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.
The tuition for my 16-month Accelerated BSN will be about $40,000, plus I'll probably need another $20,000 to cover living expenses. Not much choice in the matter, unless I want to wait 3 years for the ADN program at my local CC.
Mine will cost about $15,000 in tuition only for my BSN. I am taking most of my prerequisite classes at a community college and then one prereq and all the nursing courses at the University where I live. I think that's pretty darn reasonable for a BSN! I went this way because I pay for my school out of pocket (no loans or scholarships as of yet and I've been in school for a few years now).
Most of my pre-reqs have been covered by grants, and hopefully most of nursing school will be too. Nursing school will probably end up costing me somewhere around 5k with books. I do however plan on taking out 12-15k in loans over the two years to pay living expenses. Can't stay living with the parents too much longer or I'll end up going even more crazy than I am.
I am going back for a second bachelors degree then continuing on for my Masters in Anesthesia....The bachelors portion is 12 months and the total cost of attendance for everything including living books etc...since I can not work will be $87,000. They give a 20K scholarship but the rest I am paying for with loans. The Masters portion will probably total about the same so in the end I will be well over $160,000 in debt not including the debt from my first undergraduate degree! Don't you just love the cost of college these days!

Unbelievable!! I hope you can find some reimbursment and congrats on the scholarship!

I'm done with all of my pre-reqs (all of which I've paid with cash as I've gone) so all I have left is nursing school. Ours (ADN program) lists a total of $5000.00 which includes graduation fees. Not too shabby!
