I know I have to get a BSN soon, but where is the cheapest option? I won't get a raise with a BSN and I don't want to go into debt getting one.

Ohio university seems like the place everyone I know goes, but has anyone done the research on the cheapest school?

WGU is probably going to be the cheapest.

Agree, WGU can't be beat for the cost. My BSN cost me $3400, plus you may qualify for a tax credit to offset some of that so that makes it even better.. It depends on how many terms you need - it's $3250/term, no matter how many classes you can take in that time. Most people probably take two terms.

I have a relative who is a CPA - he told me that the education cost is deductible if your job description reflects the need for a BSN. That means it is essential continuing education to keep your current job. If it is not essential for your job, it could be construed as elective - and deduction would be 'iffy'. Just sayin'

WGU. Plus you can get credit for knowledge. I wish I had known about it when I got my BSN.
