Thanks for that info. I'm hoping in being able to complete the online RN-BSN program at Chamberlain by early next year. Since I am a new grad RN, I want to get some experience under my belt before diving into an MSN. After doing some research, I've d...

Hello, I was just wondering if you've already looked into MSN programs. Did you have any particular schools in mind? I was looking into Drexel University's online program and was wondering if that was one of your school choices. I am hoping that they...

I have yet to start with Chamberlain, but I was under the impression that if there was any difficulty with any of the instructors that we could contact an advisor so they could get on top of it. I was told that they are very selective of the instruct...

I recently finished a nursing program but had a run in with a clinical instructor at the beginning. I was a bridge student, who was still actively working full time as an LVN while in the program. During my very first clinical, I had volunteered to g...

Hello, I am due to start the RN-BSN online program at Chamberlain in April. Only just learned about this program through allnurses.com :) Almost ended up at Kaplan University, but figured that this program would cost about the same and I would be abl...

I have to agree with the last post. I just graduated this past January and acquired my license in February. I started networking right away, not just with people I knew but also with the staff at the hospitals where I had clinicals. I secured an inte...

Hi, I believe that their next start date is in April, but don't quote me. The prereq's are English, Math (college algebra), Psychology, Sociology, Anatomy and Physiology I, Anatomy and Physiology II, Microbiology, and Speech. I have a friend who is a...

i haven't decided yet...i need to still finish up some lower division classes, so i'm planning on doing those online w/ community colleges...i'm trying, as much as possible, to keep cost down...i'm currently working at a local hospital, but i'm still...

thanks kocheli, i have to say that I'm one of the few people in the program that continued to work full-time throughout due to necessity...i wished that it could have been different since it took a lot away from studying...i work 12 hour night shifts...

2 more weeks of school.....and I can't seem to get myself to do anything anymore...i'm just so tired of studying and writing papers...considering that I've done my whole program while working full-time night shifts as an LVN has just had me spent......

Thanks....I feel like I'm going to be doing the same thing...I figure that I'm passing regardless, I was just hoping to raise my GPA since last semester killed it for all of us that passed the whole semester...I thought that my 2nd semester was bad s...

thanks...you're so right...i haven't been able to absorb anything...i tried shopping and that didn't seem to work, which is weird if you truly knew me...i decided to try a different environment today to see how that works out...oh well...

the instructors will usually send out your reading assignments before the next semester starts (this is only in regards to the actual nursing courses)...don't count on getting your schedules right away...some give them out earlier than others

the semesters are about 4 months long...with the one week off before the start of a new semester

Thanks JessicaLynn412...I really wish I could take off from work, but I'm financially unable to do that at this point...I have a feeling I'm going to end up not being able take time off to study for the NCLEX when the time comes...I'm hoping to at le...

Look into Interamerican College also since you already have a BS...it isn't the prettiest school, but you go straight into a BSN for cheaper...it's in National City...it's up an coming since many aren't aware of the schools nursing program. They were...

I had the same problem, so I ended up enrolling at National University to take the sciences I needed since my lower division sciences were done...about $1500 a class (not sure if they've raised it in the last 2 yrs) but I was able to complete all 3 c...

my group is in teal....the group behind us is all mixed, but primarily burgandy....i heard that they were changing the color again, but i can't be certain...for clinicals, it was all over the place...first clinical rotation was teal tops with white b...

LOL...at least there won't be any distractions except for the ones you come up with to get you away from studying...for awhile i was baking cookies...over the cookie phase...today it's allnurses for me...i just can't get myself to study or do any of ...

hi Emilynn09, Some CSU's accept students on a case by case basis. The only way to know if they will take you is to interview with them after attaining your RN license. If you are taking any GE's at Kaplan, you might be able to CLEP (many universities...

we have multiple computers here, but i was pretty limited since i was hardly at home...i would say that you'll definitely have free time since you're lucky enough not to have to work...i mean, some people struggle more than others..i think that is th...

i'm jealous...my husband had to take care of the kids...when i started my baby had just barely turned a year old...thank goodness it's almost over...make sure to stay organized, that was the worst thing for me because i literally had no time to get o...

it's almost like the class was made up...lol...

I really don't have much to complain about in regards to the program. The schedule is all over the place, but they warn you about that from the beginning. For instance, I had Sunday clinicals during my 2nd semester. During this final semester, we had...
