Chamberlain College

[RNG4508]

i would love to hear about anyone's personal experiences with chamberlain college of nursing here in phoenix. what are your reasons for choosing this college, likes & dislikes, pro's & con's

i saw the thread on here talking about students about to enter & getting accepted but now that there are few of you actually in the program i'd like to hear about how it is going and if you'd recommend it to potential students.

also do any of you know how competitve or marketable you are having a bsn through this college (versus a big name college like nau or asu). i'm curious what the job market thinks of this school & was surprised they weren't actually able to provide me with any references of such when i asked

thanks!

Mystyque~ Are you sure you don't work for Chamberlain?

I seen this in another thread when someone was being nice answering questions about a school, they started accusing them of working for the school. Someone can be nice and answer a question or it can go unanswered and I think everyone who is having their questions answered are appreciative. But then when 1 person is answering they start getting accused of working there. Pathetic.

You are being a little sensitive. No one is being "accused" of anything. She is just so very knowledgeable on everything, it's almost like she is behind the scenes. I am very familiar with this poster, and yes she is very informative, it's great! So as far as what I said as being "pathetic"...there are many people in the nursing world that will say things you don't like...I wouldn't take it in such a personal way.

If you are attending Chamberlin are you able to work at least for the first year?

I want to work for the first year at least. Not sure how the schedule is?

Thanks

Funny. Look who is being sensitive. I think in life many people say things you don't like, not just in the "nursing world" and if you would read other post maybe she is so knowledgeable on everything because she GOES to the school. I'm just sick of people being rude. And by the way, I go to school with her and no she does not work there and so what if she did??! You made a comment and I commented back. Take it the way you want, and hopefully not so "personal" this time.

Do anyone know if my classes I am taking at Rio are transferable to Chamberlin? I have a few classes under my belt and would hate to have to take them again.

Yes, classes that apply to the BSN program from an accredited college will transfer over. I personally have a couple AA degrees, so I was able to basically jump right into the nursing program!

Actually, No. I just happened to have my schedule and the Chamberlain calendar sitting right next to me. If you recall, classes started today. So, it would only make sense that I would have my schedule and dates nearby.

Thank you for your compliments. I tend to do tons of research before I jump into anything in my life. That's why I would agree with you stating I am very knowledgeable on everything (at those things I take pride in).

That depends on where you start in the program. During the first "true" year of Chamberlain (assuming you did not have any credits transferred in), yes, you may be able to work. It's when you start the Nursing Fundamentals and Assessment courses that it may be a bit difficult in working while attending Nursing school. I do have a couple classmates that still work, but only part time. I recently went onto Per Diem basis with my company, so I'm not working very many hours at all. Once starting the second year, expect to be reading and studying at least 2-3 hours per day... That may or may not include weekends, depending on how well you absorb and retain information. I wish you the best of luck!

Since no one can tell the tone of a post, I'll pretend I can. I wasn't being rude, but since you didn't see the little joker face I put next to my post, I'll just take it that you read it so fast therefore not realizing how I meant that. I have exchanged info with mystyque many times, and I know she is in school. Hey guess what, I AM in school too. I have thick skin, and your post doesn't ruffle any of MY feathers. LOL I find your posts amusing...but I'm movin on...

I've asked this question on another part of the forum but got no response. Have any of you that have completed the 3 yr BSN program received employment in any Phoenix metro hospitals...? I was curious if these hospitals employ Chamberlain graduates. I have not been able to get a straight answer from advisers at Chamberlain. Thx...

[MystyqueOne, BSN, RN]

Quick and simple answer.... Yes.

It all depends on your ambition as a student.
