Ambria College Of Nursing

City Colleges Of Chicago

I was trying to apply the smart way by finding hospitals that have an RN Program but i cant find any.

    The best resources you can use to find approved and accredited nursing schools is your state BON (list here) and the two accrediting bodies, ACEN and CCNE. Other things you should look at include the NCLEX first time pass rate- a lower pass rate is indicative of a school that doesn't properly prepare students to function at the minimum competency level.

    There aren't any hospitals in Chicago with an RN program. That went out of style a while ago.

    For cheaper options, consider a public university.

    I too was interested in a hospital program, however there are none in Chicago. There is one Graham Hospital (and it's on probation) in down state IL. If you're willing to leave the state there are several programs in PA,NYand NJ. There is also one in Indiana and I believe Ohio has a few.

    City colleges of Chicago have had some issues with pass rates. Also several of their nursing programs were closed and are now under one umbrella ( one school one location). I don't know the exact details but it would be something to look into.

    Depaul- I don't think they offer an undergraduate degree in nursing.

    Ambria- Is this the school where you have to become a Lpn first, then bridge from Lpn-ADN...then another bridge from RN-BSN? If so, I don't know the cost for the RN program but if their 45k Lpn program is any indication,I would stay away.

    Have you considered the suburban community colleges or UIC?

    What are you finding attractive about Chamberlain? Their programs are seriously overpriced compared to lots of other schools and the schools have a poor reputation in some circles. Why would you want to pay a lot more money than necessary in order to end up with a degree that is going to cause some people to raise their eyebrows or roll their eyes for the rest of your career?

    There are still two hospital diploma programs in NC (just to add to the list started above).
