Give me the good and bad of Chamberlain

Nursing Students Chamberlain College

Published

Hey everyone,

I am thinking of applying to Chamberlain College of Nursing Online to do my RN-BSN and then on to my MSN. I have been reading reviews for this online college, however, most of them are at least 2 years old.

Please give me any up-to-date pros and cons you may know of, so I can add them to the list I have created so far. Please include, in your comment, if you actually attended the school or not.

Also, if there are any managers out there, do you consider a nurse with their BSN from this college to be trained well and at high standards?

Thanks in advance!! :)

@athomas2244,

What don't you luke about the financial aid? That will play a huge roll for me when making my decision. Thanks for your input! :)

Wyoming is a traditional 16 week semester. All classes are online, no clinical component. The classes can be taken one at a time or you can double or triple up if you can swing that with work or other life commitments. The classes are a mixture of some tests and papers but are mostly scholarly research papers near the end of the program. The capstone course is a proposed or real intervention that you create, research, present, and possibly implement; my final paper was 20+ pages. Unfortunately out of state tuition costs have risen dramatically and are now $300+ per credit hour, I snuck in at the $180-$220 range. Good luck!

Well, everyone, I greatly appreciate all of your input and information about the schools. I never thought the Chamberlain forum would expand so much, but I am glad that it did!! I have contacted all of the schools you all suggested, as well as a few others that I found. I have decided to go with Grand Canyon University because they have everything I need and their classes are set up one at a time for 5 weeks each, which I was kind of looking for. What really got me is the advisor that I spoke with. She was the FIRST advisor that I talked to that could thoroughly help me with my VA Benefits without sending me to a different department or saying they actually weren't sure what to do. I know I did not mention VA benefits in my original post, but that is because I was under the impression that they would be well-known to ALL schools. I did not anticipate it actually being something that would alter my decision.

Anyway, thanks again for everything!! You are all so awesome!!

Adrienne
