105	Probably not as it is a community college and if I go on, it will be to a BSN program.
106	Yes
107	yes
108	Yes
109	yes
110	No
111	No...I hate school
112	no I would like to go larger University for a B.S.N.
113	Yes to Ivy Tech State College and Bethel College
114	yes

116	yes
117	Possibly
118	will need further education from another college
119	Absolutely not!!!
120	Yes
121	Yes.
122	NO
123	Yes and I am.
124	Yes
125	Yes
126	Sure, but I live in another state now.
127	Absolutely return to North Park University (Chicago, IL)
128	I would not return to Aurora U. but I might consider staying at North Park for my MBA
129	Yeah
130	Yes, but not because I value the program. Once completing my Associates, I'll only have one more year to my Bachelors
131	Can go no further at CTC.
132	no
133	yes
134	yes
135	Yes.
136	Yes
137	Yes
138	I have
139	Yes
140	Yes
141	It only offered an Associate degree. Also, I don't live there anymore. It was a good school, but the answer would be no.
142	Yes
143	Yes --- I'm considering going for a Doctorate.
144	Undecided, but probably no.
145	Yes
146	yes
147	Yes
148	Not today- would go right into a BSN program.
149	yes
150	Yes
151	YES
152	No
153	Yes
154	No
155	NO
156	Yes
157	No
158	yes
159	yes
160	I am in the Masters program now.
161	yes, I loved UVA
162	Plan to go to USF for BS at least maybe further
163	yes
164	Yes
165	Yes
166	n/a
167	yes
168	Possibly
169	Yes
170	Yes I would but nothing higher is offered there because it's only a junior college.
171	no
172	You must be kidding.
173	no
174	yes
175	Nope. Now a program for degrees for practicing nurses, no "first timers" to the profession. Maintains the status quo ante; less than progressive for us all.
176	Yes
177	I would, but I'm not, d/t where I'm working having a RN to BSN Program
178	yes
179	Yes.
180	no - the College closed in 1992
181	yes
182	Yes
183	Yes
184	No longer live in the area
185	YES
186	Yes
187	yes
188	No, they offer no further education in nursing.
189	No
190	yes
191	yes
192	maybe
193	N/A
194	Yes
195	I would rather choose other school, for a change. I don’t want to be stock up in just one school. I want to look for other environment and experience what they can offer.
196	No I am now out of the state
197	yes
198	I will be taking a couple of classes I need as general ed for my BSN degree from the community college I received my ADN from, but since it is a 2 year school, there are no further nursing degrees possible there. I would take individual classes there if the content was of interest to me or if I wanted some other non-nursing education. With the newly built Cal State San Bernardino satellite campus, there will now be an ADN program at College of the Desert as there has been. In addition, there will be a 4 year classroom and practicum BSN program with the first 2 years at College of the Desert and the remaining 2 years at Cal State, Palm Desert Campus; there is also an RN to BSN online/classroom program at Cal State, PDC. There is also a similar combination MSN program at the same facility. With the new UC Riverside, Palm Desert, there is hope that advanced doctoral education in nursing and healthcare management will be available in the future.
199	no
200	No, they don't offer any graduate courses.
201	Yes
202	no
203	Sure. They have a 98% success rate for passing NCLEX.
204	school no longer open
205	Yes, but moved.
206	Yes
207	yes, PHD
208	Since the school is only a community college, probably not.
209	Yes
210	Yes
211	Yes.
212	Maybe
213	Yes, but I don't need any formal education now (degree).
214	Yes
215	yes
216	yes
217	Yes I would actually yes I will.
218	Will wait to see how whole program goes. So far SU's Nursing program seems very disorganized.
219	YES
220	Yes
221	Yes, if advanced training was available. it’s not though
222	I am.
223	Unsure as of this time
224	neither of my alma maters offer post-graduate degrees
225	yes
226	yes
227	Possibly, there are more and more schools willing to give you a MSN if you agree to work for them while in school... Tempting.
228	Yes
229	Yes
230	maybe
231	no
232	yes
233	no
234	yes
235	They do not offer the RN course and I am trying to get into a class to start now
236	Yes

