   I am interested in hearing what your thoughts are on the cost of the program? I know you mentioned it scares a lot of people away. But for someone who will need to take out loans to afford tuition - does it seem worth it? I have been getting a lot of...

    Thanks, this is super helpful! I have explored lots of options and the ABSN is the fastest way to start my nursing career, especially considering I have just turned 30. Ideally I would love to work in a shortage area or commit to a loan repayme...
