Hello!
It has been a while since I have posted, but I am stuck in a predicament. I was accepted to Chamberlain College of Nursing in Phoenix, and was looking forward to starting in January. I am all set to start there. However, Friday night I got an email I had been anticipating for over a year. I finally got placed into the GateWay community college 4 semester traditional nursing program, also starting Spring 2015. I am now trying to decide what option will be better for me. Chamberlain costs an arm and a leg, but I will get done and have a BSN in 2 and a half years. GateWay is much more affordable, however I would only be getting my RN, and would need to continue on to get my BSN anyway. I have also had the question in the back of my mind, is Chamberlain really a recognized school? I wondered if a hospital would hire a university grad over a Chamberlain grad, so this thought also worries me. I do not know what to do! If anyone could give me some sort of insight or advice, it would be GREATLY appreciated! I just do not know which path to take!!!
