$75k for an associate's degree and that doesn't include any required pre-req's.

Hope that's a joke. Otherwise it's RIDICULOUS!

In-state community college tuition for an ADN in DE is less than 10K...total!

You’re not in California are you? Almost every nursing program is impacted like a couple years out impacted sometimes and those are the only affordable ones if you’re patient and have very competitive grades scores and or are lucky if it’s lottery based then you can get in otherwise you pay 50-100k it’s ridiculous

So I did talked to them Yesterday. It is not a Hybrid class. It is In person class for $75K. It’s crazy expensive For ADN program. Cross out off my list.

Nightingale is not much cheaper only slightly when accounting for credits you already have on top of them not being regionally accredited so you’re very limited on where you can continue your education if you plan to and you have to leave the state for clinicals doesn’t seem worth it to me I decided not to pursue

@Teejay323 it’s a BSN program. But, I wish you the best in your endeavors.

@Teejay323 Hi there! I have been researching for more information about Smith Chason Nursing school because I only wanna do ADN program and I don't have any science prerequisites. Did you apply at Smith Chason?

Hello Everyone,

I am a first time nursing student. Just wanted to ask if any of you guys have applied for this school? Any information is much appreciated. I will be speaking with admission on Monday.

Hello everyone,

So I was accepted to start on October 2022 since I am already done with all my prerequisites and general classes. My total tuition was going to be 49k and everything was good until they wanted me to sign an agreement document that said my first day of school was 04/04/2022 and last day to drop school with full tuition was 04/11/2022 and also it said my total tuition cost was $77,000. How in the world was I going to sign an agreement with information that was different from what I was told? If I was going to start on 10/2022 why did I have to sign a paper saying I was starting 04/2022, so what if during those months in between I had an emergency or whatever the case could be, and I had to cancel? My last day to drop/cancel according to the document I signed was 04/11/2022, so what then? Also, why would I sign a paper saying my tuition was $77,000 when financial aid told me it was $49,000? According to the lady that spoke to me, it was just a document so they can submit to BRN but would get another agreement before 10/2022, like NO I needed something in that moment, to cover me not just them and their business. So I decided to withdraw my application because I did not feel comfortable at all. Very sad because I was very excited to finally be accepted into a nursing program, but I can not attend a school that only looks out for themselves. Maybe I was wrong for making that decision, but honestly, since I will be paying out of pocket with no loans, I need to look out for myself, and my money.

Just wanted to share my experience! Good luck to those who are already going to this school or have been accepted! ?

Has anyone enrolled for this school? I'll be starting for the October 3rd cohort. Wanted to see if anyone else was starting.

Can anyone provide any updates how the program is going for them? Also, how much does it cost if you have all your prerequisites done? Thanks in advance!
