Hi All,

I am starting Chamberlain RN-BSN on line July 5th. Is any one else, I will be doing Soc350 this part of the semester and Community nursing the second half. Any one have any words of wisdom?? I'm nervous about getting going. I have a lot of classes already done, Ieven have to take an elective to get enough credits to graduate from their school.

I had to take a two-credit course to meet the minimum credits to graduate (32 at the time I enrolled). I came in with three Associates degrees, so I had a lot of classes done already. It was a great program! I just graduated. I did one class at a time, for the most part -- I think I doubled up twice, and that was still manageable with my full-time RN job and once-weekly volunteer paramedic duties.

Good luck!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. (Okay, I didn't really enjoy Econ, but still. :D)

It was COMP100 -- Computer Applications for Business with Lab. It was all about how to use Microsoft Office 2007, which was kind of a joke for me because I'm a former desktop publisher, and I know Office inside and out. However, 2007 is a little different from earlier versions of Office, so I did learn some things. It was a necessary evil! :) It was the only two-credit class available at the time.

I do remember you.:) I am now working in Hagerstown, Md. Have been there for a year now. Its ok, I just needed a change from WMC. I interviewed at Leesburg for a geriatric psych position. My interview went well, and got positive feedback after my interview, but in the end I guess they offered the position to someone with my psych experience. The last I heard from them, they were trying to get another position approved.....so, I guess they didn't, because I didn't receive anymore calls from them. Congrats on obtaining your BSN! If you have any tips please share them.

It is very fast paced. Learn APA style right away, like before you start. I am at the "I think I like it" stage. I need to become more comfortable with it and everything will be fine.
