  1. Hi Jaime, Yes, I think 2 classes every 8 weeks is doable, working or not. You just need to be able to manage your time. I found the most time consuming classes were the non-nursing classes, stats,...
  2. I did collaborative and evidenced based practice together and they were totally doable. It looks like a lot of work but they were really all smallish assignments. I would usually bang out the...

    Competitiveness of MSN programs

    They do become nurses. They do a crammed intense version of nursing school full-time in their first year, sit for the NCLEX, then do another year for the Master's piece. It looks pretty intense from...

    St. Joseph's College: Maine

    I spoke to the admission people at St. Joseph's today and I'm applying. They are so nice. I have to say student services at Chamberlain has been super nice as well. As soon as I am done on June 20th,...

    Torn between FNP or PHMNP

    I believe this is the direction I'm going to go because I can get into an FNP program for this year but the PMHNP program I want to attend I would have to wait until fall 2011 to get in. I'm thinking...

    St. Joseph's College: Maine

    Hi Boonce, Congrats on starting your FNP program! How along do think the St. Joseph's program will take you to complete? I was trying to get a feel from the website if you could attend full-time or...
  9. I got an "A" in economics!!!!! I'm so happy and so relieved. So far the Capstone looks pretty good. I have my project worked out so hopefully the next 7.5 weeks will just fly by! I don't know how...

    Just search for Brent's Stat cave or something similar to that. It should bring you to what you are looking for. Sue,

    recent New Grad-- which job to take???

    Is there any way you can keep looking for a bit? If you love mother/baby and hate med/surg than you will not like LTAC. If it were me, I'd take the commute and the area of nursing you enjoy. It won't...

    surviving statistics ..........................

    The best advice I can give you is to attend the live lectures and to replay them as you work on the lab reports. Do the homework and make sure you meet the posting requirements on the discussion...
  13. I'm sorry . I'm waiting on my economics grade, I needed a 71 on the final to hold onto my A, I'll find out on the 29th if I got it or not. I'm hoping I did. It was a tough class. Sue,
  14. Good luck to you all! I'll be finishing up with Chamberlain this coming session and have really liked the program. I started last July and the time has flown by! Sue,
  15. I agree it is tough mostly because it was unfamiliar. I have an A so far but I spend my life at the library working on just this class. It is crazy but almost done. I start studying for the final...
  16. Hi Karen, Yes! I'm in economics right now and I'm very nervous about the final. Good luck! Sue,

    Do you guys really hate nursing this much?

    I think the person who wrote that needs to find another area of nursing to try. I don't care for bedside nursing. I enjoyed working with addicts, community health, occupational health, teaching and so...
  18. Thank you for the reply! Good luck on acceptance to your first choice! Sue,
  19. Hi Boonce, Have you found graduate programs are OK with the degree from Chamberlain? I'm looking into family psychiatric nurse practitioner programs and am nervous about coming from Chamberlain. I...
  20. Congrats!!! Yeah! Hopefully you'll hear about the FNP program

    How important is GPA while in Nursing school?

    You don't know what the future may hold. GPA has turned out to be very important as I apply to graduate programs. You may decide down the road to pursue advanced practice or education or...

    Overwhelmed Student

    You will be OK!! Try to relax a little. Make sure you do your checks, it is OK to ask another nurse to eyeball it for you or to double check it with you. I'm far -more- concerned about the students...
  23. I chose Chamberlain. I started last July and will be done in June. I would of been done in April but only took one class this session. I have taken 9 classes with Chamberlain, 1 more to go. My...
  24. I have and all of the schools I have spoken with are fine with me being from Chamberlain. I have been re-thinking things, I may start right back in this July in Chamberlains Master's in Nursing...
  25. I am having a hard time in economics this time. I even dropped the capstone and will take it in April now. I just can't seem to understand it. I am pretty sure my 4.0 will be blown on this class. I...
