   Hello Kmichalak, I'm here in Phoenix and about to graduate from a different program.From what I've seen and heard the Chamberlain program isn't all that highly regarded out here. While there are expensive schools for nursing, Chamberlain seems to be...

   transplantlife replied to NurseEric81's topic in Male Students

   also consider private universities. I attend a small Christian one in AZ and while the cost can be a bit higher than the state school, if you have better than a 3.3 you're pretty competitive, whereas at ASU a 3.9 is min for competitive, plus having ...

    transplantlife replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Lost, As an organ recipient myself (heart), I'd have to disagree that it's only about making money. Because we're in a capitalistic society there is of course a monetary aspect, and a large one at that, attached to the issue. However, I'd submit...

14. Should I apply as a nurse even though I've yet to be licensed?

    transplantlife replied to mmm cdiff's topic in General Nursing

    Heck yes I'd apply! I'm only the second half of my first semester but these things can take some time and it would be my guess that if you apply, by the time they interview you, get everything all tidied up and everything else you should be very ver...
