Chamberlain online FNP

Nursing Students Chamberlain College

Published

Is anyone enrolled in the online FNP program at Chamberlain? I am interested in hearing anyone's experiences with the program. Thanks.

Glad to hear more about Chamberlain's FNP online program from fellow students. I am currently in NR500 and am liking the program so far. I did my ADN at Chamberlain in Columbus. Any tips for a new student? I am in the process of finding some preceptors and am hopeful that something comes up soon. Good luck to everyone and glad to hear from you!

Hey everyone,

Glad to hear from others at CCN. I too am in the FNP program, and currently about to start my third session in Jan. I am getting nervous about the clinical rotations. I haven't heard from my clinical coordinator. I planned on emailing possible preceptors to secure placement after the holidays. I have heard of rotations through Walgreens and CVS as well, and was hoping for that to be a option.

I am currently enrolled in the CCN FNP program, just beginning my practicum. On track to graduate Feb 2016. Anyone with questions, feel free to message me.

Congrats on graduating from the Chamberlain FNP program. I have gotten a lot of feedback from your posts and others attending chamberlain... I have decided to choose Chamberlain over a couple of other well known schools.. I know there is no perfect school, but chamberlain seems to have a good organized program.

sorry it took so long to respond! I graduated in Feb 2016 and just passed my ANCC exam. I am grateful for a program that allows the flexibility that I needed in my circumstances, but Chamberlain is, in my opinion, similar to a self study program. Of course, with an online program, there will be the need for "self-motivated" individuals who take the initiative to study topics which they aren't comfortable with or feel they need additional information on.

My advice (if it is still needed!) is to find preceptors EARLY!!! Even if you are in your semester (yes you heard me right), begin contacting offices, NPs, MDs about possibly precepting there. You can let them know that it would not start for a number of months, but its important to get the ball rolling. And get your clinical site contracts/preceptor information in early as well. Many students who were supposed to be in my graduating class were delayed because of this.

The instructors, for the most part, aren't great. You are basically fending for yourself in most classes, but you just need to make a point to motivate yourself to learn.

Walgreens and CVS are constantly taking students. They have a pretty streamlined process, just don't miss the application deadline.

I did a portion of my first clinical session there (I ended up adding an urgent care, because the CVS' in northern CA were quite slow at that time. Depending on where you live, some of them are very busy.

As I mentioned before, Chamberlain (as I imagine are most online programs) are best for self motivated people who are able and willing to put the time in. The BEST thing about the Chamberlain program is that they purchase and FNP review for you in the last session, and it is not only an amazing program for the boards, but it helped quite a bit with clinicals! I will continue to use this review company throughout my FNP career, because the instructor has a great way of relaying information.