7. How much was your education and do you feel you got your monies worth?
1	$19,500.00, yes but it was pushing the envelope.
2	I had the HOPE scholarship- without the HOPE, I would have spent 12,000
3	Free (scholarship), so, yes I did.
4	Probably @ 30,000 - pretty independent learning I thought
5	I don't know. The Army paid for my BSN and MS, and I had traineeships for my PhD. I paid fees and some tuition, but never added it all up. I think my education was worth the time and effort I put into it, and also the money I did pay was well spent.
6	? Yes
7	Less than 20K.It was very well worth the money.
8	10,000 yes
9	I wasn't as expensive as others, but it was still costly. The extra outside expenses were costly.
10	Still working on it so not sure how much it will end up costing but I know it’s worth it.
11	less than $1,000 a semester, I definitely got my money's worth
12	Not sure of the cost...Was paid for by a special grant for laid off employees. None the less, even if I had to pay for it I know it was worth it simply because of the opportunity that the education made available.
13	? DON'T REMBER
14	About 10,000 dollars total for the program itself. yes
15	I had the GI Bill to help and minimal student loans. As for a dollar amount I couldn’t say exactly
16	very cheep, and well worth the education
17	17000 and yes got my money's worth
18	10,000 no
19	25K. Very much so.
20	don’t remember
21	$10,000 yes
22	n/a
23	bs scholarship diploma 24,27,30,33,36,39,42 per credit hour depending on year
24	approx. $8000.00, and yes
25	Taking my pre req at the 4yr catholic college was a waste of time and effort. A community college could have done the same with more respect. The school of nursing traded 3 years of school for 3 years of service. That was worth it, I had experiences in nursing school that have served me to this day. No surprises I saw it, did it or had it explained to me.
26	60,000 not sure
27	$18K very good school private and small
28	yes
29	cost of books ohh yea
30	yes
31	Apprx. $4000.00 for the entire program, including NCLEX fees, criminal check/fingerprinting, NLNs, uniforms, etc.
32	free except for books (back in 1970)
33	I owe $35,000 in student loans for my Bachelor's degree and have just added another $15,000 for this recent graduate degree. I am appreciative of being able to attend college as the cost of being broke. I think tuition is too high of a cost considering how much more we learn on the floor versus a classroom/theory education. I know of many good nurse candidates who will not apply for nurse programs because of the cost and lack of financial support.
34	Free, yes
35	good education, tough instructors
36	I don't remember the cost, my place of employment paid my full tuition. I got more then the moneys worth.
37	I paid approx $250 per credit hour for BSN and 350 per credit hour for MSN. Yes I feel the money was worth it.
38	I can't remember
39	City College - minimal. Yes.
40	Not sure. A few thousand dollars. Yes I got my moneys worth
41	It was so long ago, I don't remember cost. I do feel it was worth the cost (small, private college)
42	Nursing school was $200 per year; that included room and board! (3-year diploma program) I'd say I got my money's worth. Of course, we also worked like dogs.
43	~$110,000
44	7000 yes
45	$52/credit hour. The classes in the program add up to 32 credit hours over 2 years. This does not include prerequisites and roughly $1000 in required texts
46	NA
47	The tuition is over $15,000 per year. I feel I could be getting more for what I pay.
48	my education was $12,000.00 in 1991
49	$1000 AUS. Oh yes.
50	Back in the early 90's, about 30k or so. Yes I did get my moneys worth.
51	42,000. Not sure if I got my money's worth, but my career is worth it.
52	??? yes whatever the price
53	All of it
54	A Lot! It has been over 24 years
55	? I don't remember exactly, but I do feel I got my money's worth.
56	20,000 Yes it was worth it
57	Unknown cost and it was worth it.
58	16,000 Yes
59	Approx. $6000.00. Yes
60	Paid for by the Army, approximately $30,000. Well worth it
61	18, 500 per year and no, school was a lot of politics and not as much help- too much crammed into four years
62	yes approx 15,000
63	My bachelor was 120 hours at about $80/hour plus other expenses. My R.N. diploma tuition was free. Books cost around $2000
64	$45,000...sure
65	a lot
66	GI Bill, yes
67	40000 Yes
68	It’s cheaper as I spend my nursing education in my own country then after that I practice abroad like in Dubai and now in London.
69	$40,000 Definitely my money's worth - the best investment I ever made!
70	20K more or less. The real truth is that when you get out of school you know just enough to be dangerous.
71	16K for hospital RN diploma
72	100%
73	$40,000 and NO. See # 6 above.
74	$1000 per semester. Very economic!
75	Was second career, used 7500.00 in Stafford loans and 20,000.00 from retirement for school and to support my family. Was worth every penny.
76	I received assistance for my LPN; my RN is costing around 4K. Yes well worth it.
77	This was in 1980 - 82, probably cheep, and then a quick BSN wasn't expensive at all.
78	18000
79	I feel I got more than my moneys worth
80	well worth it
81	I got my money's worth but as for total cost...it was reasonable
82	YAA

