Chamberlain College of Nursing - Addison

Published

Anyone know anything about this place?

It is 8,000 per semester, and I get it, it is a lot of money but so are all BSN nursing schools. Find one in the Chicagoland area that is cheaper than $24,000 a yr and u get UIC which only excepts 9% of applications.

I graduated from Chamberlain in Feburary, took my NCLEX, passed on the first try, and just received my dream job as a new grad! Chamberlain did its job for me. I couldn't be happier with the program or the people that I met through. The instructors are so supportive as long as you give them what they want in return aka dedication to nursing and the program. If you are willing to put in the work, you will be successful. I also agree with other people's thoughts, get a job in a hospital (ESPECIALLY in the Chicagoland area). Chicago is another market that is full of nurses and not enough jobs for all of them. However, most of the people who got jobs right out of school are the ones who had jobs in a hospital, such as a nursing assistant or extern. I think it's great experience as well. Chamberlain might look expensive, but it is cheaper than Depaul, Loyola, Rush, etc. BSN programs are not cheap, and unfortunately, that is what most hospitals want.

So I have been studying for my HESI entrance exam (which I go tomorrow and take) and am completely nervous!! Chemistry has always been my hardest subject and I am hoping to do well enough and not have to take it again. Is the biology/chemistry part of the test extremely hard??!! This is the only part I am worried about.

I haven't taken it yet either, I go next week, but they did say since you will be taking the sciences at Chamberlain most likely, they are not weighed as heavy as the math, reading comp, vocab, grammar...

I am nervous too tho! Are you testing for the fall program?

I am scheduled to take my HESI test next week. For those that have taken it already, what type of measurement conversion questions are on the test. Are they problem solving like in the study guide or more direct questions- how many milliliters are in a liter? How many conversion questions are there approximately? I am focusing on those, but still need to work on vocab a little better and all of the sciences.

Thanks!

I took the HESI yesterday and the math was not that bad, the only measurement questions I remember was how many centi- mili- or kilo- are in a liter or meter. Ounces in a quart, Centimeters in an inch I would say about a quarter of the questions were conversion mostly metric which in my opinion were very easy.
