HM8404 Good idea. There's no wait list in my community college so that's definitely a plus

BlueSunRise: what state did u get a job at? Like how far from home? And do u have an ADN or BSN?

Katieerin I think I am going to do the exact same thing.mi am going for my associates and then get a job with some reimbursement hopefully to do my BSN. A BSN right from the start sounds great but it won't when I owe $50k or more. I know I'll be miserable with this huge debt in my shoulders. Maybe if my parents were paying for my school I would go balls out lol

Yvi, yes my friend graduated from there in the Addison campus n she loved it but her parents were paying for the majority of it. I think I'm just doing my ADN first n then get a job while I pay for my BSN

I totally feel you! And 9k would only cover one semester. $645 a credit hour for credits 1-6 and $100 credits 7 and up. Maybe Houston is cheaper

Kdrenne I love the school too! I understand it might not be much than other programs it is just harder to pay for because you have to do it all at once, if I get my associates u can work as an RN pay for the BSN. I Definately want my bachelors I'm so scared of private loans I've heard horror stories about them. My drive is about 1 hour and 40-45 mins. Almost 2. Ugh I hate this indecisiveness.

And may I ask u how ur paying for it all? What does a semester usually run up to? I live in the Rockford area so it'll take me a 1.40hr drive to and from and at my local community college there are really no wait lists since its a small town I can start my associates next fall (I just started this spring doing pre reqs) I hate the thought of private loans...

That's what my reasoning mind says but then I get all giddy thinking about my BSN diploma and living the whole college experience, I mean I am a great disciplined student and I know I can do the grades I just don't know if I can do the $$$!

I am feeling the same way. I just started taking some pre reqs at my community college and am appealed by the 3 yr BSN but I am really afraid I won't be able to pay for it. I'm only getting $10K a year and that's not gonna be enough, I'd still have a $1,400 payment a month... I don't know what to do

Hi you all wonderful people! I have been thinking about going to this school since my friend just graduated from here and she got the job she wanted. The tuition on the website says $85,000 for the whole 3 years BSN degree. I only qualify for $9,000 a year federal loan. How are you all paying for this expensive school?! Also I live 1.30 hrs away from the college so I'm also worried about all the traveling. How log do u guys have driven? And I really don't wanna take out private loans
