Stephanie’s Answer
I am an occupational therapist which requires at least a master’s degree. I was fortunate to go to a school that offered a dual-degree program meaning I was doing graduate work as an undergraduate. I graduated with my master’s degree in five and a half years. I went to a private college, so it was expensive. I had a yearly scholarship for $5000. I still paid about $19,000 out of pocket each year and that was 20+ years ago. I too worked in a health related field during college working in a group home for residents with significant physical and mental disabilities. I also had to volunteer prior to applying to my program and volunteered at a hospital during high school.

I invested time at school but also by taking jobs in the medical field while I was in school. I worked in the hospital as an extern in the NICU. I also worked for a quadriplegic, helping him with morning and night care.
Money for tuition, books, a watch with a second hand, a stethoscope, appropriate uniform, and nursing shoes.
If you aren’t living at home you have all of those expenses as well. Many programs have financial aid.
I wish I could tell you the amount but it’s been so long.
