Anyone know anything about this place?

Hi Ocean17, are you still waiting for a call? I am:banghead:

Hello Erod09, any good news from Chamberlain ? :typing

I declined their offer and chose a different BSN program, so hopefully that will open up a spot for someone else. Good luck.

Hello jlsnaper, may I ask which school did you choose? I just started doing my research on what is out there. any suggestions ?

Yesrerday I took NLN exam at community college, the science portion was really tough. I think I got the form of NLN with really tough science part, there are different NLN forms, so every one gets a different one on exam. Hesi was soooo much easier.

Hi, ocean17. I chose the University of St. Francis in Joliet for several reasons. It is a four-year university as opposed to a nursing college, so felt there would be a better chance of having people around my age (20). Also, they have offered me $$$$$$$$$. It also has very high rankings. Additionally, I have talked to two former students who not only felt their college experience was great but now that they are out in the nursing field, feel they were very well prepared. My admissions advisor has been very helpful. She even suggested taking some classes at different schools to save additional money. They also accepted more of my classes from the University of Iowa. Chamberlain was pretty lame on that. Didn't want to spend the money or time retaking classes. It's hard to recommend what would be best for you, not knowing your history, age, etc. I feel that although Chamberlain is a good school, they are also a business and need to make money. University of St. Francis is a four-year educational institution, offering a variety of degree programs. It also has offers an automatic tuition reduction depending on your GPA. Really nothing negative about anyplace else, this just felt like a better fit for me. Hope I'm right.

Question- How tough is Chamberlain on the GPA requirement? I already got my Bachelors in Biology and hope that helps.

Is the fundamentals semester the second year? Thanks!

I just came across Chamberlain College of Nursing and didn't know there's one in Addison. I am currently taking my prerequisites at ECC to get into their Nursing program. So did I read it right that there is no requirement to get into Chamberlain as long as my gpa is 2.75+ and pass their standard test? I have a year left on my prerequisites and then there's two years of Nursing program- that is if I get into ECC Nursing program. I wouldn't mind giving up ECC for the 3 yrs at Chamberlain with BSN instead of ADN at ECC or would it be better if I finished all my prereq before I apply for Chamberlain?

Vixgirl - Yes, the fundamentals semester is considered second year. You will have fundamentals, pathophys, and health assessment.

Katacake - That is correct, there is no requirement to get into Chamberlain. However, GPA is not the only thing that they base their decisions off of. They look at your high school classes, ACT scores, essays, college courses, and HESI exam. I would definitely recommend taking the majority of your prereqs at ECC. Save yourself the money! But I would talk to an advisor because many girls are stuck being part time because they finished their prereqs already, so if it's an insurance issue, I wouldn't recommend taking them at ECC. Like I said, talk to an advisor, they can tell you what's best, and then you can decide what's best for you. The BSN is definitely a better route these days I think. I recommend Chamberlain. I am starting Adult Health 2 this week, and believe me, it's not easy. A lot of people got that wake up call during Adult Health 1, but if you are willing to put in the work, you will succeed. It's like any other nursing program, you will have to make sacrifices. I enjoy it there and I am definitely glad I made the decision to go there. They really want you to succeed, and they will do what it takes to help you get there as long as you want to.

Do you know how long the program is?
