Anyone starting Chamberlain online BSN in April?

Published

It looks like I'm registered for N351 for Spring B. Anyone else taking the plunge? I'm only taking one course this semester because I have (unless they take it away) tuition reimbursement that will cover the cost while I set the rest of my funds in order.

I'm quite a bit nervous. I keep saying, "what am I doing?". I'm trying to further my education, make myself more marketable (nursing sure is changing) and getting my feet wet in case I do decide to go further. If I was younger I'd go for NP ..... I'd be all over that. Maybe I'll further that education with an MSN Nurse Educator. Maybe I'll decide the BSN is the stopping point. Who the heck knows! I've got experience to beat the band..... but I'm nearing 50 so I'm trying to be realistic.

Good luck to all who are starting in April......perhaps I will be joining you. I talked to my admissions advisor, Dave, about 5 days ago and he is trying to rush my approval through so that I can start classes with the next schedule. He wants me to lock in my residency requirement so that I only have to take the 32 credit hours. I am excited, but anxious. I mean, I was 3 classes away from finishing my RN to BSN at Penn State but had trouble getting my clinical set up. I am anxious to see how many of credit hours transfer. I am hoping a lot will.

So, to all of you who are starting....good luck and congrats. I hope to be joining you very soon, or sooner that I know it. Maybe I will "see" some of you around!!!

Many of my classes transferred, and some of those credits were from the early 90s. :) Hopefully they'll get you all set up! I only had to complete 32 credit hours. 29 down, 3 to go! Woo hooo!

You'll be fine. The classes are actually -- dare I say it? -- fun! :) And interesting. Each one starts, and I'm all like, "Ugh, what is all this stuff, blech, blah blah blah," and then surprise surprise, I learn new things and really enjoy it. :) Most of my classmates have been great, and usually from pretty diverse backgrounds the provide a lot of opportunities to teach each other and learn from each other.

I am also starting Chamberlain next week ( April ). My classes are Transitions and Cultural Diversity. I am a bit nervous about the Cultural Diversity class. I've taken many online courses before, but this one doesn't look interesting or easy. Anyone else in this class in April or anyone taken this class before? Any advice appreciated.
