deaconess/chamberlain college of nursing

Published

I have been trying to research this school and can't find many people willing to talk about it. Does anyone have any input? I am looking at the oncampus lpn-rn program. according to their website, you can still apply for fall semester. If anyone has any kind of infor. please help I don't want to move to St. Louis and find that I made a mistake. Thank you

I have heard that it's a good school. They just opened up a campus in Columbus, Oh to do the "hybrid" thing where you go online but also at a campus. I have a friend who is in the program. Aside from the outrageous price for tuition, she's loving it and can't wait to finish so that she can be a nurse instead of an MA/Registration Rep. I would go, but I don't have that kind of money and don't want to take out those private loans.

OK,

I am a fairly new member here and after 16-17 years of being an RN, I am looking at rn to bsn online programs... looking at chamberlain hard because of the short amount of time, but I invite opinions of the community from their personal experiences...

Thank You in advance....

See my posting above, if you have any specific questions, you can send me a private message. I'm currently in my 6th class through Chamberlain.

Good luck!

I will finish my BSN with Chamberlain the end of February 09. I looked long and hard at many programs and am glad I chose Chamberlain. None of them are cheap but I feel CCN was worth the money. I had an overall good experience. My admissions rep was less than up front but I believe it was out of ignorance rather than deceit. Be sure you ask every question you can think of and get your answers in writing. There are no clinicals involved with this program so I definitely would not recommend it for anyone who has been a nurse less than 5 years, minimum. This would definitely lead to a knowledge gap. My instructors were generally very engaged with the students, except one at CNN. The one and only class I took through DeVry was a joke. The instructor was all about herself and the discussion threads were nothing but free-for-alls. The format was very difficult to navigate, as opposed to CCN's which is very user-friendly even for a computer illit like me. The work load is taxing but not overwhelming. Good luck, whichever route you take!

Dogbreath, I fininsh in Feb. also!!! I agree with your points regarding the school and I too was less than enthused with my devry instructor, but the class was a manadory diversity class. I do have one more devry classs and that is the economics just because I need thirty credits from them or I would have clepped it. Good luck and congrats!!
