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,

Chamberlain College of Nursing is part of the for-profit college Devry. It is a very expensive college. Your better options are University of Texas-Arlington, or Western Govenors University, as well as some good state college's offering online programs. Most of these college's are 100% online with also no clinicals, so do your research before attending any for profit college, so you do not dish out 10X's the amount of money that you need to for your degree, when you can find a great non-profit program Just type in for-profit college's in google and you will see what I mean. Best of luck with your degree!

This was one of my concerns, thanks for sharing.

While it may be expensive there are no waiting list like most community colleges and Universities. I attend Chamberlain and there are clinicals and labs. The only way there are no clinicals is if you are taking a RN-BSN or BSN-MSN. Coming in with no degree clinicals and labs are required and mostly pre-reqs are done online, or you can do them on campus as well. However most of the nursing classes you have to go to campus for...hopes this helps.

The Hesi A2 is used for entry...there are no placement exams. There is math, reading/vocab/english, anatomy, chemistry on the test and they average your math and reading and you have to score a minimum of a 75. Hope that helps.

@ akilah530 Thanks for your response. I already took the HESI, and got accepted for January. I didn't take College Algebra so I was told that I have to take a placement test to see where they'll place me. I guess it's to see if I will be able to handle college algebra.

Congrats on getting accepted!!! Sorry about the misinformation...took algebra already, didn't realize there was a placement exam for that. However it makes sense, other schools do the same. Good luck and see you in January! What other classes are you taking?
