Going great so far! The staff has been really supportive. They're a little but unorganized with the admissions staff (in my personal experience), but professors and upperclassmen are willing to help out. I have never felt so much support from professors! (SO FAR)

I know - when I first applied, I was told it would transfer but in the end, it didn't. I was a little irritated since it pushed me back another semester, but I guess it'll be a good refresher for me! I took A&P 1 at a CSU, but did not take A&P 2 as a speech path major. We were required to take A&P of Speech rather than A&P 2. The registrar said in order for my A&P to transfer, I have to had taken A&P 1 + A&P 2 since the integumentary system wasn't included My expected graduation date was set for after the first semester of 2021, but I believe after the 2nd semester of 2021, I'll be graduating.

Ooo! I'm taking BIO 251, MATH 114N, and NR 103 in the first session, and BIO 251 and ETHC 445N in the second. Unfortunately, A&P 1 from my cal state didn't transfer over, so I'll have to take A&P again When is your expected graduation date?

How did your pre enrollment call go?! Did they tell you what classes you're taking in the first session? :)

Yes! I grew up in LA & went to college in the Bay area. I have my pre enrollment meeting tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. I do have an instagram account, but it's been over a year since I deleted it off my phone because I rarely use it! I'll download it again.. eventually! Hahah

Hello! Yay! Did you have your pre-enrollment meeting yet? Do you happen to know which classes are you starting off with?? I feel like we're on the same boat! I'm not sure if it's my advisor, but I feel like I have to keep asking questions rather than him telling me everything I need to know. I've emailed him a few times and it takes a while for him to respond. After he sent me papers to sign, I emailed him, and didn't get a response. He would usually call me at the end of the day (4:30-4:45pm) and if I missed his call, I wouldn't get an answer since he was already out of his office 15 minutes later. I had to call the admissions office to get an understanding of what my admission status was.. I was so confused. I did ask him when orientation was, and he responded this morning. Unfortunately, I am in a wedding that weekend in the Bay area and won't be in town for orientation. I'm hoping they are able to accommodate with another option??

YES, I honestly found it difficult to sum everything in 1-2 paragraphs. Housing is very affordable here, but like you said, the wages are nothing compared to California! :)

Hi! Awesome :) I do have my pre-enrollment appointment this coming Friday. Do you know which classes you'll be starting off with? They did send me a few documents to sign.. this was their way of telling me I was accepted. My advisor was like, "sign these forms, thanks". There wasn't any "congrats" or "you've been selected to move forward" etc. It has been a guessing game throughout this process with my advisor. :) I know nothing about orientation - I'm out of town almost every weekend in December, so I'm worried I won't be able to make it since they'll be telling me the date last minute at this point. Do you know when it will be??

Thank you! My advisor told me things very last minute & out of order, so throughout the process, I was confused! I passed my HESI & he then casually told me that I needed to write my purpose statement. He told me it had to be 1-2 small paragraphs max. I wish I had the entire page! He then sent me two math placement tests that I had to take within the next 1-2 days (mind you, I was out of town & did not have access to a computer), so it felt unorganized. I didn't know why I was taking a placement test before knowing whether or not I had been admitted.. it seemed odd. I felt it would've been a waste of time if I didn't get in. I'm from LA - many people told me to try West Coast University & I have a handful of friends who have attended. I did apply to West Coast in 2011. I was accepted, but decided not to follow through because of tuition. Mind you, their tuition is almost $150K. My friend has her BS in Health Science, and was only able to transfer 12 units, and had to retake all of her science courses. I'm 27 and I actually moved here a few months ago with my boyfriend - I'm in the Henderson area right now, but I work at an assisted living an exit away from Chamberlain. The summers here are brutal, as expected. I know the summers in Sacramento are brutal too, so I think you'd be OK :) I absolutely LOVE the area that we live in right now. Our complex and the surrounding area is still pretty new, and the cost of living compared to California still blows my mind til this day. Also, I'm not sitting in traffic for 1.5hrs to drive 20miles away. Sadly, we do plan on moving closer to Chamberlain, since we are literally on the opposite side! Chamberlain is on the Northwest side of Vegas, but my family lives in the Southwest. I have heard it's a great area to live in, so that is where we are looking. I was originally planning on applying to Roseman where their program was 18 months. Roseman doesn't offer pre-reqs & I have been trying to take Microbiology for the past couple years now at local CC's in the LA area. I kept getting waitlisted in the #30-50 spot, so there as no way I had a chance of getting into the class. My cousin encouraged me to try getting into CSN, where I was actually waitlisted #3, but still did not get in. I was tired of wasting time trying to get ONE class just so I could apply to Roseman, so I decided to give Chamberlain a try & I liked what I saw. Everything happens for a reason, I guess! I am excited too! :) Keep me updated w/ your decision!

I have my BS in Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology from a Cal State & am transferring in 34 units. My GPA was a 3.5, and HESI was 87%, which isn't the highest of all. During open house, I was told that I had 30 days to take the HESI exam after applying, so I timed it accordingly.. The next day, I got a call from my advisor saying I had to take it within two weeks. I told him I was traveling out of state, had planned vacation, and asked if I could take it in three weeks - nope. I took it after a week and a half of applying, and YES I WAS TERRIFIED. I hadn't taken a science class since 2011, and had spent little time studying, so I did not feel too confident. When I saw my score, I was relieved I had passed, but still worried that it wasn't in the 90's. I have read that some people passed their HESI exam, but were still offered to retake it to get a higher score. After passing my HESI, I had to write a "purpose statement" about why I wanted to pursue nursing, and I mentioned how my work experience has impacted my choice in this career change. I was worried that my GPA & HESI score wasn't high enough, but I've also heard Fall is more competitive than other semesters, so I'm not too sure how the admissions committee truly decides.

Hi everyone, I recently was deemed academically eligible to start in the Spring 2019 semester (advisor said technically, I haven't been officially "accepted" since I still have to take my drug test + background check). I haven't seen too many posts for the Las Vegas campus - any possibilities that anyone will be attending Chamberlain in January as well? I've heard it's been a bit competitive for this campus. Also, my admissions process has been all over the place, but I wanted to see if the experience was the same for anyone else, or of it was just my admissions advisor?
