Well said mareeh...i recently graduated from kaplan in Dec. I now work in the ER starting out at 34 an hour...for me, kaplan was a great school and i enjoyed every bit of it. all of the instructors and staff really want you to reach your goals..i sarted in 06. i did all my pre-reqs there and i paid 45,000.. i have about 30000 in school loans but it was worth it.. i know people who got on wait lists when i started in 06 and they are either starting a program this year or still waiting. if you are considering going to kaplan, make you experience the type that you want. no one is going to hold your hand during this process and it needs to be all you. i knew of the "bad" rep "maric" had before going there but you know what, everyone is different and only YOU can represent yourself and what you have to offer. work hard and do whats best for you..if you really want to get your BSN after, go to Pheniox..trust me, if you really want to, time will not be a problem as they have online and night classes..money will not be a problem then considering you will be making over 60000 a year :)
