I will be entering Chamberlain's BSN program (not the RN-BSN) in 2017 and am trying to get the full picture of how registering for the classes works. I will have completed almost all non-nursing courses with the exception of the following:
Culture & Society
Intro to Chem
Critical Reasoning
Public Speaking
Statistics
I plan to complete Chem, statistics and public speaking at GTC before transferring.
So I will probably be starting there officially by Fall 2017. That being said, I have already been in another program that I left for personal reasons, and figure that there must be some kind of logical order in which at least some of the nursing courses are completed. But which ones can I take at whatever semester or session I prefer? I am about 40 minutes away from the campus, so I am trying to take courses in a similar order to that of GTC. I have a family member who will be starting there at the same time, so covering the same major courses, such as fundamentals, pharm, adult health 1 & 2, Peds/OB, and adult health 3 and transitions, would make good sense to do together so we can study together close by home. I will have extra courses that are seperated such as fundamental skills, assessment 1 & 2, and fundamentals pt care, but that is all covered in GTC's fundamentals class as a whole for 16 weeks rather than 2 sessions each being 8 weeks.
My hopes were to take the classes as described below:
Fall 2017 Spring 2018
-assessment 1 -adult health 1
-fundamental skills -health & wellness
-pharmacology -adult health 2
-assessment 2 -nutrition, health & wellness
-fundamental pt care
Summer 2018 Fall 2018
-Culture & Society -Pediatrics
-Mental Health Nursing -Transitions into the Nursing Profession
-Critical Reasoning -Obstetric Nursing
-Information Systems in HC -Evidence Based Practice
Spring 2019 Summer 2019
-Adult health 3 -Pathophysiology
-Ethics -Collaborative Healthcare
-Community Health -Capstone Course
I am open to moving some around (not that it will be my choice if it's set in stone by the school ^^).
I just wanted to understand what flexibility I have to work with.
Thank you for reading through all this, and any help will be greatly appreciated!
Sorry but I didn't quite understand the tuition part. What do you mean put it on my credit card? And who puts 5 k down per yr? Where does that come from?
The "trifecta" is no more! it was funds1, patho and heath assessment1. Apparently it was pretty heavy. I transferred Patho in so I just had funds 1 and Health Assessment 1 together.
the specialty courses can sometimes get switched around, this has happened in my case and many others. I took peds before maternal-baby, others are doing mental health while I do evidence based practice, it can vary from student to student and campus to campus.
Ahhh I see. How can I see if classes what I have yet to take at GTC transfer? Can they look at classes you will take at a different place so you don't waste time or money on non-transferable courses? They have pathophysiology but on the sample curriculum it is considered an actual nursing course. My advisor said it's safe to say that won't transfer in from GTC. but then again, he isnt one of the ppl who does the transfer evaluation, so I will ask further when I actually do an official evaluation.

They can have the course reviewed for you ahead of time, you have to provide them with the syllabus for the course. And in order to transfer as credit the course must be taken before you start there.
Hello there! Do you know if Philosophy Symbolic Logic (Phil 2303) or Introduction to Philosophy (Phil 2301) the same as Phil-347N Critical Reasoning at Chamberlain? I really want to take my philosophy courses at my community college, which I start school in two weeks. I plan to apply at Chamberlain for Spring 2018 and these are the only class I am not sure about.

Hey,
Sorry but I didn't quite understand the tuition part. What do you mean put it on my credit card? And who puts 5 k down per yr? Where does that come from?
Thanks for the info!
