Hey all! I'm 25 with a BS currently working in health care. My previous schooling put me into about 50k worth of debt in student loans (down to 37k, paying 1000/month) I was looking to make a move in career paths that would increase my pay but require me going back to school. The two schooling options I'm looking at is either a 2 year AS in nursing program at a community college that costs about 8k. The second is through a private college that costs about 80k (yikes) but is only 12 months and allows me to graduate with a BS in nursing. Obviously the first option makes more sense to not accrue debt, but leaves me looking at an extra year of school before I can sit for the NCLEX on top of however long it'd take/cost to get my BSN. Would being able to work a year earlier and not go through the extra schooling offset the exorbitant accelerated program's cost enough to make it worth it? Or is it better to just suck it up and take the long road through school again?
