Just a rant rn-bsn

SAme here I owe my school 1500

Have you shopped around? There are entire programs to be had for under $10K.

I am taking state school classes and 12 hours in one semester (two 7 1/2 sessions/semester) 4k per semester. My total should be about 12K

that's not cheap

Tuition is expensive these days, even for public colleges. Not much you can do about it, if you're lucky your employer offers some tuition reimbursement to take the sting out of it.

I'm looking at an online RN-BSN program at a nearby state college. They charge $480 per credit, plus a $199 "online fee" per semester. If I take 1 class per semester, it will cost me $1639. The state U charges $600 per credit.

Before the earth's crust cooled!!!! What was Nursing like back then?

Wow... I am surprised to hear about similar costs. I may look into another school... I had no idea it was going to cost this much

I just graduated from Boise state's online Rn-bsn program and LOVED it. The cost is $1050/3 credit class. Good luck!

The in-state tuition and public universities is affordable. It's the fees that get you!

There is no way I would pay such ridiculous tuition costs today. When I would take classes, I could pay for one whole class with just one week's paycheck. I went to a private college for my ADN, and I think paid about $1000 per semester. That included all the classes and fees. For the BSN, I paid $300-500 per class. Books were the most expensive thing back then. I never qualified for financial aid, but also never took out a loan. I really feel sorry for anyone who has to try and get an education today. The payscale for nurses in my area does not justify the price of tuition. I don't know what the answer is, but somethings got to change.
