new to Bradenton area- looking for school

Published

ok, so I am right near a Keiser College, and $44k for an RN program seems REALLY step to me.

I am from MI, and was attending HFCC at $116'ish per credit hour while taking the pre- req's and classes not in the 'nursing core' while waiting to be placed into the actual core.

I looked at MCC and was pleasantly surprised at it $66.11 per credit hour until I noticed that I need to be in Florida for 12 months to qualify....

I am now thinking of finding an LPN/PN program to enroll in so that I can at least begin working sometime soon.

Does anyone have any advice, or knowledge, that I am overlooking?

My goal is to eventually become an RN, but I would also like to be earning money as soon as possible. (currently a stay at home mom.)

TIA for any advice/tips/unknown programs, etc.

I think that any of the public schools will require 12 months residency in order to pay in-state tuition; otherwise you will have to pay out-of-state tuition. Residency doesn't matter with a private school as they charge the same tuition to everyone.

Btw, I love Bradenton and can't wait to move back someday.

Specializes in ER/ICU/STICU.

The county college should also have tuition rates for "out of state" residents. You should look into that.

btw my parents live in Bradenton. I'm going down in May.
