Chamberlain Admission Info

[starmickey03, MSN, RN]

I graduate in May with a bachelors in Health Studies from Michigan State. But my dream career is to become a nurse so I recently have been doing some research and came across Chamberlain. So I want to know how their admissions process is. Is it really hard to get into? And I also see that the ACT score is a factor in the admissions process. Does anyone know if the ACT is required, cause I never took it. I went to a community college first for a year then transferred and test scores arent needed to go to community colleges. I just want to know about the competitiveness because it was pretty much impossible for me to get accepted at MSU to the nursing school. Every year over 4,000 people apply and they only accept 60 , so yeah thats like extreme competitiveness.

So basically I would like to know how hard it is to get in?

I was interested in going there too. It is a private school but I believe it is one of those schools that will take anyone. I wanted to do there BSN program until I discovered it was $7000 a semester

Yea I know its expensive. I have all of the pre reqs done already since I have a bachelors of science. But i just want to do the ADN and then do the RN to MSN somewhere else. Kaplan has a program where you go straight to a masters degree, the bsn is built into the program. Im at the point now though where Im just tired of the waiting lists and the impossible factor of getting into some of these programs, so money isnt as big of an issue as it should be to me right now

You should give'em a call. I'm also really tired of school too. I decided to change my major halfway through business school so I feel like I have been in school forever. I live in Jacksonville so we only have the BSN program here. Im trying to decided if I should just get my LPN and do the LPN to RN bridge so I can skip the waiting lists

[starmickey03, MSN, RN]

I was thinking of doing the LPN bridge too but in MI the waiting lists to be LPNs are as long and sometimes longer than the lists to do RN. I contacted some of the technical schools for their LPN programs and the prices ranged from $13,000 to $32,000 which is not worth it to me just to get a certificate and not a degree. Im just going to start looking outside of my area into different states and if I can get accepted somewhere that costs $300 per credit hour, Ill take that as a deal. I paid more than that for undergrad so at this point Ill take whatever I can get
