Stanbridge RN program for 85k? Should I do it?

Updated:   Published

Hi everyone,

I'm going to apply for the RN program at Stanbridge University, CA, they raised the tuition fee to 85k. I would like to know if anyone here has done or is doing the RN program at this school. How is the program, and Is it worth that much money to join this school? Thanks.

No, not yet. Do you know about Stanbridge’s RN program?

I don't know too much about the RN program. I'm currently enrolled in the LVN program. That program starts in January. I haven't been able to find As many reviews about the school as I would like. If you check Yelp, you can find a few reviews there. These damn for-profit schools are expensive.

I read many reviews; many say the tuition fee is expensive. Today I talked to the school, and they said they no longer offer the ADN program. Now they offer a BSN program only, which takes three years, and the tuition fee is $130k, the same as West Coast University. I think it is way too much for a nursing degree. 130k plus student loan interest, I may end up with 150k in debt after three years. I give up on this school. Good luck with your LVN program.

NOT worth it! That's way too much money for any nursing program. You'd have more debt than some medical students. You should check out Western Governors University's BSN Pre-licensure program if you live in one of the areas they offer it (moving is also an option). The program is only $30k, and they offer some scholarships.

Thanks for your information. I just checked the school website, and the BSN pre-licensure program and its tuition seem reasonable; however, for now, it's only available in these states: Florida, Indiana, Texas, and Utah. California is pending until further notice. I think it's because of the new covid wave.
