Torn about nursing school

Published

I am really torn. I live in Orlando,FL and I got accepted into Florida Hospital College RN program for Fall 2010. I was so excited because I have worked so hard to get to this point. However, I am now discouraged because it is a very expensive school. I have to buy a 1700 laptop, books are 1000 and health insurance almost 700 and that does not include tuition. I know laptop and books is a one time deal (its for the whole program) but it seems like so much money. I can not work full time in the program, I want to do really well so I need to take out a lot of student loans. I am so torn if I should do it or not since it is so costly. My GPA is really good but I know the schools in my area are so competitive that I don't know if I could get in anywhere else again.Id appreciate anyones advice. :)

I agree with attempting to go to other programs. I attend FSCJ.....and FLWorksource pays all my tuition, books, fees, uniforms, Kaplan NCLEX review, Evolve NCLEX review, Cost of NCLEX *and* ACLS!!!!! (Not to mention the $5/class day stipend to offset the cost of gasoline.)

We were not required to have a laptop. I am in term 4 and I only got my first laptop this past May!
