Hi everyone!

I am applying for Chamberlain, hopefully beginning in February 2012! I have a few questions/concerns--maybe someone could help me??

I've been to 3 different colleges before--my cumulative GPA is a 3.3 from all 3 schools. More recently, I've gone back to my community college to take some pre-reqs for nursing (AP1, chemistry, etc) and have gotten A's in those. Today, I took my HESI A2 exam and got a 77% on it :crying2: I know that's considered passing--but the score isn't very impressive and my GPA is only so-so. Do I even have a shot here??

I got a 90% on the grammar, 86% math, 85% reading, 78% vocab, 72% in AP & chem, but a freaking 60 on my bio! :crying2: I felt like I studied pretty hard for the test...so I'm really nervous that my 77% isn't going to cut it, or that if I take it again I won't do much better.

I keep reading on the forums that people get in the high 80s or low 90s...what do you guys think?? My advisor is out of town until monday so I will talk to him and see what he thinks. Please let me know~! :)

Anyone who have taken NR222, do we have to wear uniforms for that class? if so, are they providing it or we ourselves have to purchase it outside school? Also, what kind of books do we need for that class? There is only one more week till school starts and they haven't told us where to get our books.

Peanutbutter, you do not wear your scrubs to NR 222. There is no clinical or lab for this class. You have to purchase the scrubs but you won't need them till you start the following semester. You can get scrubs online from the website that Chamberlain provided. It has to be the scrubs that they chose. You can also go to the book store and buy them from there. Books are sold in the book store. All you have to do is go in there with your schedule, hand it to the worker, and they will get all the books for you. If you want to order them for cheaper somewhere else the books are online, so you can see which ones you need.

Thank You littleone77 and chamberlainedu for the info! Also one more question, do I need to have a CNA Certificate to start clinicals?

Pamski,

Still no word yet?? I just took the HESI yesterday....if you don't mind me asking, what is your GPA? I'm trying to decide if I want to retake or not.

THANKS! Best of luck!

Peanutbutter, no you do not. You don't need your cna certificate to do clinicals in a bachelors program.

I was wondering if anyone was told when the acceptance letters for the Spring 2012 semester will be sent out? I have not yet applied, I will do so Saturday and also take the HESI exam that day. I have a 3.1 gpa. At my current college where I completed many science courses I have a 3.4, but my gpa was brought down by my first attempt at college a few years ago at a different school. I was just wondering if anyone else has a similar gpa and feels like they have a good chance at getting in.

5m0wen,

my GPA is a 3.2. I actually just got my phone call today that I was accepted for spring!! Woot! I actually got a letter first before they even called me. How did you do on your HESI?

5m0wen5 · Nov 10, 2011

I got a 92 on my HESI - still waiting to hear from Chamberlain as to whether I got in or not. How many days before you got the call did you get your letter?

CONGRATS ON BEING ACCEPTED!!!! )

Thank you! Psh, I don't think you should re take it at all! That is a great score. I got an email sent from some e mail dress with a subject of, "pre-enrollment eligibility". With a tracking number. I got my letter, then two days after I got a phone call.
