Additional Nursing Costs and Fees

This list is NOT exhaustive, and estimates are based on past and current trends. Fees and costs may increase or decrease depending on factors like inflation, textbook updates, insurance cost adjustments, fee waivers, etc.

  • Additional Nursing Uniform Costs
    • All ASN nursing students are required purchase bandages scissors and a watch with a sweep second hand.
    • ASN and BSN students attending the Pinning Ceremony are required to purchase white variations of their clinical uniform (white scrub top, bottom, socks/stockings, shoes) if the student does not already have these components.
  • Textbook Costs
    • Textbook costs vary from program to program and can be mitigated by purchasing used or eBook variants of the required texts. Additionally, multiple sites also permit students to "rent" textbooks at a significantly reduced rate.
  • Mandatory Student Health Insurance
    • Students who are already covered by an insurance policy (i.e., through parent plans, family plans, or employer-sponsored plans) can easily opt out of the plan by applying for a waiver though a secure online process. Thus, this fee can be waived completely depending on your current health insurance coverage. Once the information has been verified and approved, a waiver will be processed and posted to the student’s account. The waiver is only available for a specific time frame; therefore, students must apply in a timely fashion or they will be billed for the USG SHIP. Students who fail to submit credible health insurance and opt out online will automatically be enrolled in and billed for the system-wide student health insurance plan.
  • Unexpected Additional Clinical Site Costs
    • Students are subjected to compulsory background checks per clinical agency requirements and may also be required to submit to random tests for illegal use of controlled substance as a provided by the law or regulations of the contracting agency. If the site refuses to allow a student to attend clinical experiences, the nursing program is not obligated to find another clinical site.
