 Hi guys and welcome back to my latest video. Today's video is sponsored by the RN Academy here on YouTube. The RN Academy provides free educational videos that are a little bit more in-depth focus on disease processes, complex nursing questions, med-surg, fundamentals of nursing, and all the things that you're learning already in nursing school. So if you're interested in checking out the RN Academy, I will have the link down below. Make sure you check it out and subscribe. So in today's video, I want to talk about how much does nursing school cost and also tell you guys how much I paid for nursing school personally. So nursing school is expensive. Going to college in general is expensive. It doesn't matter if you're getting your associates or your bachelors or whatever, it's going to be a good chunk of change. And the biggest thing that affects the cost of nursing school is where you're going. Are you going out of state? Are you in-state? Are you going to a nursing school in New York City? Are you going to a nursing school in some little tiny town in Kansas? Location definitely affects how much nursing school costs and whether you're getting in-state tuition or out-of-state tuition. It's also going to be a different cost depending on if you're going to a community college or if you're going to a university. I know for the school that I went to it was like anywhere from like 400 to 600 some dollars per credit hour whereas if you went to a community college it was I think like 80 to 100 dollars per credit hour. So a significant difference in tuition costs. Personally for me, nursing school cost me around $60,000. That includes my tuition, my books, my parking fees, materials like for scrubs and my stethoscope and all those things around $60,000. I was fortunate enough to have a full ride scholarship, I shouldn't say full ride, a full tuition scholarship to my college but every semester I had to pay a couple thousand dollars out of pocket for my books or parking things that weren't covered in just the tuition. So I was thankful to have the tuition scholarship and then be able to pay for everything out of pocket with what I saved up by working in nursing school but it was a good chunk of change that's for sure. So like I mentioned the cost of nursing school is going to vary on a lot of different things. My best advice is to research schools in your area and look up how much it's going to cost per credit hour and then also factor in things like driving time, parking, books, all those little things that add up that you end up paying for out of pocket. If you have a scholarship or if you don't have a scholarship then you get loans and it's covered by that. But yes, nursing school is going to be expensive but when you graduate nursing school you're pretty much guaranteed. I don't use the word guaranteed because you know it really depends on the area but nursing is in high demand and so you pretty much have a guaranteed good starting income when you get out of nursing school which is great.
