I've spoken to an admission counselor and she said the first year is all online. The second year requires about 15 hours of clinicals a week which is not much. So I intend on keeping my fulltime job...
I don't doubt that Chamberlain is not a respected school. I have a few friends enrolled in the BSN program. I guess it's just a personal preference to not choose for profit schools. I looked at...
