2. How Much is a BSN Worth?

   Jenbabe741 posted a topic in General Students

   I would like to hear your thoughts on schools and costs. I have been done with my nursing pre-reqs for over a year and a half. I have applied at community colleges and have been denied or put on a wait list. For the current wait list I am on, I have ...

   Jenbabe741 replied to kerybery83's topic in LPN-RN

   They are not offering the LVN-BSN. Only the BSN 39 month program. The total cost will be $132000 starting in April. Right now it will be a little less. If you have some of your pre-reqs done already they will reduce the price.

4. Oh! The sacrifices we make just to get through nursing school

   Jenbabe741 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

   I agree about doing this earlier! Though I am only 27, I wish I would have done this when I was 20 instead of waiting. I was so scared and didn't know what I want. Good for you and keep pushing!!

   Yeah, that is a good way to look at it. I passed my HESI on Saturday so now I have to go through the financial aid part. I was supposed to go tonight, but that won't work. I do have support through all of this luckily. Even though it is just me, I on...

    No, it is too far for me. I live in Redlands. There is RCC, Chaffey, College of the Desert and San Jacinto around me. Its the same 2 year wait list with all of them. I have the best chance with Valley because I did all of my pre-reqs through there si...

    Thats interesting about Cal State Fullerton. Not that I am planning to get my Masters, but it is a concern that these classes are only recognized in their schools. If you hear back please let me know. I will try to check also.

    I am planning on working until the nursing classes start, from there we will see. It will be hard as a single mom, but luckily I do have the help of my parents as much as they can. I just look at it that I have to do this to make our lives a lot easi...

    I went yesterday and talked to the Admissions guy. I agree that this is all fast!! Did you hear anything about tuition increase? I am curious if this is just something they are saying to try to get me to sign up soon. I am supposed to go Sat. and tak...
