How much will it cost to go to school for nursing?

Answer 1

How much the tuition rate is, will be strictly dependent on your college of choice. If you plan on attending a private college, then most likely the tuition will be some what higher in most cases as compared to a public or state college. It will also depend on whether you are pursuing an Associates or Bachelors in nursing. However, you must realize that the tuition rateis one thing, and the fees are another. Still, your major financialconcern should be focused on the collegesadditional fees. As an example, lets say a community college's tuition is based on $76.00 per credit. This does not include fee's such as Application fee, Registration fees, General fees, Technology fees, course fees, Lab fees, Parking fees etc. On top of this, you need to consider the cost of books, which is not inexpensive. Now to even make you feel better, here are the clinical fees of one community college I know of. Clinical fees for four semesters particular to RN, nursing. Nursing I - $3,200.00 Nursing II - $3,200.00 Nursing III - $3,200.00 Nursing IV - $4, 000.00 Please note, the above clinical fee areon top ofthe tuition and general fees. Thus you can see how this can add up. Is it worth it? Judging by thestability of the career, salaries, benefits, ability to relocated etc. YES!! Some individuals will need financial assistance which you can check out with the colleges Financial Aid Dept. If you do not qualify for Financial Aid, you can take out a Guaranteed Study Loan. In addition, ask the college's Financial Aid Office for a scholarship application, and indicate that you are applying for any scholarship thatyou may be eligible for. They will match your qualifications against the available scholarship offerings. Note: Apply for financial aid early.Remember,a college will always run out of financial resources before it runs out of eligible candidates.Youmay apply for financial aid directly on line, rather than by snail mail. If you apply on line, you will get your answer in about2 to3 weeks, rather than6 to 8 weeks. You do not even (initially) have to be an accepted student before you apply. Just indicate your college of choice. You must apply for a pin number first. This will allow you to electronically sign documentation, and if you are a Dependant, your parent or guardianwill also have to apply for one. It's really easy, just ask the financial aid office for the information or go to: http://www.fafsaonline.com/ Now, one last thing. If you are choosing nursing as a career, make sure you are choosing this field for the right reasons. In other words, if I am laying on abed in a hospital, and I am looking up at you, I want to know that I am your first priority, and not some where down the list after your salary, benefits, how many weeks vacation you get etc.Thus, make sure you are there because you have a passion for what you do, and the benefit it brings others as well as yourself.

There are no standard tuition and fee rates for colleges and universities. Each institution will have rates particular to itself. There are a number of variables to consider to include whether the institution is public or private, the geographical location, the specific program of study (some of which have greater course and/or clinical fees), and whether the school is a two year or four year institution. Once you collect the names of some colleges and universities you have an interest in, you can then research the cost specific to those institutions.

Make sure the institution is accredited by one of following responsible agencies.
