Chamberlain

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

Hi, I was just accepted to chamberlain for March 2007. I was wondering if anyone else will be starting then? I was also wondering if any of you who started in october would be willing to share your opinion of the program. Thanks

It was good talking with you Nadja9. Seems there are many, many more of us out there with this dilemma. I would love to hear from anyone that has had problems with being able to set up Chamberlain's clinicals for online students. Is there anyone out there who actually completed them and was allowed to take the state test? Let me hear from you please?

I graduated from the online program in 2005 and had no trouble taking the boards. I live in TN

Thanks for replying rnrae! Did they allow you to do clinicals in Tn? They are withdrawing me from the program because they aren't allowed here.

The hospital I worked in as a Tech allowed me to do my clinicals there. I know someone that did his at Centennial.

Dont' know why they're not allowed anymore. All I can say is that I'm so thankful that I was able to finish the program! Sorry everyone is having such a hard time with Deaconess (Chamberlain).

There are a few others on here, too, that were able to finish.

However, there are many who spent lots of money that could never find clinical placement.

I don't buy this explanation from Chamberlain that because of program changes, they have to reapprove throught each state board. There has to be much more to this story because they've made changes over the last couple of years without incident. And now, they must pull out of EVERY state but 2???? Very interesting.

It sadens me for all students this has affected. I wish you all well. Hang in there!

Hi Hospicetec!

Thanks for sending it! I will get you that itemization list tomorrow - I forgot to grab it this morning like a big dope.

I can't wait to read what they've sent......

Will probably PM you later.

just wondering how all of this has been panning out for the two of you........I am an ASN student, but in MO.........issue now for us is that the state came in a week ago and tons of rumors are going around about credidation............I am really worried, as if stressing about class was not enough...........

First of all, is there any info, other than rumors about the state visit? Although, rumors pretty much nailed it last time, so I'd be interested in 'hearing' what is flying around. PM me if you would prefer....

I don't know if I posted this or not, after last spring term I was incredibly tired of drama surrounding Chamberlain.....so I pretty much logged off... However, this is where I am at.

When I 'made my final decision' about leaving the school after they gave all out of state students the famous ultimatum...I was offered a 'stay of execution' if you will....seems that it was highly possible, based on past experience to complete the program in Indiana. I attempted to verify with the BON, but no one returned my calls, so I decided to push forward...because of the change in curriculum I would have to pretty much start over, and in comparison with my local school where I have several credits, I would be doing the same thing due to the competion being so rough with clinical placements, they only admit students with all A's from gen ed courses to clinicals ( I have a couple of B's)....so I figured that CCN was still my best bet with my families needs, etc.

So I buckled down, got over the fact that I'd be repeating fundamentals and skills in the fall and took my Humanities and yet another Algebra class first session. I am now beginning Chemistry with Devry for second session.

I decided that close to 5 months had gone by since they announced the problem, and I'd better follow up to make sure that final approval had been reached before I sink another $400 + in books and skills kit and gads of time into Fundamentals, only to find out by the beginning of 'clinical' semester I was out of luck again.

No responses to my very point blank question regarding if all is a go or not....I wonder if it's the State visit?

(any Indiana students reading this thread that would like to share?) any one else have a gut wrenching feeling as you watch little dollars signs and clocks fly out the window?

I have reached the conclusion that I have "I am an idiot....please take advantage of not only myself, but my family too" scrolled across my forehead.

Kris, something to think about when the state was here-they sat down with students and asked about our questions/concerns. One concern was about our current teacher who keeps telling us if we fail this class we start all over due to a new cirriculum. The state said they cannot force us to take the same class over that we have already passed with them..........she even went on to say most likely if we are paying by loans, a loan program will not pay for the same class at the same school-translation they need to put you in to the best fit without asking you to retake a class you have already passed.

This is very interesting! Yeah I passed Fundamentals with a solid B, while at the time I felt that they needed to make many changes to the delivery of nursing type classes, I passed.....if I am 'allowed' to continue I think I should take the first nursing clinical course in the fall....I wonder who my advisor is now....I think I need to have a meeting.....
