If you are looking for a job in nursing, you might consider a Community College which would be less expensive. Yes, there are waiting lists. I know many nurses that went that route (one even did it through a correspondence school) found employment, and then took additional online courses to get their BS and Masters while their employer paid! They owed less money after completing school and were able to purchase homes and cars instead of paying off student loans. This is your choice, but make it a business decision. Speak with some Human Resource Directors in Hospitals to see what the difference in pay is between an RN and BSN.

Nursing is VERY competitive--you cannot go wrong starting of at UM and transferring later if you need to. There are waitlists at all nursing programs in the country.
