HELP!?

I can't tell you anything about Chamberlain (although you mentioned "Florida or Jacksonville" and last I checked Jacksonville was a town IN Florida, so...not sure what you mean by that). I think you're asking about Chamberlain's BSN program, so I'll let those who know tell you about that :)

I CAN tell you that if you become licensed in Florida, you'll need to apply to the NYS BoN to obtain a license to work in NY; as long as the school you graduate from is recognized by the State BoN it won't be a problem (assuming you meet all the usual requirements, of course).

Now, getting licensed and finding a JOB are two entirely different things.....and you probably know that the New York job market is saturated with new grads.

Make sure you do some research before you up and move for school.....so you don't find out you can't find a job once you're done!

From what I gather, Chamberlain is a for-profit institute.

As someone who went to a for profit school, all I can say is: be wary.

Desperate students who are discouraged by the wait lists and GPA requirements of traditional schools are exactly what they're looking for. Be prepared for a high-pressure sales pitch.

Bottom line: Nursing students who don't want to "wait any longer" and who jump to pay outrageous commercial school fees will be ever so sorry in the long run.

Student loans do not EVER go away. Think twice, thrice and then some before you take on these loans. You may never find a job as a new grad, yet you will forever have the student loans.
