   athomas2244 replied to mikko.ringor's topic in Chamberlain College

   I am sorry you had such a bad experience with Chamberlain. There has definitely been talks about the subpar practicum coordinators. Fortunately I have not had this issue, but I have had several classmates that have

5. Chamberlain College of Nursing-FNP...accepted!!!

   athomas2244 replied to BeeGeeRN's topic in NP Students

   So working full time nights is perfectly doable as I did this throughout my entire pregnancy. I am in clinical now and I still work full time nights. 500 has to be taken alone, then I would do policy and theory, research and informatics, and then l...

   athomas2244 replied to Nursemags's topic in NP Students

   Chamberlain just graduated the first FNP class this past August and so far everyone I know of has passed boards. The classes are pretty straight forward with discussion posts being the bread and butter of the grade. I will begin my first clinical c...

8. Chsmberlain NP program versus other programs

   athomas2244 replied to Nursemags's topic in NP Students

   The first course must be taken alone, then you can double for the next 3 sessions cutting 6 months off of the program...this is what I did. I did this while also working full time nights. I am currently still working full time nights and will conti...

    Hey there! I just successfully completed Immersion Weekend this past weekend (8/21-8/23). The first day is Friday, and no class work...this is considered a travel day where all students come to the site and check in hotels...etc. Day 2 is Saturday, ...

13. Need negotiating advice!

    athomas2244 replied to athomas2244's topic in NP

    Thanks everyone for the insight! I was leaning towards inpatient myself, because I dread a 5 day M-F job....but I also dread still working weekends (even though it's only 1 per month). The reason I was asking to include my credentials in my negotia...

    athomas2244 replied to RNLucille's topic in NP Students

    Hey there! When I began the program I just found out I was preggo! I continued through my pregnancy, doubling up 3 times, and taking 507 and 508 alone (patho and pharm). Although I did not double these classes together, this is what I'd suggest, 5...
