I went to Platt. My monthly payments are $250/month. I would recommend Platt as long as you can study and be in class everyday. It is hard but very structured. My class started out with 52 and 27 graduated. The people that don't make it are the ones not committed. Tulsa and surrounding area starting pay at nursing homes are $17-19/h, hospitals are $14-16/hour with shift diff. I started at a nursing home making $18/h now working in a hospital making $16/h + shift diff. Hope this helps
