Chamberlain - Advice?

U.S.A. Missouri

Published

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a nursing program that's pretty easy to get into, without a long wait in the St Louis area. I don't want to sacrifice a good education or possibly ruining future jobs prospects though. I've read through a lot of the posts about Chamberlain and I'm having mixed feelings. Can any current students and/or people in the admission process tell me more about the school and their experience with it so far?

Also - from the site it says

A minimum ACT composite score of 21, minimum SAT critical reading and mathematics reasoning (CR-M) score of 990, or minimum A2 Admission Assessment score of 75.

I have not taken the ACT/SAT, does this mean I would only have to take the A2?

JustDeena- thank you for responding back :)..Come to find out the reason i couldnt get ahold of my advisor was because he no longer works for chamberlain..haha..but good luck on your hesi..and i got accepted for the summer

I am currently attending Applied Tech for the LPN program which is located in Wellston and also South County Tech and graduate in a few months you should not rule out doing a LPN program and bridging to RN. I would be afraid of Chamberlain's rate graduates who can pass their boards.

Check out this website http://pr.mo.gov/boards/nursing/passrates.pdf and not to brag but my WHOLE CLASS just passed the HESE exam which is harder than the NCLEX-PN. Just a warning.

They must be doing something wrong for only 75% or less of their grads to pass state boards! Applied Technology is at the top of this list not only because they start with an A but check the pass rate of boards for yourself!

Actually you should have read the pass rates a little further down. That pass rate is for the old ADN program that the STL campus no longer offers. The pass rate for the BSN program is much higher. :) I did my research before deciding to apply. I got to spend a little time at Chamberlain today getting a tour and such since I was early for my HESI (Which I passed!) And the entire staff was very friendly and welcoming... that in my eyes is a good sign!

According to my advisor they will be having the next review session on Monday and I will know that day! I would assume it is the same for you assuming you have all your other paperwork done!

It really is nice, small and nice! A really nice lounge area which was important for me since I will be commuting from IL. My advisor gave me a tour while I was there, and I was impressed!

Oh my gosh you guys the people that rep Chamberlain are amazing. Especially one lady. I applied after she talked to me for a while in the beginning of Feb and took the test, wrote the essays, and letters. I found out a week later that I have been accepted for the July class of this year! YAY. I also work at St Anthonys and alot of our directors of ED, PEDS, CCU, all graduated from Chamberlain and loved it!

GO FOR IT EVERYBODY.

I as well last year looked into Applied Tech the LPN based program, but it all got very fishy. There was alot of unprofessionalism.:monkeydance:

Are there any current STL campus students available on here?

I start Chamberlain in July and would like to talk to some current students in the program so I can know what to expect when I start classes!

thank you!

i was wondering if you felt as though the nursing classes prepared you for you clinicals and if you feel as though your clinical experiences have been valuable? in addition, have you been to a wide variety of clinical sites?

did you get the opportunity to do any of the community health "mission trips"?

i'm so excited to start in july, i'm not sure what to expect.

were you able to work at all while taking classes?
