I wanted to begin another thread so it was noticed. I am interested in finding out who else is gearing up to begin Chamberlain in a couple of weeks. How is it going? Are you getting the info you need to prepare? or are you a bit discouraged by the ...

I finally got word that my loans were refunded this week. I was told that I would have to sign some paperwork that would require me to 'keep quiet', however have yet to get it in the mail. I am looking at another local program, and am scheduled to ...

The BON is closing the online program due to low pass rates on the NCLEX. I am not surprised that you don't know about this, but I'd talk to your advisor to see where you stand.

"Moms Family Desk Planner" by Boynton, has cute illustrations and a seperates family and mom. At barnes and noble for about 13 bucks.

One huge question I had while I was deciding what to do was (they were dangling a carrot by saying that approval in my state was just on the horizon), but I asked myself: If I manage to finish the program and get my diploma from this school in the wa...

grad2be- Does this mean you won't be able to finish? I guess this might explain why I haven't gotten my loans reversed yet....they are pretty busy out there. This is horrible!

Yeah...me too, everytime you call there is a new staff member, they say one thing and then do another....$528 per credit hour and climbing is an insane amount of money for a teach yourself program. I am ready to move on, but entering into another p...

ITT Tech in Indianapolis has a new RN program, it's new enough to not have pass rates postes yet, but it seems like a solid program. It may be worth checking inot while you are researching. Good Luck!

For those of you that have 'left' Chamberlain and recieved their student loan money back....how long did it take to get it all taken care of? It has been about 7 weeks since I spoke with Dean L. and Ms. M regarding my options, I haven't gotten any th...

One word.... RUN! Not worth the heartache, headache, disappointment, and expense!

I would be interested in hearing from others and what state you are from. I have tried to find someone else in Indiana (CCN claims that there is a current student doing very well from Indianapolis-but won't contact them on my behalf, even for a stu...

I started in 10/06 also. I went to St L to practice my skills once in Jan and then in Feb for the Validations. It cost alot more to travel than I originally planned and I ended up borrowing money from family to manage. Gas is so high right now tha...

Hospictec- I am curious if you and I were in any classed together. I have been with CCN for just about a year. Never made it on the Deans list, but my grades were still good. You are so right, we do pour our hearts and souls into this, and our fam...

That was my 'master plan' as well, timewise, I would finish up my BSN at just the right age (10) for my youngest to be able handle being on her own for a few hours (there would be a teen still at home as well -to clarify) so I would have a bit more f...

This is very interesting! Yeah I passed Fundamentals with a solid B, while at the time I felt that they needed to make many changes to the delivery of nursing type classes, I passed.....if I am 'allowed' to continue I think I should take the first ...

First of all, is there any info, other than rumors about the state visit? Although, rumors pretty much nailed it last time, so I'd be interested in 'hearing' what is flying around. PM me if you would prefer.... I don't know if I posted this or not,...

Congrats on finding what is best for you and your family! That sometimes is the biggest hurdle. The issues with Chamberlain certainly brought me to pause and reflection. Best of luck to you!

A local student should do well, out of state students aren't being admitted right now due to issues with clinical placements. The worst thing about the program is tha fact that you have very little interaction with instructors, you pretty much teach...

NiKNik- Why giving up nursing? Is it the trouble with chamberlain?

I would call the school and ask if you can apply, if I remember correctly my application went in around May/June '06 and yes I got accepted, however as I am an out of state student things have changed alot in the last year. If you are out of state y...

TaDaaa! Yep, this is a problem, I have been informed by the school of my options, however none are realistic....still waiting on final word as to $$$$...we shall see....

Nurse104-congratulations on your acceptance, things will go really well in the first semester, then it gets a bit nuts in the second, get used to calling them often, yes it is their job...so don't ever think that you shouldn't call them. And to answ...

I did directly go to the hospital I wanted to do my rotations at, the one that I also want to work at someday...I got a very positive response from the DON, very postive!!!!!!!!!!! All they needed to place me with a preceptor was a contract from Cha...

I posted a huge warning to out of state students and it was removed, but you guys need to be aware of this! I was asked last week to either leave the program or committ to traveling to MO once a week. ANd no I wasn't asked to leave because I can't h...

LTNurse- You don't know HOW BAD I NEEDED TO HEAR what you posted, thanks! I am feeling very discouraged and have been ready to walk away, but hearing from others that have succeeded helps me stay focused.
