Hello everyone! I have just been accepted into Chamberlain college of nursing and i start on July 7th. Is any one here attending or applying? Also, the program in a bsn but it is 60,000! Any ideas on scholarships or grants in Illinois. I can not receive any private grants because my credit is not great ( three kids and lots of medical bills ) and I do not have enough in federal loans. Let me know! Thanks

Are you going on campus or on line. I am currently in the online RN to BSN program? I am almost finished with my 4th class. It is pricey.

I will be going on campus. I am just so happy i did not think i would be accepted. How do you like it?

I have really enjoyed the online program. At first I was not so sure, because I had never done online. But it is working for me. I have two kids and try to do most of my work when they are at school. Now summer is here and we are all home, so it is a bit more challenging. I have found Chamberlain easy to work with and they are always pleasant when I talk to them on the phone.

I just keep thinking that each class gets me that much closer to my BSN. That is good incentive. Hang in there and don't give up.

Yes, the school is not inexpensive, but for me it was worth it to receive lots of credit. I only have 10 classes to take. I will be finished in one more year, 6 classes to go. The other school I was considering would have taken me at least 1 1/2 years to take my pre reqs before starting the nursing classes. So, in the end the cost is not that much more.
