Duke, UPenn, John Hopkins ABSN - Worth the Price Tag?
Hi all,
I'm a prospective accelerated BSN student in hopes of attending nursing school some time next year, however, some of my dream schools (Duke, John Hopkins, UPenn, etc.) cost between 70k-130k+ to attend. It is my eventual plan to pursue a PhD, DNP or CRNA and as such I'm not sure if its worth paying the huge price tag for a BSN. Thoughts or opinions on this? Should I only look at less expensive programs and save my money for an advanced nursing degree? If I were to attend one of these schools, would I get what I pay for with respect to quality education, networking and job prospects?
