Keiser vs. BCC for Nursing Program in Space Coast??

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi everyone, I know Keiser is very expensive, but I'm afraid I may have to consider it if I don't get in to the BCC, Cocoa (Brevard Community College) program for this year. I have most of my prereqs done, gone to group orientation, had the advisement session, have work experience, etc. But even with all that I barely get to "25" POINTS!! :banghead:

My question is: Is it even worth it for me to apply to the BCC nursing program? Given that you have to have at least 28 points to be considered? Anyone been accepted to BCC with 25 points or less? I have also heard is a "nasty" program... is it true?

Any insight on the Melbourne Keiser RN program? It seems at least their schedule would be easier on my four year old girl... you know 8am to 1pm Monday through Friday instead of driving to Cocoa for a 6:30am start with BCC... Heck, I wouldn't even have to take her out of her preschool if I go to Keiser, but then there is the money issue with their tuition :bluecry1:

I guess I could... But we are talking $40,000+ for Keiser's associate RN degree vs. $6,000 for the other one!!!

nah... nursing program on keiser = 3 semesters (considering you have all your general education classes)

7k tops per semester!

so get the 40k idea of your mind... it is more like 21!

either way that's an expensive asn/adn.

i suppose it depends on how badly you want it, leocadia. i can go to jc for an asn for about $7,000-$10,000 or i can go for accelerated bsn for $30,000. and i think i might not qualify for financial aid, because i might have used it all for my original bs. :(

but i will find the money somehow. i want it that bad.
