Metallica, I m not tryina discourage u, but lemme tell u my personal experience. Reputed health science universities are rarely cheap. It does vary acc. to state as well. The best option for you would be to browse the net and try to get as much info as possible. The one I went to earlier, I paid $6500.00 a sem. Even if u manage to get a cheap univ., I just want to make you aware about other expenses tht occur in nursing school. Make sure you have enough finance to cover the expenses tht occur prior to and in the nursing school.. ...They make u buy different stuffs almost everyday!! Trust me it kills!!! Pheww.... Try to get hold of scholarships, it really helps!! Good luck!!
