First time on website :) question about tuition - Page 2

Call the HR departments of hospitals near you and ask them what their ideal candidate looks like, are BSNs preferred over ADNs? In some areas of the US, ADNs are welcomed with open arms, because there is a lack of BSN prepared nurses. I think you are being very smart to consider the financial obligations so early. Good Luck to you!

Hello,

I'm also interested in this school, but I live in NYC.
Any luck that NYC recognize Chamberlain and I'll a job after graduation.
I need help :/

I plan to eventually move forward with my BSN, however, for the time being, with a toddler and one income coming in ( my husband) I have to start slow. I am going for my associates and once I get a job I will start my schooling for BSN where the job has tuition reimbursement, scholarships, etc. and of course there will be 2 incomes in the home at that point. It will take me a little longer but financially it's what best for our family.

Also I know all areas are different but in my area the school does clinical at one to two places and both offer summer internships between semesters along with almost a guaranteeing of getting hired if you do both the clinical and the summer internship.

As far as student loans go I had two different financial aid counselors tell me, when my daughter was applying to colleges, to never take out more student loans than she can realistically expect to make in one year of working after school. Realistic does not mean planning to get hired into the highest pay scale or planning to work 6, 12 hour shifts a week.
