I start Chamberlain FNP program January 6. I'm excited but a little worried I'm doing this alone. I live in Wisconsin and will be doing this online and working full time. Looking to reach out to fellow students who have applied or will be attending this college.

I have been going to Chamberlain working on my BSN which has been nice (just expensive) I would also like to know about the FNP program they have

I've researched other programs and this was not expensive for an FNP program. I just wish I had more input on what to expect!!

Go with it Bronze1 I am loving this program. It took me a little to get use to the pace and deadlines, but I love the 8 week classes. I am enjoying the learning and I have teamed up with a few people on FB and talk about the classes and assignments. Good luck!!!!

Hello kpnurse!-I hope you got off to a good start at Chamberlin! I am in the process of applying to the FNP online program. I was wondering if you were aware of the pass rate of students on the certification exam. Do you know how successful Chamberlin graduates are with finding jobs? I am a little concerned since it is an online program. Have you heard about this being a problem in the past?

Hello,

I started the FNP program in Jan 2014. I have not had any problems. I enjoy the 8 week sessions and the flexibility. The pass rate I don't believe has been stated because it is a new program as of 2013. I think as the years go on the importance of an FNP is going to be crucial. I don't fear finding a job with any school I attend because of the need. I live in Wisconsin and have heard no one having any issues here. I am really happy that I chose Chamberlain, (I was worried, just like you). I have a year an a half left. I have peers that have doubled up on their courses and have decreased the timeWe do have a group on FB for FNPs, I have a small group in in contact with and we are able to converse continuously. In my group we have people who have just started to people who have begun their clinicals. The instructors are good. I have had one course where I couldn't get a hold of the instructor but that was because she had a death in the family. Their all very helpful and responsive. You can always ask questions on the board to the instructors or peers. Love, love, love not being in a class with people and scheduled. I can to this on my time. I hope this answers your questions. Feel free to contact me again. Good luck!

I started July 2014. Going out n my 4th class. I love it so far. Better than any of the other 3 colleges I've been to.

I started July 2014 as well in the FNP program and I love it! I am starting classes 6&7 in Jan. The program hasn't graduated a class yet it is still fairly new but I have heard really nothing but positive remarks so far. I like the course setup and the instructors are helpful. I have heard for some the most difficult part is finding a preceptor. If you do decide to go with the program start working on securing a preceptor early so you don't delay your process. Good luck!

Hello,

yes still happy with the Chamberlain program. Things I can tell you are, I enjoy the 8 week sessions, you can take. 1 or 2 classes for you basic courses, every instructor is different - some are very attentive and some don't say much. Some instructors are APA enforced, some are very laid back, some just read your posts and papers to make sure you understand. I'm entering into Pharm this session and start clinicals this fall. Time is going by soooo quick! Hope this helps. Any other questions please ask. KP
