Chamberlain FNP 2015 (looking for previous & new students)

RedCarnation · Apr 25, 2015

Ted, I will pm you the name of my adviser. She was great and got me set-up right away.

I am also located in Florida (Orlando area)

RedCarnation,

Thanks immensely for PMing your adviser's info -- I have an update: I was able to reach her and I started the application process by e-signing 3 forms. You were right, she's great and has been very helpful. Thanks :)

She asked who had referred me to her and I told her it was a fellow Floridian starting in September... She has me starting in October because she says the September cohort is already full. I'm still asking to start in September so there's a possibility we could start at the same time and help each other out.

Please let me know whether you've already made a decision regarding which school you'll attend for your FNP. Anyway, stay in touch and feel free to PM me as I'm unable to

Again, thanks and look forward to our continued support through this forum, hopefully many will benefit from us sharing details of the process.

Ted

Hi Ted

Please let me know if you have gotten any info on the MSN/FNP program at chamberlain. I am from Orlando, FL and was considering either chamberlain or Nova southeastern university for FNP program.

Redcarnation i am from Orlando, FL too. Looking into an FNP program, any advice? Are you currently in the program, if so where?

EJN, RN, BSN · May 1, 2015

Hi noureend,

Coincidentally, just a few hours ago I wrote a public message to RedCarnation (also in the Orlando area) and thanks to her I was able to get a hold of someone over at Chamberlain... you can read the rest on the post.

FYI, I'm down to Chamberlain and South University... I'll need to make a decision soon but Chamberlain offers pretty decent discounts for certain affiliations...

Stay in touch if you like -- Who knows maybe along with RedCarnation we can all support one another through the CCN FNP :)

Ted

Hello. My name is Angela McAdams RN student at Chamberlain. Live in Eagle Wisconsin. Looking for clinical sites and preceptors for January 2016. Do you have any ideas? Thank you

I start in July? Is there a Facebook group set up yet?

Here is the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CCONMSNFNP/

As for finding preceptors, start early but try not to stress out! I work in a large hospital system with outpatient clinics. I emailed every NP in the system. You will get a lot of "no's" or non-responses but I've also got a few that have said yes. Also, check out community clinics for low-income or minority populations. They often have many NPs working for them and are usually happy to precept. I have a couple of prospects from such clinics. Chamberlain seems to have broadened their rules on preceptors to become more inclusive, as many students were having such a hard time finding people.

Hi noureend! I haven't started the program yet. I am set to possibly starting in September. I will keep you posted.

Ted - glad to hear you were able to get set up : )

I will pm you

Hi.

I had started the program at South University and finished one class and then had to withdraw because they messed up on my financial aid and put me down as getting a bachelors and since i already had a bachelors in health science i couldn't get loans and needed to be in a masters program, so now applying to Nova. Have you narrowed down to which one you want to go to?
