Would anyone care to divulge the amount of loans they took out to attend school? I am quite overwhelmed at the amount of money I am going to need to get through school. Just want to know I am not in this boat alone. I know my priority is the academics, but the money is consuming my every thought. Thanks for your help!!!!

lmdscd 51 Posts Has 7 years experience. Mar 5, 2007 Different schools charge from around $20,000 to over $50,000 plus books, travel to and from clinicals, living, ext . With me it was that plus my rn, bsn, I'll together reached very close to some of the high numbers. Payments well I had to find a job to support repayment and living .
