Does anyone know anything about Chamberlain College of Nursing? I just got accepted to their BSN program to start this summer. The campus is brand new (Columbus, OH) so they can't be fully accredited until they graduate their first group of students, but they have been around forever and all the other campuses are fully accredited. Anyone know anything about this school?

I am currently completely a BA in psych and then entering an accelerated 15 month BSN program. With transfer credit, I could complete the BSN at Chamberlain in one less semester and I would get to start into my nursing coursework right away which is exciting.

It makes me a bit leery since they are now owned by DeVry which is basically online college. This school does have a campus and they are accredited. A girl I work with just graduated from there and got a job at a major hospital and liked it... (not this campus). I would assume it wouldn't matter too much where you got your degree from as long as it was from an accredited school, but I don't know... So, any information on the school would be appreciated as well as if you guys think I should go for it!!!

Thanks!!

ok, just a warning-I am based out of the St.Louis campus.

I started the online ADN program fall06. It has been a constant nightmare! My graduating class is the last online class to graduate from this program this October. The St.Louis based online program will be discontinued after Oct '08. I do not know what they have done with the stundents who were enrolled after me, it is pretty hush hush. My entire experience with this school has been a roller coaster ride. We never know about our clinicals or classes until the last minute. I have only be there about 2 yrs and have been through 4 advisors-they just keep leaving.
My current situation for the 8 week class I am beginning today-yes, just today is the I recieved an email from my teacher just this morning that our class is at 5pm, not 6pm that I had signed up for-and tomorrow is suppose to be my first OB clinical-and no information has been given. I am not even sure if I have clinical tomorrow.........I would not start their program again if I had the choice. Our accredidation was in limbo at the end of last year, so I went two months without even knowing if I would be able to graduate and sit for my boards-and the worse part is this two months included Christmas! It was HORRIBLE!! Good luck with your decision, but I would be very leary. Deaconess was an amazing school, that is who I signed up with........once Devry took over, too many changes that do not keep the student as the most important factor.
