Welcome to Allnurses.com!

The new grad RN employment market in Houston has become hyper competitive over the past five years. With all the reputable nursing programs in the area (UT Houston, TWU Houston, Houston Baptist U, Prairie View, Lamar State, Lone Star, etc), some hiring managers are going to wonder why you opted to enroll in an investor-owned school.

Search other threads for info. I graduate in December. We will be their largest graduating class. Appx 40 of us. And a very good percentage of us have job offers at hospitals in the medcenter. No idea what the above poster is talking about.

No idea what the above poster is talking about.

Congratulations on your success, but some (not all) hiring managers wonder about the judgment and academic caliber of someone who would opt to pay expensive tuition to attend an investor-owned private for-profit school when more reputable nursing programs exist. Some of these nurse managers are in my social circle.

Again, congratulations and welcome to the nursing profession! :)

Thanks!!

We all have a right to wonder. They'll prob get more answers if they asked though

great thing is I've noticed most new grad interviews are set up through HR. Up to the candidate to sell themselves as soon as they walk through that door.

I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to and was wondering if one of you that have gotten acceptance into the program may be able to answer.

I know they take a cumulative GPA of all the schools you received credit from. But my question is will they only take a cumulative GPA of the courses that Chamberlain was able to accept?
