my concern is the tuition for RN program...(i don't have any hospital experience) i heard kaplan college is so expensive since it is a private school.
i am getting out of military pretty soon and need to find out how much G.I. bill would cover for this school.
if anybody know, please let me know...

I am attending Western Governor's University because they are accredited and tuition is much more reasonable.~Willow

Be very careful about on-line programs for nursing. they have to be accedited. My daughter in Washington State and myself here in Oregon were thinking of taking some on-line classes for nursing and when we checked the RN programs, the credits were not transferable. Also call some hospitals and see if they recognize the degree from the school you are thinking of attending.

i went to the one hour nursing orientation about six weeks ago because i too am looking to apply to kaplan college in san diego this year. i asked a lot of questions of ravae smith, she’s the admissions representative that conducted the informational session, and is completely knowledgeable and thorough. here are some important facts to consider:1. enrollment is three times per year, roughly spring, summer and fall. and the application deadlines are about six weeks prior to the start dates.2. requirements to apply are; bachelor’s degree or six months medical experience, direct patient care. and you have to provide proof of either one. wonderlic test and teas scores. you can take both of these tests at kaplan college. high school diploma. transcripts. and criminal background check and urinalysis. i took the wonderlic test cold the day i went in for the briefing and scored a 29, 24 is the minimum accepted. i’m scheduled for the teas next month.3. the program is 24 months and includes all required general education courses as well.4. the approximate cost of the complete program is $52,000. military veterans receive a discount which brings the cost down to about $38,000. kaplan does not participate in the yellow ribbon program through the va. unfortunately, you can’t talk to anyone about financial aid until you are accepted into the program. the post 9/11 gi bill pays for tuition up to a certain amount and provides a bah entitlements of $2018 per month. also, if you are a military spouse mycaa offers up to $4000 for tuition but they have suspended that program for new applicants until october 2010.
