursing has been good to me.

Thanks, husker. It's always nice to hear someone with something good to say about the profession that I'm about to invest 18 months and tens of thousands of dollars to enter.
