Chamberlain RN to BSN

Published

Anyone out there in the RN to BSN program at Chamberlain? If so, were you mandated to sign some Educard agreement for a loan? How does that work? THanks!!

Actually, I was just looking over the content and it's a project with something due everyweek, Collaborative Healthcare. For electives, I would look at classes that you can use toward the MSN. I did BSN level electives when I was in my ADN program and thats why I only had to take 10 classes. Otherwise, look for easy classes. Why make your life any harder than it needs be?

Sue,

Can you give me some feedback on what I should do. I am ADN educated but know one day I want my masters. So I was really interested in Chamberlain's RN-BSN-MSN bridge to try and cut down on total classes and streamline the process as Chamberlain's website describes. That said, however, I am not sure if down the road I want to be a NP or some type of Nurse Educator, etc. Do I absolutely have to decide before I begin a MSN bridge? I don't want to enroll in the BSN if it will be a waste of time and make more work for me down the road. I saw that you said Chamberlain does not have a FNP/DNP track though. Can you give me any advice on that? I would sure appreciate it. Also...any Chamberlain contact you may have. I am desperately trying to get a hold of someone but no one is answering my calls!!!! or returning them! Frustrating.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'd do the RN-MSN bridge. If you decide after that you want to add the NP, you can do that via a post-masters or via the DNP. I wish I had just continued on with Chamberlain for the MSN, I'd be finishing up this summer if I had. I can't say enough good about the program. It is fantastic and the student services people will go out of there way to assist you even after you graduate. It was the best investment I have ever made. Hands down. Good luck!