85	F sc
86	30,000. Yes
87	RN- about 3500 BS- about 20000 Yes, both degrees have helped me through life. Would do it again.
88	6K - yes
89	This was 30 years ago; I can't remember how much it cost. Yes it was worth it.
90	NOT PRESISE
91	I owe $40,000 in student loans
92	paid by national health service and I was bursaried to the cost of £475 per calender month
93	I recieved a bursary which covered all costs.
94	Total cost was about $1,300.00. I absolutely got my money's worth.
95	yes
96	25,000, no needed more info on practice
97	very reasonable. I got my monies worth
98	can't remember; worth it.
99	It was 20 years ago, so I do not remember the exact total cost. I remember that it was cheap, even by 1978-1980 standards. Totally worth it.
100	36000/yr was a hefty price. I got exposure and connections that will last a lifetime. You cannot put a price on networking with nursing pioneers.
101	6k per semesester
102	About $850 per quarter for tuition times six. About $1500 total for books. Yes, I got my money's worth because I passed the nclex.

111	education is funded by the govt by the NHS.
112	yes, $714/ credit
113	alot
114	about $16,000 Yes
115	government funding due to loss of job
116	$30,000 Tuition $23,000 For year's worth of living expenses My education at Loyola was a complete and total waste of my time and money.
117	Well worth the cost of the program, It's been nine years so the cost is somewhere in the long term memory bank. But I believe less than 3000.00
118	$36/unit plus books
119	APROX $1000 TUITION FOR COMPLETE CYCLE PLUS BOOKS ETC...
120	30,000. Yes
121	60000. Yes
122	About $5000, Yes
123	I can't recall specific costs. Tuitiion was relatively inexpensive in CA community colleges at the time(late 1980s, early 1990's). I recall books being more costly than anything else.
124	ADN - $5000 (absolutely) BSN - $23,000 (absolutely) MSN - $25,000 when completed (absolutely)
125	My Undergraduate was about 50 K and although I am glad I got a degree that allows me to do what I love, I now realize I should have shopped for quality and price instead of convenience
126	I
127	I went to school on the VA Voc. Rehab program. I didn't pay anything. As far as what the government got out of their investment, probably not much. Between my Paramedic Training and Experience and my LPN experience and training, I didn't learn anything new

135	I got my money's worth as now I have a prosperous career
136	~$25,000. Yes I did.
137	Tuition covered with Board of Governor's Grant and books are waived $250 off by EOPS.
138	The cost was reasonable as most Community Colleges are; about $50/credit hour.
139	Inexpensive- community college...great value!
140	Probably $20,000 total --- and YES, I did get my money's worth.
141	35 000. Yes it was definitely worth the money. Especially when most degrees these days cannot get you a job as soon as you graduate.
142	2500 for ADN 6000 for BSN 10,000 for MSHA
143	Roughly $100,000 and yes.

