  1. Is chamberlain College of Nursing worth a shot?

22 members have participated

So far I've gotten accepted to the Chamberlain College of nursing in Houston,TX for January 2013; since I am aiming to get my CRNA's I am worried if after i finished here at chamberlain I wont be able to transfer to another school..

So far during the enrollment process my advisor has been leaving out some stuff or forgetting stuff..

* Such as orientations meeting,

* there was a math test I had to take after the hesi test in order to wipe away 3 math classes, If it wasn't for me asking they would've done my curriculum with the 3 extra clases. (better said they did do my curriculum along with the 3 extra classes)

* I've called several times and can't get ahold of anyone nor can anyone give me any answers to my doubts.

So far I have had a not so good experiences with the process enrollment, and well everything they've had me doing so far, such as drug test, paperwork, financial aid, was done at a rush and at last minute..

So my thing now, is it really worth going to chamberlain after the experience I have had with them.. if that has been what I experience now, will it be the same after I start the nursing program with them??

as of now I am having second thoughts about this school..

Has anyone had issues transfering chamberlain credits to another state university?

What are you thoughts on chamberlain..

Unless you are not transferring any credit into the school, your tuition should not be 70,000. As far as out of pocket expenses go, the estimate they give you for the semester is always higher than the actual charge because the estimate includes books. If you are a savy shopper and buy used from amazon, classmates, or rent them that's $700 off the semester in itself. Also, if you have bachelors already you should have no problem with having to retake courses.. Many of my classmates have a previous degree and started out in year 2. I started in year 2 because I transfered in alot of credit hours and only had to take 3 gen ed courses there that were not offered at my community college. PM me if you have any questions

Housotnrnhopefull, approx it was gonna be 60k no more than 70k your right, I was not going in for the 3 years but 2 same as you, but either way its still a lot, i was not gonna get that much from student loans, gov student loans was gonna give only a certain amount and whatever was left I had to pay out of pocket or I had to get another loan, what would happen if I couldn't get out that loan in order to finish the program? wait and take a break until I come up with the money in order to finish the program and graduate?

To me it is a lot and I don't want to be in major debt later and cant go to another school because of the debt with them.

As i mention previously, I really did not like the enrollment process experience I had with them..

sorry I cant PM you, the website for some reason doesn't let me?? :(

I am feeling the same way. I just started taking some pre reqs at my community college and am appealed by the 3 yr BSN but I am really afraid I won't be able to pay for it. I'm only getting $10K a year and that's not gonna be enough, I'd still have a $1,400 payment a month... I don't know what to do

Mini, were you gonna go to chamberlain as well? Yea.. I know what you mean, thats why I had to look else where I couldn't afford for they were asking me for... yea thats about the same about they were asking me for..

Yvi, yes my friend graduated from there in the Addison campus n she loved it but her parents were paying for the majority of it. I think I'm just doing my ADN first n then get a job while I pay for my BSN

I'm currently attending CCN online RN-BSN/MSN and it is expensive. I got my ASN at a community college which was very affordable for me at the time. I went this route because I heard the statistics on how many new RNs leave the profession within the first year of licensed practice and I wanted to make sure I liked what was doing to stick with it for several years.

I had planned to start my BSN after a year or 2 once I decided I wanted to stay in nursing. Many hospitals offer tuition reimbursement for nurses to further their education. I'm taking advantage of my hospital's program so I will not have to go into a lot of debt.

Before shelling out 80-90K on a school please be sure that you really want to become a RN and make a long term career out of it. You should also be aware that many new nurses are having a hard time finding jobs; for some it is taking more than a year to find employment. That is something to consider since loan repayments start a few months after graduation.

I graduated in 2010 from the RN-BSN completion program.

Yes. I was accepted into the University of South Alabama and several other state and private school graduate programs. It was no problem. I loved Chamberlain and felt completely prepared for graduate school.

Did you have any problems finding a job after completing the RN/BSN program from Chamberlain??
