RN-BSN How much ballpark?

Published

I've been calling up schools and not one gives a ballpark or even just an estimate to how much. I can't just start the program without knowing details.. If you guys know or went to some RN-BSN program please let me know some infos.

I'm looking into TX and New Mexico and maybe Lousiana.

Depends on whether it's a state school or a private institution.

JUST your NURS classes at a private school will probably cost in excess of 20K conservatively, at my school (in Michigan, FWIW), these classes were closer to 40K.

Depends on where you go. There are online RN-BSN programs that are pretty inexpensive. At Western Governors University, if you finish it in two terms (one year), it will cost you about $7500. Ft. Hayes costs (I think) around $10-12,000 for the whole program. If you go to a place like University of Phoenix (for profit), it will cost you around $30-40K.

If you go to the program websites, it should give you specific information about the tuition and how much it costs there on the website. If it doesn't, and they are hesitant to tell you, then I would probably skip them, as that's not a good sign of a reputable school.

There is a forum here for online schools - you should check it out.
