If you’re thinking about nursing school, one of the biggest questions on your mind is probably how much is this going to cost me? It’s a smart question. And one that deserves a clear answer. At Galen College of Nursing, we believe in transparency. That means no hidden fees and no surprises. Just clear, upfront information to help you plan your future. First, let’s look at tuition by program type. These are estimates for one academic year. Practical vocational nursing programs range from about $13,755 to $15,800, depending on location and schedule. The associate degree in nursing program costs around $ 17,784 per year. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program costs approximately $ 18,540 per year. These numbers reflect full -time enrollment with no transfer credits. If you bring in credits from another school, your cost and time could be reduced. But tuition isn’t the only cost to consider. You’ll also need books, scrubs, and equipment. For example, supplies for ADN and BSM programs average around $1,350 per year. Other one -time fees include registration, background checks, and uniforms. These can total around $500 or more. So how do you pay for it all? That’s where Galen’s support comes in. We offer guidance on financial aid, scholarships, and even employment tuition reimbursement. Financial aid includes federal loans, grants, and work study options. Our counselors help you navigate the FAFSA and loan process step by step. Scholarships are available through outside organizations, and Galen helps you find ones that fit your background and goals. If you’re employed by an HCA Healthcare facility, you may be eligible for up to $5 ,250 in tax -free reimbursement each year. And if you still need help covering costs, private loans are an option. Just be sure to compare terms and interest rates carefully. Galen partners with Fast Choice to help students compare lenders and find the best fit. Ready to take the next step?
