Like Ive stated before I have a good job right now and it pays the bills. with a daughter and needing another income to help with some financial breathing room ADN is the best option as of right now.

She told me she would like to work for a pediatrician or a gynecologist due to her love for children which i believe she would need a BSN for??

why are the classes $4500 a semester? does that seem high especially for BRCC? Im trying to find the cheapest tuition cost due to the fact that I am not sure if the financial aid would cover the whole amount.

and I heard that Baton Rouge General offers a program as well... is that worth looking into?

Also does Obamacare screw everything up for the medical field?

I already posted about BRG's nursing program. It's a diploma program and where I got my nursing diploma from. Very good program for just a diploma program. Lots of clinical experience and the instructors were awesome. They always have a high pass rate for the NCLEX as well( they went like 10 years in a row with 100% pass rate).

Program is a 2 year program that starts every January. You go spring, summer, fall, spring and back in the fall to graduate in December. You are in class everyday from like 8 am until 3-4 pm M-F so it makes working another job around it a challenge.

Nursing programs are in demand....so you are gonna pay $$$ for them. My online RN to BSN program will cost like 18k-20k for an only 14-18 month program.

This was from a couple pages back. . . I'll just leave it here again.

Went to the nursing school off Julia St. And there program takes 2 yrs at $4500 a semester.

each semester at BRCC has been about $1000-1500 after all fees, depending on how many classes were taken. . .
(I pretty much followed the curriculum plan that is on the BRCC website)

and to add to that, I will be applying to ULL's RN to BSN program either in the fall or next spring. . . cost is a little over $8k and can be completed within 10 months, all while employed full time.
