I'm graduating with my BSN from a traditional university and want to find a good online option for my MSN, but I don't want to waste money or time. I'm interested in Chamberlain, but skeptical. Every school seems as though they want you to jump through hoops to apply with exams, interviews, essays, references, etc. Chamberlain seems almost too accomodating and eager to have me. Any advice?
Kimora26 the patho/pharmacology class is for nurse educators, and I have a super professor who makes it "fun" and is very bright. Not bad at all and not like a regular pharmacology or patho class. I was dreading it but it is great so far! I have 3 classes left after these two as I doubled up this term.
Hello, classmate!
I can't tell u about the MSN but I am a BSN student and once felt like u are feeling. I will tell u thus far throughout the process, I have been nothing but satisfied....proud to be a CCN student. Set up a meeting to talk to an advisor in admissions and see what u think.......Sent from my iPad using allnurses.com
I agree I'm a CCN Alumni with my BSN. Great program,very straight forward but theres a lot of work to put into too. You know whats expected, how to do it. Professors were readily available.
I have a question along these lines. I would like to get my NP license for neonatal. Has anyone on this thread done that, or is trying to do that? Do hospitals respect NP's who have graduated from these online courses the same as brick-and-mortar schools? The biggest problem with NNP is that there are very few schools that actually offer this and we don't live near any right now...
Just finished my final class and now have my MSN in Education! I only have good things to say about Chamberlain and had a super experience with great instructors who want you to succeed. Chamberlain just started a nurse residency program for new graduates in the MSN Education track who teach online with a mentor for a year and get paid and get teaching experience. I will be teaching online for Chamberlain starting in May!
great job Woodsyny! I am finishing up my RN to BSN at OU this summer. I am interested in pursuing an MSN education degree so I am starting to research schools. How many years did it take to complete the MSN at chamberlain? Does the program require a written thesis? I am feeling totally burned out from the online OU program but my long term goals to teach are motivating me to keep looking forward to my next degree goal!
Lucy100, first let me say Chamberlain is nothing like OU. I was very pleasantly surprised when I started at Chamberlain. I graduated with my BSN from OU. It took me 2 years and 3 months to finish my MSN, but I did one class at a time. You can do it quicker if you double up.
No thesis at all. I can honestly say that I was very happy with the education program there.
woodsyny, MSN
