Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

Hello!! I just joined this site today because I was recently accepted into Chamberlain College of Nursing, I am scheduled to begin classes on March 1st and I was wondering if anyone else is going to Chamberlain and also if anyone has heard anything (good or bad) about this school. I am very excited to start and I think that the most appealing thing about this school is that there isn't a wait list... I applied in August, was accepted in October and I am beginning in March. It is quite expensive but I think (or at least hope) that it is worth it. Also instead of doing the ADN, I have decided to do the BSN, any comments?? Advice?

I am so happy for everyone who got in and those who had graduated or will be. I have just recently apply to CCN and hoping to get in July if its not too late. I have a question I wanted to ask those of you who are currently going to CCN if anyone knows a safe and affordable apartment that is close by the college that you would recommend. I have been doing my research but it doesn't beat actually being there and touring the places. Anything will be appreciated :) I really hope to get in so I am very excited.

Hi i have a question someone can possibly answer for me. I am about to start the class Nr-222 will I need to start wearing scrubs for that class? If not, when will we have to start wearing scrubs? I know people say you start wearing scrubs when clinical start. What exactly is the first class that incorporates clinicals.

Hello,

You only wear scrubs during clinical days, never for class days. The only exception is if you have a clinical orientation on campus in which you must wear your scrubs. Don't worry, they will inform you all on what to do. Good luck!

okay thank you!! Another question if i may ask. I know how chamberlain is pretty strict saying if you don't get an average of 76 on All pre-licensure nursing courses you can't pass the class. What is considered pre-licensure courses? Is microbiology considered pre-licensure course or is it the main nursing courses that they are talking about. Ex. nur-222, nur-224 etc.

Thank you

Thank you

all classes that begin with NR require a 76% TEST average. That means that your other assignments, assuming all is done well, will actually bring your final grade up. But, you must get at least a 76% test average before your other assignments count. So, no, the microbiology course is not under the same guidelines.

Good luck as you will do just fine, especially because you are seeking out information.

Thank you for your quick reply. I was stressing for a minute but all is well.

Thanks again

Hello All,

Just wanted to see how everyone is liking Chamberlain so far? I applied for the July start date, and keeping my fingers crossed :). Any information is much appreciated! Thank you! :)

Hi,

Wow...I am pumped up about CCN after reading the posts. I am going into turn in application and take HESI exam today. I have a BS and has taken the TEAS. I have my fingers crossed for CCN July 2011 too. Does anyone know a good apartment around there to recommend? I am planning to go look around at apartment complexes unless there's someone out there looking for a roommate. I'm neat and easygoing =D

Hi, I have a question and would greatly appreciate if someone can he'll answer. I will be taking my HESI A2 in the next few days; my advisor said that there will be questions on Chemistry, Physiology, and Anatomy as well. Will these be hard questions or basic ones? What parts should I focus more on? I am feeling more stress now that I am getting closer to my exam date. Will really appreciate if someone who has already pass or taken the exam can give me some answers. Thanks! :)

I have a question about the clinical kit Chamberlain wants us to buy. The SuiteStyles website used to tell you in detail what was in the "student clinical kit", but according to the clinical coordinator they hid the contents to keep students from making their own kits (and saving money). The kit is $55 and I was told we only need it for NR224..

my question is what do students do with their kits after NR224? If it's something we use after NR224 I'll consider shelling out the 55 bucks. But if someone could tell me what is included I'd like to price out my own kit cuz I'm cheap lol :)

Thanks!

i did purchase the clinical kit almost two years ago and to be honest, i only used three items from the kit. i put (used) next to the item below, stating i used it during simulations. i still have the bag sitting in my closet. oh well, at least i have a cool chamberlain zip bag i can use as a school/work bag for my books.

keep in mind that i started chamberlain about two years ago, so a lot of things have changed, therefore, you may be required to use more items from the kit then i did. in addition, it's also good to have these items yourself for extra practice now that the school has extra hours available for more simulation practice.

the following items are in the kit: (in no particular order) (items may be different as this kit was from 2009)

*tracheostomy clean and care tray (used)

*argyle salem sump

*suction catheter kit (used)

*foley catheter (don't have the exact name as label was removed) (used)

*irrigation tray with 60 ml piston syringe

*dressing tray

*wound care tray

*transfer/gait belt

*continu-flo solution set

*suture removal tray

*basic cleansing enema bag

*gauze sponges usp type vii gauze

you are very welcome.

Thanks Mysty! I remember seeing the majority of those items from the site when they had the kit contents listed just a few months ago, thanks again for looking :)
