This is alarming... Also, when I checked their accreditation page, there's this "This program is not approved or regulated by the Texas Workforce Commission." http://www.chamberlain.edu/about-nursing/chamberlain/accreditation. What is happening...

I suggest you call the NJ Board of Nursing. You don't want to waste your time, effort, and money. I hope you get a positive answer.

Hi! It is safe to say the program is easy once you're done, but it is not. Most classes, if not all, are writing-intensive. I did 2 classes per session (only one class the first time so I can get used to it), and I tried to write my paper/s for one class in advance on days that I was off from work. It won't work with DeVry classes though, because you're not able to view the discussion threads/assignments in advance. I did it in 11 months; graduated last February. Good luck to everyone. You can do it, too.

Chamberlain's curriculum is the most reasonable. The other schools require more classes ... I finished last week! Lunah, your posts and replies helped me a lot . Thank you.

We commonly get patients s/p externalization of VPS, and never did I get any complaints of sloshing sound. I would be scared to hear it.

3000/year, if it goes over 3000, to fill-out a commitment form to stay for 6 more months. basically, 100%...

Here's a comment from a resident that really ruined a nurse's day... Joy,RN (the best IVnurse in dayshift) was requested to insert an IV to a "hard-stick" pt. The resident came, and asked... "Is Linda,RN (fr. nightshift) still here?" Joy told the MD to never ask for another nurse when someone is already trying; then, walked out of the room.

You just got home, tired and stressed... and here's someone who comments... "Don't you just give meds?" DUH!

LunahRN, thanks a lot for the info. You have always been helpful. It's great to learn that you took Comp 100. Is it a paperwork-class again, with a huge one in the end? If not, I may decide to take it instead of Coding. I'm okay with computer. :) Keepitmoving, I am new, started in March with 1 class. This session I'm taking two. It's overwhelming because of the paperworks. Remember, each session is 8 weeks that's why lessons are all cramped up. If you decide to take two classes, be ready. It's not easy.

Hello. I am done with Transitions, and half-way through Advanced Comp. and Cultural Diversity. I am in a dilemma. I want to take 2 courses each session, but confused on choosing the right classes. I am so overwhelmed this session. I knew Adv. Comp will require a lot of writings, but didn't realize that Cultural Diversity has paperwork every week (plus a huge Research paper), quizzes, and a final. I need help from a fellow Chamberlain students/graduates. Please give me your suggestion. These are the classes I have left to take. Health Assessment Community Health Collaborative Healthcare Information Systems Evidence-based Practice I think I have to take Capstone by itself. It sounds huge. I also need to take an extra 2-credit class to fill the 1 credit hour that I am missing. They suggested COMP-100 Computer Applications for Business with Lab or HIT-202 International Classification of Diseases Coding I with Lab (I'm thinking of taking Coding). Thank you in advance for your help. :)

OMG! what a HUGE one!!! thanks roser... too bad can't be changed to Not.

found it... under catalog... :)

Thank you for the info, Luhah. How do we know the prereq for each class? Is it in the website? Thanks.

Hi Lunah. I am currently enrolled at Chamberlain, and so far it has been great. I started with one class to get used to online learning. Beginning next semester, I am planning to take two classes. I work full time, 3-12hr shifts and once/week per diem. You are the best resource person to ask; if you don't mind... can you given me an idea on which 2 classes can be paired up? I am scared to make a mistake on choosing two writing intensive classes. Next semester, they registered me for Adv. Composition and Cultural Diversity. The rest are: Health Assesment Community Health Nsg Collaborative Healthcare Information Systems for Healthcare Evidenced-Based Practice Capstone Course Thank you in advance for your help. :)

That's the kind of motivation I want to hear. Congratulations! BSN is within your reach!

Have tried almost every shoe... SAS is #1 for me, but way too expensive and no online purchase. I've been using Reebok... http://www.zappos.com/reebok-lifestyle-princess-white No complaints at all.

Thanks, Lunah... looking at their RN-BSN online. I am still waiting for transfer credits, and if the classes are less that the other schools I got accepted in, I'll go for Chamberlain. I read some of your posts. How was the Health Assessment class? Which classes require the most writing (I may take those classes separately)?

Is there a list of states that recognize Chamberlain Sch of Nsg? If you have a link, pls. post. Thank you.

thanks a lot oneDayOneDay! that information is a great help. :):)

I wish you all the best... hope you find a new home.

nothing against... i am foreign-born; english is not my first language, but went to nursing school here in the US. years ago, my husband (native-born) and i went out-of-state to visit a friend... stopped by a restaurant to eat. we asked for some directions, and i asked my husband if he knows where we're going. he gave me a look, and said, "i didn't understand half of what he said." the gentleman had a heavy accent, too; and an american.

lasted 2 weeks in our unit; didn't work. first, they tried shift report with all MDs and RNs; time-consuming. next, RN to RN; but, an RN who gets report from 3-4 RN usually leaves the floor late.
