Has anyone attended or is currently attending Chamberlain College of Nursing in Atlanta? If so, how is it? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am currently attending a technical college and have done all of my pre requisites except for the sciences. My gpa is 3.40. I just found out about this school and I am very interested... thanks.

Ok Thanks So Much!

Hello ladies. Reading through this thread has really motivated me and I am so happy for all of you!!! I'm currently a student at GPC and I've been waiting to apply to Chamberlain Atlanta for a while now. My gpa is currently a 2.68 due to a lot of things that have happened to me recently (divorce, child custody issues :/ ) I haven't been able to get higher than B's and C's in the Biology courses. I did not want to take a break from school during all the personal stuff and I guess that made things worse for me in terms of school.

Does anyone have any advice as to whether I should re-take or just keep working on my pre-reqs to raise my GPA to the 2.75 they require? I spoke to an advisor today, Demario(sp.?) and he was not very encouraging or helpful. He just kept saying, "I can't help you..I don't know what to tell you.." I felt even worse about myself and like I would never be able to get into a nursing program. I have been working as a PCT at Emory hospital for over a year and I KNOW I am meant to be a nurse. I am just stuck right now. There's so much competition to get into the nursing program. If I could start over I would!

I am taking more classes this semester to raise my GPA and hopefully do well on the HESI and be accepted for January start. If you all have any advice for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I know most of you work and have families to take care of on top of nursing school so you understand what it's like.

THank you!

I know someone who was in the same situation, she went ahead to retake 3 science courses online and made A's now her Gpa is a 2.9. Try and take some hard classes online or even on site and give out your best shot. I understand you on your family issue but trust me you will be fine in no time.

I too found out about the school at the last minute... Took the HESI on aug 2nd and passed with an 80 with no studying because I had no time to buy the study book the day before. Now I'm waiting on the word for the September start date. I feel so rushed and I hope I'm able to get everything in before orientation!
