4. Kaplan college in San Diego RN program

   SOCALRACERX911_RN replied to mireillegrale's topic in California

   If this is your only option, then go for it. 45k is a lot of money to payback and can be a very big burden later on. If you ever have to file for bankruptcy, student loans don't go away (correct me if I'm wrong on this). In my situation I had to work...
