Chamberlain NP program

Many will say its not a good school since its "for profit". While im sure there are more reputable schools, I have had no problems with them. Everyone at the school is very helpful, from student finance to your advisor. I also got a large discount due to being a daisy award winner, so that factored into my decision. Im in pharm now. I think with all online schools, the more you put into it, the more you get out. You can def "skate by" and pass this program (at least the non clinical portion) without much difficulty if your a decent student. I have a friend going to a state school and the work load seems comparable. Just keep in mind, you will NOT receive lecture material. It is all reading, and retaining. I find my OWN sources, youtube videos, numerous review books, articles on American Family Physician etc. to get the best out of this education. The teachers are more like, class moderators. Im in pharm now, and my teacher is actually a pharmacist, and has done the most "teaching" so far.

I enjoy the weekly discussion, and case studies, and feel like I learn a lot from those. Good luck with your choice.

[sOUNDCLOUD][/sOUNDCLOUD]I was wondering has anyone completed Chamberlain's FNP program? I was accepted to into the September class, but I am worried it not a good program. I will complete my BSN from there the end of August. It was my 2nd time taking my BSN courses, I was one of the many affected by the closure of ITT Tech.

Don't repeat the same mistakes:

Do your research locally, talk to local NPs and local employers and see what the job market is and what program they prefer to hire from. Investigate your local NP programs and look at what their pass rates are and what their job placement rates are: if school won't tell you this, find some recent grads and talk to them about both their experience and their job hunt.

Lastly, consider your investment in yourself and your future practice, both in time and finances. Make a smart and safe investment not the quick, easy, and high-risk investment.
