I'm currently completing pre-reqs and I'm looking into several places. Although I would love to go to a University I feel like it would cost a lot more money.
Lakeview College of nursing (2 campuses in Illinois) will be a little less than $30,00. This is with me completing all of my pre-reqs (60 credit hours). I noticed that Lakeview has more classes required for admission than some others.
I'm not opposed to going out of State. Illinois or Indiana would be ideal, but will look at others. I'm looking at the 16month programs. I'm just having trouble finding places for your bsn that aren't universitys. Thank you!

Hello,
Has anyone done the University of Texas El paso RN-BSN program - I would appreciate hearing the positives and negatives on this program from anyone who has attended. Thank you.

Hi Spudbunny,
I graduated from UTEP in December 1983.....I know.....ancient. It was (and remains) a very good program. The school of nursing should be about ready to move into a brand new (multi-million dollar) facility....they may already have made the move. This program is not surprisingly very involved in Hispanic health. One negative may be language barrier with some patients if you do not speak Spanish. However, I don't speak much Spanish (even though I'm an El Paso native) and managed to make it through.
