A consumer is a person or organization that uses economic services or commodities. In economic systems consumers are utilities expressed in the decision to trade or not.
Nursing School Tuition Costs: In most cases, you can expect to pay between $2,500-10,000 per semester (depending on the school). When I graduated from nursing school a few years ago, my tuition was about $3,400 or so per semester. This has gone up slightly, and now the same school (as of 2012) charges about $3,700. Again, this number can vary depending on the type of school, the degree type, and also the local costs of living.
Many nursing students go on to complete graduate studies. Tuition is more affordable than most programs of this caliber at $300 per credit. It is very possible to complete the 8 semester program in as little as 18 months.
