It is not worth the money. Here is a breakdown based off of the estimated tuition cost from WCU (https://westcoastuniversity.edu/programs/bachelor-science-nursing-bsn/tuition.html)

Estimated Cost: $138,897

Here is what you might pay after you graduate:

138,897 with an interest rate of 6.8% over 10 years, your monthly payment would be 1598.43

Over ten years you will pay 52914.82 in interest, totaling $191,811.82

Is a nursing degree worth $200,000?

That is 4 years of school, and then when you get your job 4+ years of your salary.

At a community college you're going to be out maybe 5-10 grand.

You can not listen to others you need to look into this school and program and ask yourself is it worth is and will you be able to handle what all comes with it....Have you signed up I know you post this early this month.......wish you the best.

I agree the two previous posters, actually. They both bring valid points. But as a student about to embark on my BSN journey, my total degree will cost me 15K roughly. I for one, could not imagine paying over100K for a nursing degree. Law school? Sure. Med school? Sure. But that's because there aren't many cheaper alternatives for those types of degree programs. For nursing, there are. I would think long term, and how you imagine your life once you graduate. If you don't want to worry about debt and have it hinder your life in certain aspects, I say don't do it. But, if you don't mind and this program feels right for YOU, then go for it!

Good luck to you!! :)

I would look around and ask the hiring manager at hospital in your area if they employ anyone from West Coast... I know 4 people who went there and the had huge problems finding jobs locally.

The market is saturated with new grad BSN's. Just do your homework. Don't listen to anything the school says about employment. Check with employers. I know several hospital that won't even look at a west coast new grad unless they worked there before they went to school.
