I recently interviewed with a recruiter for a PCT position at Fresenius. He told me I would need to be available and flexible Monday–Saturday.
I explained that I’m in nursing school and have classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I’m completely open to any shift on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
When I asked if I basically needed open availability all 6 days for whatever shift they might schedule me, he said yes.
For anyone who works or has worked at Fresenius, is this the case at all locations? Or does it depend on the clinic/manager? Are some locations more flexible with nursing students who have two set class days?

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming UIC Graduate Entry MSN student for Fall 2026 and I’m trying to understand the actual cost of the program, especially as an out-of-state student.
My financial aid/COA estimate was based on Fall and Spring, and I recently found out from Financial Aid that **summer is NOT included in that COA**, even though summer courses are a required part of the program. They told me that once I register for 5+ summer credits, they manually calculate a separate summer COA and that I would need an additional loan if I want to finance summer.
Based on the number of summer credits required, this could potentially add another **$30–40k across the two summers** on top of what I originally thought I would need for tuition, which honestly caught me off guard.
For any current or former GEM students, especially anyone who was out-of-state: **How much did your summer semesters actually cost? And approximately how much did you end up paying in tuition and fees for the entire program?**
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through it because I’m trying to get a realistic picture of the total program cost.
