<p>*You should consider whether it makes fiscal sense to spend a lot of money to get a nursing degree at a private or OOS school rather than at your local state school. </p>
<p>Once you get licensed, it doesn’t matter that much where you went to school. And entry level nursing jobs aren’t plentiful in some areas. </p>
<p>I know someone who regrets her choice when she sees how long she’ll be paying off those loans.*</p>
<p>This is all very true ^^^</p>
<p>Have you asked your parents how much they’ll pay each year? </p>
<p>You don’t want to rack up debt or have your family struggle to pay for a pricey school when very good nursing programs are likely offered at your state school or elsewhere.</p>
<p>USC (calif) does not have an undergrad nursing program. Frankly, you’re going to find that some top private schools don’t offer undergrad nursing…maybe because it’s really not cost effective for undergrads to pay $60k per year for a BSN when a very fine program can be had at person’s state school for a fraction of the price.</p>
