This reply is for NesRN. I just completed statistics and the key is getting the right professor. I had the absolute worst professor I could have had and worked my tail off to learn the material. Professor Heard is the instructor that provides the weekly i connect and he is wonderful. He is the most requested professor for DeVry and I would recommend him. I found it to be my worst experience ever, but I feel that was because of my instructor, or should I say "lack of" instructor. I went into the final exam with a 99.6% and I am waiting the results of my final, but I would not have had that if it weren't for Professor Heard. Good luck and let us know how it's going. It's only eight weeks. That's what I kept telling myself.

I got my grade for Econ yesterday. Luckily I'm carrying on my 4.0! So Econ may be hard but it is do-able. Remember to attend the live lectures, or at least view the recording. Those were really the key to getting a good grade.

I just finished Sociology and really didn't like it - so glad it's over with. It wasn't hard just super time consuming, and the topics I felt were a bit offensive...
Now onto economics. Yuck. Now THAT I'm dreading.

I just finished economics and it was awful for me. I love the nursing classes because I'm a darn good nurse...but some of the non-nursing classes were a bit much for me. Like economics.... it was just way above my head I think and to be honest - I didn't really care (lol). I learned a lot, but my instructor was not that great. All I can say is thank God for the live lectures! Even if your instructor is good/bad/otherwise, make sure you attend the lectures (or watch them later like I did) because they will save your behind! (also great lectures for statistics!)

Econ was also VERY time consuming I thought. There is a quiz ever single week (exept for the week of your midterm and final), along with the forums every week, PLUS there were a few papers to write. This would have been a better workload with just one class.... but I was taking a nursing class also and quite overwhelmed with the work.

It IS possible though! I did it (and somehow pulled an "A" out of the class - still not sure how it happened but I refuse to question it!), so I know you can too! I'm on my last class (Capstone) and graduate in October!

Congrats Brandy!! I agree with you, I really just don't care about economics, supply and demand, blahblahblah. lol, I'm not sure why they're making us take this course, and I agree the workload is ridiculous! This is currently my third week of class and I'm immersed in the material, otherwise I'd be totally lost. I'm glad to be getting this over with. Next term I'm taking Intro to the Humanities and then I'm done with DeVry, (hurray!) and only have 3 or 4 Chamberlain classes left :yeah: :yeah:

Hi everyone,

I just happened to come across this thread and thought I would jump in. I am starting the RN-BSN program with Chamberlain in October. Does anyone have any advice or thoughts? Thanks, I appreciate it!!

babe48076 · Sep 22, 2011

@lishahb13 I am also starting October 24.

cmo701 · Sep 22, 2011

@ lishahb13 & babe48076 I'm also starting the 24 th of October! Very nervous and excited! How many classes are you guys taking? I'm from NY, where are you guys from?

babe48076 · Sep 22, 2011

@cmo701 I live in Florida. I am planning to take 2 classes. How about you?

cmo701 · Sep 22, 2011

@babe48076 cool! Maybe we will be in the same class. I plan on taking two classes as well! Not sure which ones yet, I'm still waiting for the admission advisor to get back to me.

Good luck!

Hey everyone! I'm starting Chamberlain online in October with just one class, NR 351- Transitions in Professional Nursing. I wanted to know if anyone had any advice and also if anyone could give me some suggestions on which classes would be good if taking 2 at the same time, 2 that are somewhat do-able together.

seniorrn · Sep 23, 2011

I will be done in December, took 2 classes at a time, transitions and socially were my 1st 2, doable, lots of papers to do, just follow the grading rubic and will do fine. Take your math and economics with a nursing class and will be ok. Good luck! Im in Chicago
