Does anyone know the tuition and fees for Platt College's RN program? I am seriously considering attending either the Tulsa campus this summer or the OKC campus in early 2009. I already am aware of the lack of accreditation regarding this school, so no need to warn me. ;)

I believe they were charging $21,000 last year, but I'm wondering if they increased the tuition since then. Thanks in advance for any information!

Commuter have you also checked into TCC, I believe they have some sort of bridge from LPN to RN. It would probably be many thousands cheaper.

Are you relocating to the area????

I know here at UCO (University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond) we accept all the LPN's that apply in our LPN-RN program--it's not competitive for LPNs here. And it would be a LOT cheaper than at Platt not to mention UCO is an excellent school. I love it!

Just wanted to throw that out there ;)

My problem is that I cannot pass algebra. I have my prerequisites completed for most of the bridge programs in my area (DFW, Texas), but the community colleges are requiring that I display competency in college algebra. It is called "TSI Exemption" in this neck of the woods.

I scored so low in the math portions of the TSI testing, that Texas is requiring me to take 3 remedial classes (arithmetic, elementary algebra, and college algebra). I enrolled in the arithmetic last summer, but the class was progressing too fast for my personal pace, so I dropped it.

If I am unable to pass a college algebra class in TX, I will also be unable to pass one in OK. The nice thing about Platt is that they do not require any algebra whatsoever, which is why I am willing to shell out the expensive tuition money to attend one of their campuses.

Of course I've checked into TCC. That's where I took all my prerequisites. However, all of the bridge programs in DFW are fiercely competitive for the purposes of admission. I've looked into about 14 bridge programs in and around DFW, but they all require that I be "TSI exempt" in college algebra. I can become TSI exempt by either passing college algebra (which I cannot), or by taking the three remedial math classes (which would take another 18 months).

I'd rather pay the high-priced tuition at a private institution that does not require me to take algebra.

I am currently attendng Platt's LPN/RN bridge program and will hopefully graduate in 5 mos. The tuition is $21K. Not to worry about passing algebra. The program includes all your prereqs in the first 4 -5 months; you won't have to attend any that you have already passed. Hope this infor helps.
