  1. Chose your precepting department VERY carefully!!!

    Thank you! That is really good advice, especially in this job market. Good luck to you!
  2. I am meeting with my advisor to schedule classes on thursday, but I was wondering if you could help me with a small question. How does the scheduling work? I know that some of the classes for Gen ed are online, but when there is an actual class are ...
  3. I don't live there, but I just ran into a site called Seeking Sitters.com. Its a service that connects you to highly qualified babysitters and you sign up and then are matched with a sitter. Basically you can call the service the day before or whatev...
  4. Is anyone commuting really far away?

    Hence why I am moving to Arizona. I live in Michigan so the thought of driving 45 minutes WITHOUT snow is ... well, priceless. I feel for all you people living with the snow, it really sucks. I look at my 45 minute drive as a time to think, decompre...
  5. Looking in Scottsdale, AZ

    When I was looking I found a really nice apartment that was reasonable... I don't know what you think is reasonable, but for Scottsdale it was about $800 for a 2 bedroom. It is Camden San Paloma, at the corner of Shea and Scottsdale road.
  6. Question about loans and financial aid

    I got loans for my second bachelor's... but I don't know if that is true for getting two associates. I know lots of people that are going back for a second bachelors and are getting financial aide.
  7. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    CONGRATS! I would say see you in the fall, but you are way ahead of me.
  8. I am trying to get ready to start this fall... but I can't find the answer to this anywhere on the website and I can email my advisor but I really don't want to bug her. Do you have to wear the scrubs to class? to lab? How many pairs do you have once...
  9. Students that already go to Chamberlain... Question about Scrubs

    Mystique... THanks. Where do you buy your scrubs? I was wondering about the pants b/c I have a weird shaped body and it makes me nervous to order pants online. Do they have the right color anywhere?
  10. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    I understand what you mean... I have 1 class in block 1 and one class in block 2 to take, but I have taken 2 classes in block 3 already so it should even out if I can take them at a different time and catch up. At least I hope. They haven't reviewed ...
  11. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    I think I might be in block 3 too! I figured it out based on what I have already taken - A&P 1 and 2, etc. It will just depend on what will transfer for me... You can find the curriculum grid on their website.
  12. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    I forgot to add that it said CONGRATULATIONS new student... blah blah blah about getting a packet in the mail and what to do next (which is on the website anyway).
  13. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    I just checked and it was sent at 1:26pm (not sure if that is my time - eastern, or mountain time). However, I emailed my advisor and got an automatic reply that she was out of the office. She was the one who sent me the email. So maybe you won't he...

    For those of you waiting for the 29th decision... I found out the day after so check your email! I will be crossing my fingers for you!
  15. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    ... OK... I was just trying to be helpful.
  16. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    Now that I think about it, I was told it was thursdays as well... did your advisor call you?
  17. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    I have heard before that most people that get put on hold do get in. They are just waiting for a larger pool of people, there may not be so many to compare with that are applying this early. Chin up, I think you will be a classmate of mine come Oct.!
  18. Single Moms... How do you do it?

    I am set to start NS in the fall. I know it is going to be tough, but I am starting to freak myself out b/c I am a single parent to two kids under 4 (no father). I do have some help from my mom, and they will be going to daycare, but am I crazy for t...
  19. Single Moms... How do you do it?

    I guess I got a little worried when I read that some places you had to go to the hospital the night before clinicals and get assigned a patient and then have to do all this work the night before and then go the next day. I would have to plan for even...
  20. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    No answer on the GED, but I wanted to tell you to check your spam box b/c my acceptance letter was emailed to me, but it was hiding in my spam box. I didn't get it until 3 days later - 3 days of worrying for nothing. Good Luck!
  21. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    I have never had a problem, but I always email them, I rarely call. She always gets back to me within a day or so. As for the GPA question, I think you have a chance! When are up for review? And your test score is good too. Fingers Crossed!
  22. Official Nursing Students!

    Got my acceptance on Friday and start in October. I have to move my family across the country, but I cannot wait to start this new chapter in my life! Congrats to everyone!
  23. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    I actually applied awhile ago. I applied in April b/c I am in Michigan and I was able to get down there and take the test and stuff. I knew I couldn't move my family by the time the July class started, so they kind of put my file on hold until they w...

    OH HELL NO. RUN RUN RUN out of this god-forsaken state. There are some great programs here, but the waitlists are disgusting. One school near me (Schoolcraft Community College) now has a 4-5 year wait for ADN. I mean, REALLY? Who has that kind of tim...
  25. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    I don't want to freak you out, but I had a 94% for the part they actually count and a 92% overall. BUT I have heard of a ton of people getting in with scores in the 82-86% range. What is your gpa? If you do take it over, really really focus on studyi...
