Chamberlain college

stressgal, RN · Feb 27, 2009

I attended Chamberlain's RN to BSN online program and really enjoyed the process. I only had one slight incident in all of the courses and it was addressed and corrected quickly. As an alumni I have been pleased with the continued ease of contact and response for requests for transcripts. I'm not sure I understand your question about acceptance of the Chamberlain degree. Chamberlain has brick and morter schools as well as online degree advancement programs. They are accredited for these current programs and I understand they have applied for accreditation of a Masters program. The only downside about the program is it is a bit costly. However I was able to complete my BSN in less than a year.

I'm also an EC grad, currently pursuing my BSN through Chamberlain ... I won't finish quite as fast as stressgal, though! I've been very pleased so far. Three classes done, 7 to go!

I will be starting Chamberlain in July. I thought I was going to continue on with Excelsior but they are requiring a lot of extra pre-requisites. The advisor I've been working with at Chamberlain happens to be Lunah'a advisor and she is wonderful! Even though Chamberlain is a little more expensive per course I will end up paying less than I would have with Excelsior. Don't get me wrong. I still LOVE Excelsior!! :bow:

Yay! And yeah, according to my spreadsheets (hee hee ), the difference I'll pay with Chamberlain is about $2K more, but that's not even factoring in the annual student services fee that EC charges, not to mention the EC enrollment fee, so that would be almost $2K for two years + enrollment. So it's six of one, half dozen of the other. :)

I also have completed 2 classes thus far through Chamberlain. I like having a structured timeline for the classes which are only 8 weeks long. Be prepared though that you will do a lot of writing. I think I had 3 long papers due plus lots of other 2-3 pages of writing. I has been a joy thus far and starting 2 more classes starting monday. Just be prepared for lots of writing but the internet makes it all the more fun.

Hi,

I am starting the RN-to-BSN program tomorrow. I find that I will have fewer classes to complete compaired to another SON. I attended JU 2 years ago and there were just too many courses to complete for the BSN. The cost of the classes at Chamberlain are reasonable as compaired to some other schools.
