Hi, I'm going absolutly crazy over here reseaching online RN-BSN programs...I'm getting a little dizzy now
I'm pretty interested in Indiana Wesleyan University and Chamberlain.
Chamberlain seems quick and painless, but quite expensive. I would love to hear from current/past students from either school
Thank you!!!

hi kaycee,
I'm right there with you on the dizzy side of things. I've been looking for about a week or so. I am considering 2 Chamberlain and Kent State University. I sent my apps off today, paid my fees and requested my transcripts. I spoke with someone from KSU the other day.... it's brick and morter on line. The online program is the same as their classes basically. Today I got a call from Chamberlain. Quick that's forsure. I'm still waiting for the transcript eval to see who really is going to be the best money wise. I'm still very unsure of who will transfer to a MSN NP program. Chamberlain said, "we are accredited and all our credits will transfer to any MSN NP educaiton". I'm from the school of "I've got some swamp land....". I know Chamberlain is right on the mark by calling me rushing things along. Kent will start me in May and Chamberlain in April. Let me know how you make out.
I learned about Chambelain from a girl at work who has been very happy with the online program and about to finish up this semester.

After my (almost ridiculous amount of) research into RN-BSN programs, I ended up applying to Chamberlain and University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. I ended up choosing Chamberlain, and I'm really glad I did. (I swear, sometimes I sound like a paid spokesperson for Chamberlain, but I'm really not!!) The classes have been great -- lots of reading and research and paper writing, but I love that stuff. :) Chamberlain was more expensive per credit hour, but required me to take fewer credits than anywhere else, so the bottom line cost was about the same as other programs.
Good luck, whatever you decide!!
I am kind of seeing that also. Less classes ahead. I'm waiting for transcripts evaluation to finish my decision making. If it is a quick as it sounds, and I can put in the time I could be done right in the time frame I want to be done..... when my son graduates from high school. I'm taking a small window of time for myself.
