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...

Specializes in Various.

RXCT, Is it only $100 a month to pay back student loans for a 25,000 loan?? I could work part time and pay that back.

I don't know anywhere around here that pays LPN 25 bucks an hour!! That would be GREAT! I would be thrilled to start at 20 an hour actually. lol

WOW! I should move to the states!!! Costs sure are different here in canada. I know that the first year covers A&P, interpersonal, eng. & literature, health assessments, nursing foundations 1 & 2, pathophysiology, pharm & psych. Second year, medi-surgical, family, community & mental health nursing & nursing practices(clinicals).

All sounds like fun though! I hope i survive! :rotfl:

hi there...where in canada are you from? I'm also from canada and want to study PN..I asked one school here and they're charging $22,500 for tuition fee only, you still have to pay for the books and everything...the cheapest one is community college which is $5,000 including books and uniforms but the waiting period for you to enroll is 1 to 1/2 years...Good luck

I'm in California and went to a trade school and it cost $21,000! Thank goodness I didn't have to pay for it. I got trained thru the Trade Readjustment Act cuz the plant I worked at went to Mexico.
