  1. Just wanted to leave my thoughts about Chamberlain. I graduated from the Houston campus. I think it is a great school even though it is pricey. The last time I checked the price is actually about the same as attending HBU or St. Thomas but I know man...
  2. Elsevier CAT exam

    Our school has graduating students take the CAT exam offered by Elsevier as well as the exit HESI. I've taken (and passed) the beast that is the exit HESI but can anyone tell me what the CAT exam is like... I know it's supposed to mimic the NCLEX.. A...

  4. Chamberlain Houston Campus

    Sorry I haven't been back to respond. I've been focused on graduation and my exit HESI (which I passed on the first try with a 1087:singing:)... But to the OP, where do you see that I am sponsored by Chamberlain? Please let me know so that I can coll...
  5. To add to that.. Chamberlain is not an online program. Their BSN program is conducted in a building with all the bells and whistles (if not more) that "traditional" programs have.
  6. Thanks PrismRN.. I just made this exact same argument to another narrow-minded individual who did not do their research. Just spouted off their unfounded opinion.
  7. Chamberlain Houston Campus

    Not to go tit-for-tat but Chamberlain is not the only program that accepts GPAs lower than a 3.0. I know a RN that was accepted to UTMB with a less than stellar GPA as well and she is an exceptional nurse. Nursing programs look at more than just GPA....
  8. Chamberlain Houston Campus

    As a graduating student of Chamberlain, I have to say that your information is inaccurate. Chamberlain is not an online program. Secondly, every school has a minimum GPA requirement of 2.5 or 2.75 and that's just it, a minimum requirement. Chamberlai...
  9. Chamberlain Graduates

    Chamberlain has full accreditation from the CCNE and is approved by the Texas BON. The NCLEX pass rate is one of the best in the state and I haven't heard of anyone having problems getting a job. Many of us are working at major hospitals as techs or ...
  10. New to chamberlain

    Also, the course shell will not open until the week before the class starts. So May 5th start dates won't open until next Sunday. As far as the e-book goes, it is in the course shell and you won't be able to access it until the shell opens next week....
  11. Class Schedules at Chamberlain

    I have worked the entire program and so have other classmates of mine. It really just depends on your company and if they are willing to work with your schedule.
  12. Class Schedules at Chamberlain

    Eh I disagree. I think it depends on the campus. At the Houston campus, the first semester of upper level courses (Patho, Health Assessment, Fundamentals) you are on campus/clnical 4-5 days a week. The first half of the semester: M/W-Fundamentals lec...
  13. HESI Fundamentals

    I've heard that NCLEX 3500 is free to download. Google it. It's one edition older than NCLEX 4000 and should have the same content.
  14. Also you may not be able to legally work as a tech once you get your GN permit.
  15. Just my two cents.. We were told that the exam didn't necessarily get harder.. The passing standard was raised meaning that the grade needed to pass is higher essentially. For example, if your nursing school changed from 76% considered passing to now...