164	$98 credit hour. yes
165	It was worth every penny although I cannot guesstimate how much it was
166	Over $20,000 in student loans between two degrees. I got my moneys worth if you consider the education. But not if you look at the salary
167	Yes it was worth my money.
168	msc nsg
169	Bellevue and Mills was a city school and free.
170	Free- I had grants and loans that covered everything. Approx: $14,000

184	Roughly 4,500 at Tri-Rivers, and around 8,000 at North Central. Yes I got my moneys worth.
185	Expensive, in the 14 years I have been a nurse, have worked about 50-60% of time. Attribute that to male discrimination.
186	12,000
187	~7000, yes
188	unable to calculate but worth it
189	Well, it's about $35,000 a year!
190	Too much, no
191	It's quiet big amount in our own currency. I think I learned in that school but not all that I am expecting to give me.
192	Around 15,000 all totaled and yes, for the job I now have
193	5 years,i need more cash
194	The community college ADN program was relatively inexpensive and certainly cost effective.
195	About $4500. I got my moneys worth
196	For $600 a semester, I was given the knowledge to pass the boards. All my practical skills and knowledge, I have obtained in the field.

201	$6500. Yes, got my moneys worth
202	expensive, and Yes I got my monies worth
203	pretty sure
204	It will most like b around $3000.00 and I feel it wiil bewell worth the cost.
205	State disability fund. School was free. Books,pens ,pencils,everything.
206	$2000.00 for the associates and $2000.00 for the bachelors. Well worth the money.
207	About 20k per year. Definately worth it.
208	Several years ago, taken part time, don't really remeber cost. Money's worth, sort of.
209	Total or just for the basic program? The stem is unclear. Wouldn't it be better to rate the quality of the curriculum? I would estimate for the BSN it was in excess of $50k, but that was over 20 years ago. The masters and doctoral degree probably total $120K. Why don't you ask who accredited the program and what level of nursing education (ADN, DIP, or BSN)? That would be more valuable wouldn't it?
210	$8000, yes
211	from $750.00 plus the military paid for some of it.
212	1000's yes
213	So far it is running arouond $2000.00 a semester and it has been worth every penny.

217	$0 out of pocket for tuition, part county education program. Paid for books, uniforms etc.......don't recall amounts, too many years ago
218	All of it.

220	Got much more than my money's worth. Don't remember the $ amount - that was almost 30 years ago!!
221	community college - - very inexpensive, definitely got my money's worth
222	12,000 and yes
223	The cost for the school was 60,000 of which ultimately, I walked out 30,000 in debt. I made 30,000 more the first year out of school than I had the previous few years before entering school. I would say very few things are worth 30,000 but the earning potential made any RN degree worth while.
224	Was in 1974; they had a discount then to try an increase the nursing population, due to nursing shortage. Got money's worth.
225	over 80,000, yes
226	nothing

17	You
18	yes
19	I do.
20	yes
21	yes
22	yes
23	absolutely
24	yes
25	It is the safest job in the world. If you don't like your area you can move. If you end up like the poor folks in Gulf coast or any area. You take your RN with you and start up in less than a week or two. The hours are long and it is stressful but you can making a good life from it.
26	yes

31	Yes.
32	Yes, I have.

37	Yes
38	Yes
39	Yes
40	My sons.
41	yes. It is a great profession
42	Yes
43	Yes
44	I would tell them about the gratification and rewarding opportunities to be instrumental in helping someone return to their baseline quality of life or help them adapt to changes brought on by illness. Just as important is the help one can provide to a patient's family during their time of need.
45	yes
46	Yes
47	yes
48	Yes
49	i always do
50	Yes.
51	I do, but I am disenchanted with the dissrespect I felt in nursing. I went into Medical Sales.
52	Dont do it, unless you really want to help people and if you really believe that you can make a difference in healthcare. Its not a good choice just because there is job security.
53	yes
54	Yes very much so
55	Yes
56	Yes. I do.
57	Yes

120	I would advise the majority of my male friends to not enter the nursing profession or go to school at a BSN program.

123	YES
124	Yes
125	Yes
126	Yes
127	Sure. However, I would be honest. The truth is that nursing is a very difficult career path, especially for a man. To be effective as a nurse, I feel you have to be compassionate, caring, and able to serve others. Add to this the fact that you often have hostile female coworkers, condescending physicians, and hospital administrations that don't appreciate your true worth. Alot of men simply don't meet the above criteria and/or aren't willing to put up with the bullshit. I do try to convey the rewards found in the field, though.
128	You bet - Great profession for men. Excellent opportunities for clinical or leadership advancement.
129	I do all the time
130	Yes, absolutely
131	Yes I do frequently.
132	no
