Did they also go to a (nursing) school in a cheaper, rural area?

NACs don't go to nursing school.

Yeah OK, I should have put another question mark.

The point still stands, I think, at least sometimes.

I'm not sure on specifics, so maybe I'm wrong and it doesn't stand! I can admit that I'm wrong, if so. :)

I don't care, I just like you.

Yeah. School for these positions is pretty cheap. At least I know my self-described trailer trash ex's mom went into nursing on the cheap without leaving that cheap town.

Interesting, thanks.

I was asking a real question. I kind of guess that there were cheaper, more local options, but wasn't sure.

Np, I found this link. I was thinking of the associate's degree version. The different levels of education might cloud the picture here. I think the person I was talking about went to community college for it because the neighboring town had one. https://simplenursing.com/nursing-school-cost/

Out of curiosity, I looked up housing costs. A home there has increased a lot lately - I'm betting because they started catering to retirees. But a good sized house is about $500k now, on redfin, which is anywhere from $800-1200k in the greater Seattle area. Rough estimate.
