Outcomes Overview
Every graduate finds employment immediately after completing their nursing program, with median first-year earnings reaching $61,534. The debt-to-earnings ratio sits at just 21%, well below the federal threshold of 30% that signals financial stress. Monthly loan payments of $135 consume only 2.6% of typical graduate income, making this one of the most affordable healthcare education investments available. Most graduates enter high-demand nursing roles in Chicago-area hospitals and healthcare systems. Federal borrowing affects 61% of students, but the combination of strong starting salaries and modest debt loads creates manageable repayment scenarios. CAAN delivers a strong return on investment for aspiring nurses.
