Capella or chamberlain?

[quarterlifemess, ADN, RN]

In what context? What exactly are you trying to accomplish at these schools?

[Rntony320]

Been an rn for 6 yrs. Married,3 children, very busy schedule. Im looking to finish my BS and was wondering if anyone had any input/experience with these schools? No experience with online schooling before. I know a few people who completed their BS at chamberlain and i was set on attending but came across capella and now im on the fence. Really like capellas flex path and affordability, but not sure yet. Any info please share. Thank you

There are a ton of way more affordable online RN-BSN programs. There is a forum on this site dedicated to online nursing education, you should check it out.

[Rntony320]

Awesome, ill have to check them out. Thank you

Neither. Check into real brick and mortar schools with good reputations. Many have online options now if you don't have the ability to attend in person.

[Rntony320]

Yes. Would definitely consider brick and mortar school over online. Thank you

These are both for-profit schools.They are expensive but being expensive is not necessarlly a deal breaker.

The real red light is that they both require "arbitration" agreements to be signed as a condition of enrollment.

Any school that requires this should be excluded from the choice list.

Chamberlain, hear tell, is getting rid of their arbitration requirement because it defines them or any school in a bad light.

Reputable public/state schools stand behind their product and generally have respectable graduation and retention rates to prove it that won't relegate you to debt peonage post graduation.

Since you have a family to take care of you must find a school that isn't in business to loan you up.

You can start by going to (collegescorecard.ed.gov) to look up schools.

By the way, the for-profits and others fought long and hard through lobbyists and their paid politicians to suppress this simple informational site.

Sad but true.
