Nursing Students Chamberlain College

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.

Hi everybody. I took my Hesi on June 27th and I applied to the campus in Houston. I passed the Hesi: 88% on Reading, 96% on Anatomy and Physiology, 92% on Math and I have a GPA OF 3.5. I'm just waiting for someone to call me and let me know something. I am so nervous. It's been almost a month and I haven't heard anything! Can someone tell me how long it takes for them to call and let me know if I have been accepted or not and do you think my scores are good enough, seeing that there is so much competition? I am about to go crazy!:uhoh3:

i had 51 transfer credits lol...the financial aid lady said that's the most she's seen in Atlanta! So if i can successfully move things around, I can probably be done in 5 1/2 semesters. And yes my adviser said someone will call me regarding registration. Also, my first session will be NR-101, NR-222, and SOCS-185...all of which i can take online...so i can remain full time at my job until the fall semester starts!

Idk what its like in Houston, but in Atlanta you would definitely be in. But idk how different things are there bc Im sure most things vary depending on location. Maybe u can email ur adviser inquiring what your next step is.

THANKS SHARIEKA ALICIA! AND CONGRATS ON YOUR ACCEPTANCE! I WILL DEFINITELY DO THAT!:specs:

Thanks Hun! And good luck!!!!

THANKS : )

Thats great sharieka! I didn't take that many classes before applying here. This is actually the first nursing school I have applied too. Thats why I am going back and forth about the cost. I just think I have the grades this far to def make it in the program at Ga Highands, but I wouldnt be ready to apply till next april! Then again I can start at Chamberlain in September, and be done in 2 years if I start now verus 4 years all together at Ga Highlands. It's a tough decision to make. What would you decide to do if your were me?

Honestly, I would personally stick with Chamberlain. I wish I could've done this earlier. I really just wanna get it over with really bc i clearly have been in school a long time and im tired. lol. I just wanna be a nurse already! If ur GPA is good enough to "easily" get into a regular school...then by all means...do it cuz its cheaper...just keep in mind the competition is FIERCE! But i've been thru enough to say...I'm finally in...and idk when this opportunity will come again, and i've wasted enough time as is. So if i gotta break a lil extra bread...im all for it.

I have a friend that ive been talking with this week...she has a few more classes to retake (bc they expired) but her GPA is almost a 3.7...she wont have to struggle to get into any program in GA. So i told her she should def weigh her options. ME on the other hand...my GPA is around 3.0-3.1...im sticking with Chamberlain! lol...PLUS right now...time trumps money to me. Whichever will make me a nurse sooner...im on board! plus i'll be a nurse when im done so i can slowly pay off my loans for the rest of my life. lol...i notice im rambling so i hope i make sense lol

Thats what I think to. Just go ahead and get it done. Ga Highlands is def competition! I think I am just going to stick with Chamberlain, and hope in the end it will pay off (which im sure it will). What time on August 30th are you going to for orientation?

Angelynn,

I talked to the VA and I have decided to go ahead and start in September. I'm going to do the loans for Sept to the end of Oct and then prayerfully the VA will have approved them by then and they will start paying in November. Plus all of the other schools are already VA approved so I don't see why this one won't be. Also VA rep at the 800 number said there is a chance that they could approve them and give an earlier approval date; for example everything done and signed by Nov but make approval retroactive to Sept. He said in that case I would get my money back. Either way to me it's worth it at this point so that I can go ahead and start. I'm tired of waiting....

Skippery1, How do you qualify for a VA loan? Thanks. I was just wondering how that works.

Skippery,

I just keep getting so much conflicting info from them. I am still taking my prereqs at CC so I am not just wasting time. Hubby refuses to let me take out loans until they are approved for the VA, because that will cover half my tuition. I infact just heard from my advisor today, who told me that there was still no news on the VA, but he will let me know when or if it comes through. Right now my plan is to continue taking classes, and transfer to the University of West Ga in the Spring. I will be apply for their program in January, and if I do not make the cut for their summer semester, I will start Chamberlian. I am sure by then if they are going to get their VA approval they should have it.

Best of luck

Angie
