How much will your education cost you?

Published

The school I was 'wait listed' for is $30k for my ASN.

The school that accepted me is @ $18k for my ASN.

My first choice (who I have no heard from yet) is at the local community college that I've attended for the last 2 years and it will run me somewhere around $10k max! I'm SO hoping to get in here.

The other 2 schools I could care less about. i think one is around $11k for an ASN and the other is in the mid 20's.

Specializes in nicu.

Between 2 school ( had to move halfway through due to hubby military commitment) cost about 40,000. Started in a private university and moved to public.

The 12 mo. Accelerated BSN program I am doing (already have a bachelor's) is $17,000 plus about $2000 for the couple classes I need before then at a community college.

The loss of income, cost of daycare, and gas (1-2 hours away) scares me even more, though... :o Oh, well, it's only 1 year!

It's pretty much self-inflicted for us, but I'm very pleased with the program and am usually surprised when I hear about how different it is at other nearby ABSNs.

Since I'm doing it to myself, I don't think I can complain about $30K in loans. DH is helping a lot, and I know I'm lucky to be able to get that kind of assistance.

Second direct entry--30k for first year and then 502 per credit after that.

Specializes in Cardiac.

Goodness, my ADN program was about $600 a semester! Books for the entire program were probably $600-800. I got a deal!

Plus, it was all paid for through tuition reimbursement, so no debt! The ADN-BSN will be paid for with tuition reimbursement as well.

Specializes in Neuro.

My school is about $10000.00 for the nursing school, including books, tuition and all, and I have spent about $5000.00 for the 1 1/2 years of pre reqs. Once I am done with the ADN, I plan on going to out university for my MSN which will cost another $18000.00+. Needless to say, it is too d#*m much for this broke girl!!! I just hope it is worth it!

WOW!! Looking at the other posts, I am now very glad I live in rural Mississippi. I am able to get a grant that pays roughly 90%-100% of tuition depending on allocated amount, and at the CC I attend it is $65/hr. So, I have not been out-of-pocket much. I am going to have to take a loan for books, child care, and gas...That's what scares me!!!
