Only 25000!? That's not bad! I didn't really look at the DNP info. I just figured since the BSN program is a whopping 86000 that it would be alot. Idk about at chamberlain, but doing all of my pre reqs I took mostly online classes and really enjoyed...
As far as anyone who knows anything about the DNP program, I would love to hear your feed back as well. IMO, chamberlain is a great school despite what some people may say. The facility is state of the art and seems like it will take learning to the...
Chamberlain is pricey.. If you aren't transferring any credits especially. As far as transferring credits from chamberlain to other schools.. The credits in fact do transfer. I've checked into other Houston schools including Texas womens, UTHSC, and ...

There are many nursing schools with great programs in Houston. University of Houston only has a nursing program at the Victoria campus if I'm not mistaken, which is not actually in Houston at all. There is Texas womens university, UT health science c...
I was in your shoes when I got my first PCA (CNA) job. Straight out of my CNA class, and a pre-nursing student. All of my clinicals were at nursing homes as well. My first job was at a hospital on med/surg and honestly it wasn't much different. I lik...

Wow thanks for all of the feedback! I appreciate everyone's advice. I've been thinking about this constantly and decided to choose BSN because the difference in price doesn't really matter since I will be bridging anyways and eventually getting my ma...

I wouldn't say there is a shortage in rural Texas (outskirts of Houston: baytown, kingwood, Pasadena, liberty, etc) but nursing homes in these parts are AlWAYS hiring, LVN, ADN, anything. HCA hospitals are new grad ADN friendly, as well as cornerst...
When I got my CNA job at a hospital it helped me that I was a nursing student and they also hired several other nursing students at the same time. When I went to full time student, the made me PRN and it worked out perfectly. I would suggest applying...
That is true. I think I'm going to. I just do not want to be broke trying to pay student loans. Oh well, it could be worse! There are schools around Houston that 80000 +
The job I have lined up could be an lvn or RN. I would much rather go straight for BSN, but that's so much money. I'm really terrified of a loan. If I did go the lvn route, I would bridge as soon as I graduated. Idk I'm just so up and down about it....
