I just graduated from Chamberlain Feb 24th with my FNP. I really liked the class format and the online learning. I passed my ANCC boards 3 weeks later. The entire last course is focused on passing not only the final exam for the class, which is based...

I just finished advanced patho and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I ended up with a 96% in the class. I actually enjoyed the class, even though it was a LOT of work. I am in my first week of pharm and find it similar.
Hi NV-RN, I had a hard time with Epidemiology. I had a 4.0 GPA until I took that class! lol. But, they are doable together. I work full time (40+hours) and there is a lot of writing papers in both classes. Depends on how much time you have I guess. I...
I am currently in the FNP program at Chamberlain and I love it. I chose Chamberlain because I wanted 100% online and the cost was much cheaper than the local college choices. ( I live in NH). Chamberlain does assist you in finding a preceptor. I am i...
In NH, you can sit for the LPN boards if you have finished 600 hours of nursing school, including clinical. You must have finished Fundementals of nursing, Med-Surge, and Parent-child health also. I will graduate in May of 2013 with my BSN, but I am ...

Actually, MunoRN... I haven't even graduated yet. I will graduate with my BSN in May of 2013 from a University in New England. So, no, the good ol' days are not gone, you just have to look around.

I go to a University in New England and I've never heard of a cost that high. For those who want to go to a private school and pay $90K... I wonder if their education was worth the extra $65k. Dartmouth-Hitchcock hospital (near Dartmouth College), a...

I went back to school at 42. I also have a family, house, kids, and bills. I am in my last year of a BSN program and have worked 35-40 hours the entire time and still am able to make the Dean's list every semeseter. Paying down bills before hand? Im...
At my 4 year Universtiy we get charged around $250. a semester for ATI. So far it's not helping me, but we'll see. I'm in the second half of my junior year.
I always get really tired the last two weeks of the semester. I just study what I can and do it and I've been fine so far. Good luck with next semester. We only get one week off and we begin second semester!
I agree with illsince83. gpa is important. And for somebody else who had asked, the grading scale (for the nursing courses only) at my University is tougher. A 96-100 is an A. A 90 to 95 is an A-. I have always been an A student throughout my pre-req...
I'm in my second semester of a BSN program. If we had a C in any nursing class, we would be OUT. We can't get below a 79 (B-). We also have to take a med calculation test the second week of every semester and pass it with a 95%, or we are OUT. We get...

I got a B- in both A&P 1 and 2 and I'm an A student in the nursing courses. In my opinion, A&P are much harder than the nursing courses are. I'm in a BSN program and also working 30 hours a week, with a family! You can do it.
