My best friend just got accepted to Medical School!!! She's going to be a doctor!
I am so happy for her!
My only concern is the $18,000+ price tag per year!!! Yep...per year!!
OUCH!!!
I had no idea that it was so costly to become a doctor! lol I am definitely grateful for my $4200 per year Nursing program!!
:eek:
Is it really worth it for doctors??? I know that most doctors earn a nice living, but is that not extreme for tuition? Are other programs this costly?
Wowza...:)
Hi All,
That is amazing the prices you have to pay for an education!!!
I am a student nurse in Australia doing my bachelor of nursing it is a 3 year course(In aus we call them RN div 1 i think it is the same as your RN's). And all i have to pay at the end is around $12,000 and it will come out of my wages when i get a job. other then that it is just the books that work out to be around $500 a year and an admin fee to the university which is about $150 each semester. the government heavly subsidises all university courses in australia.
I am glad i am from down under.
Wow, Congratulations to your friend. $18,000.00 is definitely cheap for medical school that was the price I paid for a year year of nursing school and that was for 2 years. The first 2 years I went to a community college and took the basics but yeah $18,000.00 is good. I have a friend in Medical school and she pays about $25,000.00 a year that is not including the fees, books, and other things they have to get.

I used to wonder if i would prefer being a Doc when i was in school, but after seeing how they have to live, no way. The hassal, the malpractice ins, and the getting woke up at 3, 3:15, 3:45, and so on with calls from different floors and hospitals when on call? Kudos to those who are docs, now way id do it if you GAVE me the tuition $$
