Well I got into Chamberlain BSN program at the Houston TX campus. I start September 1, 2014. I researched the school for about 4 months before applying and found a whole lot of really good information about them. I'm really impressed with our campus and all it has to offer including clinical sites, and NCLEX scores, even though it's fairly new. I can't wait to start. I realize there aren't many Houston people on here so I just wanted to start a thread and maybe one day when someone else is researching the school they can find me and this thread and I can help them possibly. Chamberlain went from being my last choice to my top choice after everything I found out about them. And I noticed that anyone who has negative things to say about Chamberlain obviously hasn't done their homework. Can't wait to start!
I had to comment. This thread has been an interesting read! I bet I know houstonRNhopeful:yes:
My story:
wanted to be an anesthesiologist. Had a kid at 18. My dream fizzled. Started working 40 hours a week while taking prerequisites. Didn't take my classes seriously because I was working full time. 2.25 gpa. 2.25!!
Got accepted into PV (see.. Chamberlain isn't the only school that accepts low Gpa LOOOL). Chose Chamberlain over PV because of flexibility.
2 years later. Never failed a class. Honor roll student. 3.4 nursing cumulative GPA. 1162 on exit HESI. Will be graduating in December with honors. (An A at chamberlain is a 94+.. Most of the other programs have it realllly good..)
never judge a book by its cover. Someone said "low gpa shows lack of commitment". Not always true. External factors play a part sometimes. I hope my post gives you all courage!
OH!! My classmate has a 2.8 and has a job offer at MD Anderson. Other friend has below 3.0 as well and has TWO offers at Ben Taub. guaranteed jobs before graduation. So no.. Blanket statements that hospitals in the medcenter only hire based on gpa is rubbish.

They will transfer over. I go to pre-enrollment on Monday to discuss my schedule and financial aid.
