Since you haven't gotten any responses I figured it would be nice to show that your post has at least been seen.
As for the question, I don't have a lot of input. $100K for a BSN seems crazy to me.
Hopefully some other member (more learned and experienced) comes along and offers insight.
I'm glad to hear that it helped you during your admissions process, and congrats on your upcoming start to medical school! I am really troubled at the cost of this degree but do understand the utility of being able to make decent money during the application process. Tough spot.Wow, that’s a lot! My ABSN was 40K if you didn’t have scholarships. Personally, I found being a nurse and being pre med to be helpful, but it also may shoot you sideways on a few theories because you know the theory vs what actually happens in real life. I’ve made a good income while preparing and continues to get good experience. I’m staying on call when i start Medical school in 4 weeks - and the experience was something that my interviewers remarked on as an impressive addition. Considering my poor MCAT score, it’s probably a big reason why I got in.
How are your grades from core science classes like orgo/gen chem/bio chem? That is an obscene amount for a BSN. A lot of RNs want to be physicians, but they don't have the ability to put in the amount of study time to do well on core classes. Also, the BSN will help you 0 percent for doing well on the MCAT. Just take a little time to decide what you really want to pursue, as going back and forth will get expensive. Best of luck!
Oh yes I understand that 100%. I think that I can handle those courses after having improved my study skills and maturity as a student in general. I would rather be taking those classes than my nursing classes right now.Cool! Orgo/Gen Chem/Physics/Cell Bio/Genetics will help you out the most. Neuro courses are fascinating but will not improve your MCAT score.
