In addition to the more obvious expenses, there are several hidden costs associated with a nursing career:
1. Transportation and Housing: If the nursing program is not local, students may need to budget for transportation and housing costs. 2. Childcare: For students with children, childcare can be a significant expense while attending classes and clinical rotations. 3. Technology: Reliable technology, including a laptop and internet access, is essential for modern nursing education. 4. Licensing Fees: Beyond initial certification, nurses often need to pay for state licensing and renewal fees.
