Outcomes Overview
Saint Anthony nursing graduates enter the workforce with strong financial prospects. The median debt of $20,000 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.26, meaning graduates earn nearly four times their debt load annually. Monthly loan payments of $212 represent only 3.3% of median monthly income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 100% employment rate reflects the critical nursing shortage nationwide. Graduates typically work in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities across Illinois. The specialized nursing focus means students avoid paying for unrelated coursework. With median earnings of $77,709 starting immediately after graduation, this represents a strong return on investment for healthcare-focused students.
