Hello I live in ohio, planning to start next semester with the community college nursing program. I have to pay out of state tuition because I am not a permanent resident. I am thinking of two scenarios: 1) To start with LPN program,work any job while studying, graduate, work for a year and then do the LPN-RN. ( The total cost of LPN for out of state where I live is almost 12000$) all requirements except for medical insurance cost. 2) Or to start the ADN, work while studying. However, even if I could work while studying in this case, I am not sure if I can mange my tuition or I will have to apply for a loan. I am not eligible for FAFSA loans so I will have to apply for student loan from a private institution. I do not know how long it may take me to pay it back after graduation?? ( The cost of ADN for out of state is almost 20000$) including books and other requirements except for the medical insurance cost. I am confused , which option would you recommend Thank you
