So my admissions advisor succeeded in getting me the maximum credits for my general ed. classes. She's awesome! They accepted my statistics, which meant they waived the algebra requirement. They also accepted my AP English credits and my Honors Comp credits to fulfill all English requirements. So, just as I wanted, I don't have to repeat any courses! I do have to take Econ (blech) and an upper-level Soc class (diversity in the professions) in addition to the nursing classes (7 courses/24 credits). I also have to find a 2-credit class to go with all that because they require students to take at least 32 credits with them to earn the BSN, but there is apparently a 2-credit computer class I can take to cover that.
I also did a cost comparison spreadsheet (yes, another spreadsheet, stop laughing at me!) and it turns out that the RN-BSN programs I'm interested in would be nearly the same price, in the end. The other schools would require more classes at a reduced per-credit-hour rate, so it all shakes out to about the same cost for an RN-BSN.
So it looks like Chamberlain is the winner! I'm really excited!!
Congrats. You will do just fine. I am currently in the RN-BSN program at Chamberlain as of July 7th. I have to take 11 of the 14 classes including statistics (BOO) So far it has been fine . I am in my 3rd and 4th class. Trying to get these eight weeks over so stats class will end!!!
This is all so exciting. I have a quick question. I am from Germany as well and getting my transcipts accepted with the Board of nursing was a nightmare so I am somewhat anxious how it works with College. My degree was translated to an Associate Degree.
Can you tell me how difficult the classes are?? how much time per week is required to be successful?what is a typical week like, how much reading and are there research papers weekly posts or group projects??
can you tell me what types of requirements they have for a typical week?? I would like to know how much time is required to be successful. You state it is not hard, can you elaborate??
I'm really excited!!
