In this post we’re going to look at nursing schools in Kentucky.

• University of Kentucky
• $10,800 per year for residents (in-state), $26,400 for non-residents
• There are two options: the traditional nursing program and the accelerated program. The latter is designed for people who already have a bachelor’s in another field but want to get into nursing now. You’ll take prerequisites before you start, then take the full course load with other students in your cohort.
• Both programs at UK have four-year deadlines; if you don’t complete it in that time frame, you won’t be able to continue the program there and will have wasted time and money.
• Western Kentucky University
• $8,040 per year for residents (in-state), $18,600 for non-residents
• This school lets you choose between an RN degree or a BSN degree; they’re both good jobs but different ones we’ll get into later. The RN route is mostly classroom work with some clinical experience mixed in, while BSN has more clinical experience and makes room for broader education that might not be the most practical day-to-day but will help you if you decide to go into nursing management or teaching down the road. This is also offered through an accelerated track designed to turn out experienced nurses within a few years.* University of Louisville
• $9,096 per year for residents (in-state), $22,656 for non-residents
• At UofL’s School of Nursing—located on their Health Science Center Campus—there are several options: traditional BSN students can go through either campus or online classes; students who’ve completed their general ed can apply as upperdivision students; RNS can apply to get their 4year degrees or just jump right into MSN classes; you can even do dualeducation programs like getting a PhD while earning your master’s or doing fasttrack nurseanesthetist
