Hey Commuter, you're in the area. Have you formed an opinion on TWU's RN-MSN (FNP) program by any chance? Figure with you being in the area, you may have had conversations about it.

All of TWU's nursing programs have solid local reputations. :)

For those that have experienced the online RN to BSN with Chamberlain...

with taking one class per 8 weeks, what would you say your average hours per week

you had/have to put in for study and work?

I am willing to pay a bit higher of a price for a program that is very easy to bridge in with the

rest of my life. I already run 14-16 hour days. So I don't have much room to squeeze in a huge load

of course work.

Gretchg4c,

I am currently at CCN for the FNP program, but I did do the RN-BSN program back in 2013-2014. Taking one class at a time, I would think 5-8 hours a week. Maybe a few more on weeks with assignments. Again, with any school it is what you put into it.

I took econ at my local community college, much easier. Had a little hiccup getting the credit applied at chamberlain but they applied it eventually.

I am starting the first of my last four classes this semester. I have enjoyed it so far. It is very pricey so I only take two classes a year due to the reimbursement limits at the hospital I work at. The school has no problem letting you take the time off between classes, you will get a ton of emails from them though.

Hi,

I am also in the RNtoBSN FNP program at Chamberlain. I started in January 2016 and took transitions the first semester. Next week is our last week in that course then I will be taking Diversity in professions and Health Assessment in March. I'm slightly nervous about taking those 2 classes together because I've been reading a lot of posts from students saying those 2 classes have alot of posts, papers, quizzes, and finals. I am determined to finish strong though! End goal=FNP by Dec. 2018

I took their BSN online program, graduated in 2013, loved it so much I have continued there for my MSN. I took 2 classes per 8 week session. Definitely doable, I worked full time and have 4 school aged children. Sometimes laundry didn't get done on time, but every paper did. I graduated with President's honors and would encourage anyone to go there.

Hi! With taking 2 classes per 8 week session, were you able to complete the program in less than a year?

I've been doing 2 courses per 8 week session and still work full time (three 12 hour shifts per week). I started January 2016 and November 2016 is my last semester, graduating on a Dec. 16th :)
