I am highly interested in becoming a RN nurse but I don't have the luxury to be on waiting lists and I don't want to go to a private school and pay that much money for nursing school. In the mean time I am looking at short programs like Surigcal Tech which is about 9 months. The one program, I am looking at costs $28,000 for the Tech program. Is $28,000 worth becoming a Surigcal Tech.
