LPN Tuition-how much did you pay?

angela_jane · Oct 20, 2004

Wow - $13,000 - that is high. I attend a program through a community college in Sherman, Texas - about 50 miles north of Dallas, books and tuition is roughly $2,300 and the program is 10.5 months long - fall, spring and a 6 week summer semester. We will also be taught IV's in the spring semester.

Are you talking about Grayson County College??? I'm from Denison Texas!!! that's crazy!!!

anyway, I am about to pay $19,000.00 (canadian) for a one year LPN program (in vancouver). This includes everything, and it's through a private college.

At home, in texas, it is only as Jamie said, $2,300. So I feel the same way about expense. But you gotta do what you gotta do, right???

Are you doing your program thru Sprott-Shaw? If so, it's a great school. I did my medical assistant program thru them a few years ago when i was living in Victoria. If i weren't in northern alberta i'd apply. :chuckle I'm doing my program thru Northern Lakes College, so i guess $13000 isn't too bad.

Best of luck to you!

I paid roughly $16,000 for my LPN program. Its 13 months, it is a private college and its a fast track program. They also have a bridge program for LPN-RN. The $17,000 included books, uniforms, skills bag(Littman Stethoscope, IV start kits, etc for lab class) student nurse malpractice insurance, NCLEX review classes and the NCLEX fee as well as background checks and of course the tuition.I couldn't be happier with my school though, I have awesome instructors who truly have a love for nursing, and each of them has their own little "baby" of nursing, so I feel that we get the maximum benefit, such as one teacher loving peds and one gero and another rehab, etc. I love school..its been a long time since I could honestly say that!

Yes, that seems very high, and 2 1/2 years seems like a VERY long time...theyre usually 12 months.

I paid $18,500 for a private college which was a 13 month LVN program in California. Our community college has a 3 year wait.

I went in West Virginia to a technical school it was about 4000.00 for 11 months of mon-fri 7:45-3:15 with only a week break for thanksgiving, christmas, and spring break and a few extra days every now and then. But they were the most cram packed 11 months in my life.

Holy crap!! I am supposed to start a program in Oct and the cost for it is $25,000!!! Now I am second guessing myself. 25 grand is a ton of money. Is it too much for an LPN program to be worthwhile in the long run??

Hi there,
I've just started my LPN program in a moderately populated town. The total cost for me was $13,500. (books, labs, uniforms....) (I didn't get any loans, saved over the years.....) Were your fees comparible? I feel like it was quite expensive for a 2 1/2 year program.
Side note, apparently we'll be taught to run IV lines.....something new added to the course i believe...

hi there,

here in CT, private lpn school & almost $30,000 now ($25,000 when I was there)! 22 months for the schooling.

I'm not sure of your pay scale but, If you borrow that $25g it will cost about $100 a month on a gvt. loan.... Here in CT you make about $25-$30/hour as an LPN. hOpe this helps!
