Is It Worth It?

I received an email today from an advisor in my school's nursing program regarding the status of my app. According to her, I have been provisionally accepted pending my two letters of reference. Great, but the cost of my school is ridiculous...around 23K a year. I do receive fin aid and have a partial scholarship, but what if my fin aid runs out before I complete the program? I CANNOT afford that. This does not include extra expenses like clinical and lab fees... I also was originally suppose to graduate with a BS this semester...but due to major changes, transfers, time off and part time school, I still have about two years to go. I just don't know if my fin aid will carry me that far. I honestly don't know what to do. Also, our RN program is an ADN program that bridges to a BSN. I'm not sure if that matters in regard to financial aid, since technically I would be in pursuit of an Associates first, then a Bachelors...having already been in school for about 2 years.:uhoh3:

Is all this trouble and money really worth it????:crying2:

    speak to the financial aid office before you make a decision. You may have a problem or they may be able to sort it out for you. Good luck

    I would say no. I know there are going to be people who disagree with me, but nurses don't make that much to warrant that kind of debt. You could easily end up in the same nursing position without owing almost $50k! I would look for a cheaper school. The bsn program near me is about $13k for two years. You have to get your prereqs from a community college first before you are accepted in the program.
