who else is in Chamberlain RN-BSN program currently

Oh I see!! So the Nursing classes must be just shy of 32 units! Good to know!!

LOL on the 15 posts.. I was wondering what my problem was!

Have a good day!

Yeah, the nursing courses add up to 24 credits. I'd never had Econ or an upper-level Sociology, so I had to take both of those. That left me 2 credits short, and the only two-credit general ed course is a computer class, so I took that -- it was pretty easy for me, given my former computer-related career combined with nearly 30 years of being a computer geek.

I finished up my RN-to-BSN at Chamberlain in October 2008. I think it was a great school, with mostly great professors, and the material I learned was very valuable. I hated (HATED) the step-by-step research process they taught. It was agonizing and the most boring stuff I have ever learned. The interesting part is that it is the most useful info I learned. I seem to have learned research skills that my colleagues just do not have, even the BSN-prepared RNs. They have been coming to me to research best practices and professional standards ever since (even my boss relies on me for this and to help her revise P&Ps). Boring, but extremely necessary, IMO. The one thing that I really had a hard time with is their requirement for discussion posts by particular days of the week (Wednesday for me). I worked Monday-Thursday, 12-16 hours a day, and it was nearly impossible to read the required material and dig for answers to discussion topics when I was working those days of the week. I just didn't think that should be required in a distance learning program. Give me 7 days to do what needs to be done, and I'll get it done, ya know? Do they still require posts by Wednesday? I always listed that complaint on my end-of-semester evaluation. Best of luck to y'all out there. Chamberlain has a spiffy looking BSN pin, too, when you get finished. I did not actually participate in the graduation ceremony, but I did go to the pinning. I received my diploma via certified mail.

Yep, still have to post by Wednesday. It works well for me as I work Friday-Saturday-Sunday ... I get my posts in early and fade out at the end of the week! LOL

Is the upper level sociology requirement specific to nursing or is it just a upper level..I have a Bachelors in Soc so I have oodles of Upper level credits... The only class I don't have is Economics and I just cant think of anything worse to take....So if you have all classes done is it possible to finish sooner than 3 semesters????

That was the first course I took. If I remember right, there was no text book, just lectures to read. There's a question and answer forum where you can post a question about that just to be sure. You can also email the professor.

Yes, there are several papers due for Soc 350, but I enjoyed the class. I'm taking Algebra (math 092 and math 114) this semester. The courses are self paced, so you can complete the 2 courses in one 8 week semester or less.

I also enjoyed that class. The big paper due at the end wasn't as bad as what I thought it was going to be. I actually enjoyed completing that paper. It is good that we have to complete certain steps first in order to write your paper instead of doing it at 1 time. Its a fun class!!
