Frustrated with Chamberlain

Published

I'm a foreign educated nurse. It took me 2 years to get my CA RN license. Due to moving from CA to VA I had to go through the whole evaluation process again to get my VA license. (CGFNS and TOEFL). Took me another 2 years. I decided then to get my RN to BSN. The only school I could find that said they would accept my evaluation from CGFNS was Chamberlain, so I went with them. Turns out they didn't accept it after all and I had to go through the evaluation process AGAIN. This time with WES. Another couple month. Finally had it submitted to Chamberlain. The financial department kept calling every 2 days to go over my finances. I was trying to tell them I do not want a loan and please stop calling because I'm at work. They are still calling every two days. Submitted my FAFSA. Finally did my taxes and submitted the new FAFSA also. Then they wanted an essay because English is not my first language. Explained to them I passed the TOEFL with a high score so they said they'll see if they accept that. Sent them my TOEFL results. Now they want official results. Every time they wanted something new (WES, TOEFL) they said they'll pay for it. Only for my to find out in the end they are not paying for it after all. My diploma is worth half an associates (that's what you get when your 3 years of schools are mostly clinicals...). Chamberlain still calls every two days to remind me that some paperwork is still missing. I'm so super frustrated with them. They are expensive too. Anyone has experience with Chamberlain? Does it get better? I'm about to look for another online school. Any recommendations?

Chamberlain is a private, for-profit school. Their primary interest and commitment is in making as much money as they can. I'm sure you would have a better experience with any number of non-profit schools.
