I have a friend here who looked at EC's nursing program and although she liked it, she found she couldn't do what so many at this site did by testing out of the majority of their degree. Their Nursing Program requires you to take labs and courses through EC, i.e. you can't test out of them. That said, it doesn't look as though this will be any cheaper a route for you.
Both my sister and niece have their RN, and they both did it being married, with kids, and didn't acquire too much debt in the process. You might want to look into Government/State grants; there is a serious shortage of RNs so there is a lot of help available to those wishing to enter this field.
Hope this helps and good luck!
