Interested in Applying but Unsure

[Lavender111]

Hi everyone! I just graduated high school and am thinking of either Chamberlain or a community college program. I've fallen in love with Chamberlain despite the crazy cost

There's no way that I could afford $85,000 for the BSN program so if I do end up choosing this school I'll take all classes possible at my local CC. If anyone could help me with answering some questions that would be great.

1. Did you take all your classes through Chamberlain or another school?

2. What was your GPA and HESI scores when applying?

3. How are you guys planning to pay for the program - sorry if that is too personal! But cost is a serious concern for me.

4. I'm worried that a hospital won't want to hire a graduate from a private for-profit university when compared to someone who graduated from a state school. Do you think this makes a difference?

5. If anyone is in the program, do you like it?

Thanks guys I will possibly be in the Phoenix accelerated BSN program. The community college nursing program just isn't as appealing to me but it might be the only realistic option

I think they have the statistics on their website but not positive. They also have job placement rates listed and NCLEX pass rates.

That's a good question @AlleycatLady especially because Chamberlain is so expensive. I enrolled with Strayer University for a more relevant course line-up at half the cost. I even got a free laptop from them. I'm in the process of applying for another Strayer Scholarship for MSN program. I hope to win my first 6 courses, books, and fees at no cost.

Just FYI, their MSN program isn't accredited yet.
