Hi. I'll move your question to the Distance/Online Forum.

There is a stickey there that offers a lot of good information: https://allnurses.com/forums/f125/rn-bsn-online-105380.html

You should so some searches on this site for further information about Chamberlain. They have a questionable reputation. Good luck in your future endevors.

I also urge you to do a search for threads concerning Chamberlain on this site. You will not find very many people who state that they are satisfied with the program. There are several who are suing the school over being kicked out of the ASN program. Others just talk about how disorganized and difficult to work with the school is. Read those threads. They paint a not so brilliant picture of this school.

Hmmm. I am currently enrolled in Chamberlain's RN to BSN program and have few to no complaints. My experience as an adult learner continuing my education would be different than that of someone new to the field attempting to acheive their RN through an online program. The latter appears to be the people with issues. I can remember being in a traditional nursing school and the stress involved, so I can only imagine what attempting such a task online would entail. I have no boards to pass upon the end of my studies. Yes, it is expensive, but all course materials, including books, are included in the cost. You will find that most online schools are costly. They offered me great transfer credits and I really like the fact that I will complete in a short amount of time. The advisors have been quite helpful. The online classes have been well organized and my grades have been posted in a very timely fashion. This has been true for both the Devry gen ed classes as well as the Chamberlain nursing courses. This past semester I had a group project with a gal from another state, farther in the program than myself and we talked at great length about the program, she has yet to experience troubles as well. It's important to look around at various programs and decide what works for you. I can tell you that I have friends and coworkers in other programs discussed on this board, some happy wit their choices, some not. There are pros and cons to all.
