Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

Published

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?

Hi everyone I too will be starting this upcoming semester.:D I was just looking at the website and was a bit concerned. I was told that chamberlain college was accredited which is true. But according to the website it states that the BSN program in "Arizona and Addison are candidates for accreditation by NLNAC". So please correct me if i am wrong, does that mean the BSN program in Arizona is not accredited yet? I'm worried that I will be spending all this money to go to a school that might not even be accredited. Does anyone know when they will have their visit and become an accredited institution? Once we do compete the BSN program and the school is still seeking for accreditation or is still not accredited will we be able to sit and take the NCLEX?:confused:

I just did some research on the Arizona State Board of Nursing approved programs and it was on the list. The list stated that it is approved by the CCNE and NLNAC. What does it mean if is has an provisional approval of 11/2007? Should i still be worried?

the program in phoenix is accredited by the CCNE and has candidate status with the NLNAC. i'm pretty sure it only needs to be approved by at least one to be considered an accredited program, they're just going for both. looking forward to meeting everyone in a month :)

Has anybody got their schedule yet? I feel bad but I have been bugging my advisor the past two weeks and she keeps telling me that I should know by the end of the week. Has anybody have had the same problems?

I have learned from experience that If you have a balance on your account, you will not get your schedule until that is paid. Schedules came through last week, but I am in the preceptorship, So not sure if is different depending on which semester you are in. In the past, I haven't gotten my schedule until the week before classes started. Good luck!

I had everything paid off at least thats what my advisor told me. I guess thats one of the downfalls with Chamberlain College, them handing out schedules a week or so before classes start. Thanks for the information :)

How much is the BSN program and is it hard to get loans to cover it? Im interested in attending chamberlain but im concerned about the price. I would like an idea of how much it really costs.

does anybody know if students have to wear scrubs to class everyday? I know most of nursing schools do but i wasn't sure if Chamberlain does.

Most schools only have to wear scrubs to clinical sites. Not to actual class. Why don't you call the campus you're interested in and ask just to be 100% sure.
