Is this average?

I attended a private LVN school in Van Nuys, California last year and the tuition was $19,995. $18,000 to $25,000 is the prevailing price range for these private programs.

The lady you had met with probably was being unfriendly because there are many other applicants who will happily attend the school without asking too many questions.

Well, most people who would happily attend a school or anything else for that matter without getting the information they need are pretty stupid. Who would spend $25,000 without even knowing what they are paying for? I don't know if it's just me or what, but all of the posts I have posted you have posted back something either condescending or rude. And not to sound rude myself but I posted about my house forclosing to give insight as to what my credit looks like, not to get advice on selling it. My ex husband and I are both real estate agents, there's more to my situation than I've put on the internet as this is not the subject of converstion.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about you being condescending or rude, I know it's hard to get a feel for people's tone just reading what they have to say but I just had to put what I felt out there.

that seems a bit expensive to me. average LPN program in Pennsylvania is a little over $11,000. Every program might have their reasons for why its so expensive. I wish you well on getting in...:)

It is Expensive. in Az cost $ 8,000. and i thought they're are crazy.

Thanks for your replies ladies :) I thought it sounded a bit expensive, I guess everything in Cali is a bit more expensive though. I'll update as to whether I get in or not!

Yes I think it is pretty expensive. The LPN program that I plan to go cost about 4,500.

Thats awful!!!!!!! Here in England nurses don't pay fee's and we get a bursary of about £5000 each year that we don't have to pay back.

I am paying about 23k for my program. Yes, it is expensive but I am going into a private progam with no wait list. For me at 24 I wasnt able to wait 3 years on a waiting list. Private programs tend to be ALOT more then community colleges BUT you will be in & out in about a year. You have to look at your situation & see what you want to do

I live in Denver Colorado

I will not get into a lot of back and forth messiness, but I must say, EthnicBeaty that I am SOO Happy to see that I am not the only poster that feels comments/posts made by The Commuter are often not only condescending and rude, but also very intrusive and tactless. I thought I was just overly sensitive, but now I know it's not just me. Thank you....back to the subject at hand, I am attending LPN school in Ohio for about $9,000 and I think that is expensive, but it all depends on what you want, and what you are willing to do to get it.

No one can tell you what is best for you, pray about it, and go from there....good luck!
