School prices

[tonicareer]

Just curious about what students are paying for LPN school in your state. I have been checking other states and my state seems to be quite high priced for an LPN program in either Vocational/Technical school or Community College. State colleges in my state do not offer LPN at all. The BSN programs are very expensive in state colleges and in the private colleges. Thought people might want to share tuition costs at their college for an LPN program and where it is located. Of course books and other fees count too so tell us those. Tell how long the program is too. Some states have 12 month programs, some as long as 18 months. I wonder if the higher the cost of attendence the bigger shortage of LPN's. I would eventually go for the BSN but right now the LPN is the best choice for me. Most nursing homes hire LPN's due to the lower pay of course. I think LPN's are in short supply for these jobs. (Yes I do know the reasons for that) Look forward to hearing what others are paying for school.

I started at a school that was $19000 a semester. Now I am at a school that is $1500 a semester. Godbless'em.

My current program is VERY competitive, too. Go figure. It's for BSN, but you get the money picture.
