    stressgal replied to RiderRN's topic in School, College Programs

    stressgal replied to 45044572's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Convenience and time. The local college (Big 10 University)would have required me to take another chemistry, the classes are held three days a week, and another nutrition class. It just wasn't...

    I started Chamberlain last October and will complete before Christmas. Would have been done sooner but I took the last eight weeks of summer off. I have been very pleased with the program. Good

  5. Chamberlain Papers To Write

    stressgal replied to maddienurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, you will need to write and submit your papers in APA format. I purchased the APA handbook, an essential resource. I also purchased the APA formatting software but found it a bit cumbersome to...

    stressgal replied to esrun00's topic in Online Distance Learning

  7. Chamberlain On Line Bsn

    stressgal replied to maddienurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sounds like a great plan at a fabulous price. The Univeristies in my area required much more course work for the RN-BSN transition. One required an extra chemisty class which was held four days per...

    stressgal replied to maddienurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I will finish with the RN-BSN online this December. I'm taking this 8 weeks off and have three classes to go. (WOOHOO!) I agree with RockyCreek that it is costly, yet I received good transfer credits...

    stressgal replied to iLovemyJackRT's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I too work in a unit with RN's that have been there 20-30 years. Boy are a couple of them tough on the new folks. Ride them like show ponies. I somehow got past them, I think I pretty much just...

    stressgal replied to 45044572's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A coworker completes his BSN in 2 weeks and a couple of us are at different stages in the process. I'm about a third of the way through the Chamberlain RN-BSN online. It's gone well and is suprisingly...

    First, step back and take a deep breath. I do not the content you were tested on so my advice would be to talk with your instructor. Ask to go over the exam, figure out why you answered the way you...
