As I mentioned before, Chamberlain (as I imagine are most online programs) are best for self motivated people who are able and willing to put the time in. The BEST thing about the Chamberlain program is that they purchase and FNP review for you in t...

Walgreens and CVS are constantly taking students. They have a pretty streamlined process, just don't miss the application deadline. I did a portion of my first clinical session there (I ended up adding an urgent care, because the CVS' in northern ...

sorry it took so long to respond! I graduated in Feb 2016 and just passed my ANCC exam. I am grateful for a program that allows the flexibility that I needed in my circumstances, but Chamberlain is, in my opinion, similar to a self study program. ...

I'm a graduate. Let me know what questions you have.

I actually begin clinicals Tuesday at CVS' minute clinic. I am on course to finish feb '16. I do like the program. They are making some necessary adjustments inter program which will make it flow better. I would suggest it for anyone who is self ...

I received my RN to BSN from Chamberlain in December 2010, and I am currently in Chamberlain's FNP program. You are given $100 off per credit hour as an alumni who is attending Chamberlain for a Master's degree, which was a plus. I had heard (throu...

NR510 - leadership. I started in september 2013, but it looks as though some students may have doubled up on classes, so i will not be in the first graduating class

I was constantly speaking to my advisor to decide if Chamberlain program was right for me. I submitted my application and received notification in a week, but I received it from my advisor while I was on the phone. She was able to sign me up for cl...

I have a practicum advisor at Chamberlain. I have to give her the facilities that I am hoping to precept, then she sets it all up. I have one that I would love to go to, then a back up... To be honest, I am going to submit a 3rd back up just in cas...

Quime, are you in the FNP track? I may be wrong, but I believe you may be the first wave of students going through the advanced physical assessment course. I am also in the first graduating class, but I wanted to complete all the non-clinically bas...

First question, okay, 50/50.....A or C..... hmmm...A.... "next".....2nd question.....what? What are they asking? These are all right, and there are no indicators in the question showing priority. Can I ask them "is this patient stable?" "how old are ...

Taking my third class. No tests all papers.

I received my ADN to BSN from Chamberlain College of Nursing. I was very happy with the program... here is how I would rate it. 10/10 - convenience (including applying, access to classrooms and contact with teachers) 7/10 - quality (i have to be hon...

Be sure to be especially aware of symptoms that be indicate emergencies like abruption, imminent delivery, preeclampsia, etc. You always have to be prepared for these even though they can be rare (preeclampsia isn't all that rare to be honest). One...

hazelstudent, yes, if it is her first pregnancy, she is a G1P2. As far as fundal height, it can be in a number of locations. You would be more worried about how firm it is and how much she is bleeding (or the number/size of clots she is producing)....

If you send me your email, I will send you my mother/baby report sheet.

Upon admission, a newborn's vital signs are taken (heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, sometimes Oxygen saturation if baby is having questionable respiratory effort or blood sugar check if there were risk factors). If a baby is cold (a common ...

You read my mind, i found a good post from a discussion here.... https://allnurses.com/nicu-nursing-forum/nicu-end-shift-444284.html

I have worked in mother/baby for about a year, and I also created my own report sheet. It is very comprehensive. Anyone who would like it, email me (click on the envelope next to luvofnursing to do this) and give me your email and I will send it to...

Don't pass up opportunities to work in mother/baby. I am currently on this unit, and I feel it has given me a great base of information for an easier transition to NICU. You get to learn everything about a healthy baby, which helps you recognize wh...
