Chamberlain College of Nursing-FNP...accepted!!!

[Disneydog]

Sure!

The classes are 8 weeks and I am pretty familiar with that format bc I did my RN-BSN at JU and they were 8 week classes-which I loved!

from what I have heard it's all paper writing for the first couple classes bc the first class the only textbook required is an APA format manual.

oh good. and i love the fact, we only have to take one class at a time. since they didn't require much for admission, i am little worried, most of the schools require a lot more.. do you know why? because of that , is the college academic same as others?.. when we graduate , same like graduatse from the other school right? do you know anyone went there already?

[Disneydog]

Honestly, I think the school doesn't require much bc they want as much money/students as possible to go through the program. With that being said, that doesn't mean it's a "bad" school or program. The first graduates are going to be graduating in April so when can then see the academic standing, graduation rate. Also, CCN is totally accredited but doesn't have a name like Duke or Georgetown to demand a big draw so that's a way to intise more students, no giant hoops to go threw.

Moreover, I have been speaking with a lot of doctorate and master prepared NP that say their employer doesn't even ask where they have been to school so school recognition isn't a big deal. The "big deal" in the future for NPs is that they have their doctorate. Getting into any FNP program now is imperative if you don't want to complete your doctorate bc at some point I heard they may mandate a doctorate for NPs, but if you already have your NP then you are good!

Your enrollment counselor signs you up for your class so you don't have to do a thing.
