I just found this school. It costs alot but you get your BSN in 8 months!!!! Has anyone had any experience with this school?

I think my ADN was 69 credits. Then that would addition 20something. Do they give you the rest for experiece? How does that work. And if you don't mind me asking how much is it costing you? How hard is the program?

Every RN-BSN student needs the core 8 classes (I want to say 24 credits). You don't get credits for experience, instead they just attribute it to your diploma program. The program is $660/credit. It has cost me approximately $14,000. Is it hard? Hard to say, that's a relative question. I personally think it's easier than when I got my diploma. There are no exams, just alot of papers and powerpoint presentations.

I went full-time (2 classes every 7 weeks) and will complete the program in only eight months. I started in Jan, and graduate in Aug.

just looking for a follow up opinion now that you are done with Chatham University, what was your overall experience? I have put in a request to speak to an advisor, i would like to continue to my bsn, as i currently have my diploma in nursing, but also have an associates degree in science. Do you know about financial aid for this online program? Any advice or insight would be helpful, I am also looking at Western Governors University........... thanks

Hello there,

I am just posting this thread to say that Chaham's program seems like the most no nonsense. So, you don't have to have to be from Shadyside SoN to take their online program?
