Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

[SL2014]

Hello!! I just joined this site today because I was recently accepted into Chamberlain College of Nursing, I am scheduled to begin classes on March 1st and I was wondering if anyone else is going to Chamberlain and also if anyone has heard anything (good or bad) about this school. I am very excited to start and I think that the most appealing thing about this school is that there isn't a wait list... I applied in August, was accepted in October and I am beginning in March. It is quite expensive but I think (or at least hope) that it is worth it. Also instead of doing the ADN, I have decided to do the BSN, any comments?? Advice?

I am so excited to be starting Feb :) woohoo!

Hi N.Betty,

Are you going to Chamberlain in Phoenix? I applied there for March start date aswell!! Can you tell me what the application process was like? I am just waiting to take the HESI exam and then they said I will find out shortley after that if I have been accepted :). How was the HESI exam in your opinion, is it similar to the TEAS? Any information would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much, and Congrats on being accepted, I have heard great things about this school!! :)

Its a Feb 28th start date :) Yes Phoenix location... I am so excited because I heard its an awesome school......

I dont know about the TEAS as I have never taken it..... I did well on the HESI... study the HESI guide inside and out. If they see that you have any A&P, Chem, BIO on previous transcripts then you need to do really well in the HESI portions in those arenas, if you have never taken the classes before they will give you a little break if you dont pass at their required 75% ....

good luck hope to see you there :)

I have reapplied for Feb start (applied into July program but had to decline die to family issues). Now I've been told my application was put on hold :/ anyone know what that means? Just out of curiosity are u willing to share your GPA and/or HESI scores N. Betty? Hopefully everything will come through and I'll b starting with you in feb

[N.Betty]

my HESI score was 94% and GPA about 3.5 when I applied.... GPA is slightly lower now as I have taken a few tough classes at CC to bypass the first few semesters at Chamberlain.

I think "on hold' means that they are probably waiting for a larger pool to review at their next admissions review date. I think thats what it means.

Good luck, see you there in Feb :)

hmm

well i scored a 91.71 on the english and an 82 on math which made my composite score an 86.85. My cumulative GPA is a 3.848 so I'm hoping I will hear some good news soon! Hope to see you in Feb! The waiting is killing me :/

[N.Betty]

Seriously, I wouldnt worry to much, I am sure you will get in with those scores. :)

Just wondering if anyone in the program there has an idea of where they do clinicals. I checked on the website and it seems pretty hazy on that. Do they use Phoenix valley hospitals or do they go with clinics and hospice type settings.
