Nursing Students Chamberlain College

Published

Has anyone attended or is currently attending Chamberlain College of Nursing in Atlanta? If so, how is it? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am currently attending a technical college and have done all of my pre requisites except for the sciences. My gpa is 3.40. I just found out about this school and I am very interested... thanks.

well i was reading through earlier this evening. I am currently in Virginia arlington campus. la_la 81 pathophysiology in nursing is a class by it self. Am starting Adult health 1 in may. On the curriculum grid they scheduled it along with the two main nursing program. Would advice you take it and reschedule fundamentals and health assessment in September. Health assessment and fundamentals alone was a hell for our entire cohort even without the patho. Students that took all three failed patho so in my opinion don"t piled up these three course on you and regret at the end. Pathophysiology is not easy, we concentrate on that only without any heavy loads. Please do not kill your self, these advisors don't know none about the program they only interested in our money and giving out any schedule. Our instructors even advice not to include patho with any NR classes. One F on your transcript then you at stake. I hope this helps, i mean is up to you but nursing students i know takes Patho without combining any two classes.

nanaama I thank you for the advice. I'm not sure if I can make any moves now with it being break, but I will try. I was told during registration that these classes HAD to be taken together! It's all worth a try though, because I don't want to be bombarded, but I fear this will screw up my whole curriculum plan. I'm going to talk to a few people, pray on it, and ,make a sound decision tonight. I really appreciate your input. Helps more than you know!

Just some of the books-not all. I don't fully encourage anyone to strictly do kindle or ebooks. I purchased the hardback nursing books and patho, but general education books I used my kindle or evovle, which is a free ebook that you get with your online portion of the general ed classes. They (ebooks) are generally cheaper though so whatever works for you work it!

You still have time to drop 224 and 302 if you want to do that, but yes it will screw up your curriculum plan. If you do that with every hard class, its gonna take forever lol. It'll probably put you behind a semester. Those classes are corequistes so they have to be taken together, unless you take patho before that. I'm going into adult health and pharm and I know some people that are doing the same with these classes.

It will be a challenging session taking all three, but its not impossible. I didn't take all three together because I transferred enough credits to take patho my first session. I know people that failed and passed. Don't automatically think you're gonna fail. You know your strengths and weaknesses and if you can handle it or not.

Patho was difficult, I'm not gonna lie lol. My whole class struggled through it. It was back in Sept and the school was still working out the kinks with everything. There's only one teacher who's teaching it right now and I hear she is very good. Keep up with the reading and make charts or flashcards to help. Go to CAS if you need help also. They're really good in there.

To me, 224 and 302 wasn't that bad. The material wasn't hard, it was just a lot to learn in a short amount of time. The other thing is that they're are a lot of check offs and skills to learn. You're gonna do foleys, meds, dressing changes, ng tubes, and etc. Go to open lab every chance you get to practice! Also, don't be nervous about checking off in front of an instructor. I know people that failed just because they were nervous about it.

I didn't mean for this to be so long lol, but I hoped it helped. You can pm me if you have other questions.
