Private school for BSN

guys it looks like i will be going to a BSN private school. It is just to competitive over here. The school cost about 25,000 a year I know its worth it because its nursing and not sociology, but what do you guys think?

I think that's an insane amount of money for a degree which entails a substantial risk of unemployment or underemployment after graduation.

Much better, I say, to work at whatever you're able and (a) save your money and (b) get into a public school.

If you think school is competitive, just wait 'til you get a load of the job market...

hahaha oh man. yeah public schools are just insanley competitive now adays

PRIVATE FOR-PROFIT SCHOOL? RUN AWAY! 95% of these schools give you a huge debt load and then leave you in a situation where finding a job is harder than it would have been to get into a public school in the first place.

Private non-profit university? Not for an ADN. For a BSN it depends:

Prereqs and gened already done? OK. For two years to a BSN, 50K is an acceptable debt level to take on for a bachelors degree that should pay 50K, but ONLY IF the school is EXCELLENT with a great reputation and all the associated accreditations so that you can get a good job PDQ. However, these schools are usually as competitive as the public schools.

For four years? You'd better have a benefactor and/or a bunch of scholarships and grants or the plan and performance to end up somewhere that pays your loans (military). 100K would be a crushing debt load for a profession that pays ~50K.

Yeah pre. Reqs done. Its 3 years a good school and ill probably take out a loan of 10k and get the rest paid for.thanks guys

I don't really understand the point of the question. If you're able to get the BSN at the expensive, $25,000 per year school and have it all paid for except for $10,000 then you should almost certainly do it.

That's a very different proposition, however, than the one in your OP (against which I couldn't caution highly enough).

All the best to you, whatever you decide.
