You don't have to wear scrubs to class except clinicals. Their dress code for classes is almost thesame for any other school out there.All these I think is in their code of conduct or one of those other forms which I can't remember.

Ok this is my own personal piece and I hope it helps.....First, I just got accepted into the spring semester 2011 and yes sincerely I have my fears, anxieties, no prior CNA,PCT or medical experience whatsoever. Yes people complain they hate their jobs but you and only you know the reason you are on this career path. Of course, some of us have been burnt out without being nurses which I think is normal as long as it's not frequent. Anyways, my point is nursing school is a school to learn all of these things and yes you will have classes, labs, clinicals, studying and practicing to help you perfect yourself and after few years, there are other fields within nursing career you may want to consider. For me, my long term goal is to be a nurse educator, so all these emotions you are experiencing to me are ok as long as they don't get the best of you.

Hi am not sure where you are located however, you can look up chamberlain college of nursing though it's pricey however it's accelerated,accredited and about 4 locations or more in the U.S area. They accepted all of my credits from another institution and I begin with nursing courses. They make their decisions within 1-2 months but you will have to submit official transcripts of all institutions attended and take the Hesi A2 test but speak with someone in their admissions and compare with other schools you have in mind. You can check out their website too which is chamberlain.edu and see things for yourself. Hope this helps

Hey, I don't think your scores are that bad. Anyways, I got accepted into the campus at Jacksonville for the march 2011 semester. My GPA was 3.2 and Hesi score was about 86 but I already hold a bachelor's degree.

Hello Denice, I had my 1st bachelor's degree in Clayton state although it's healthcare management. As far as I know for the nursing, they(clayton state) have a very good nursing program-highly competitive(lots of nursing schools are). I know of their entrance exam which is NET, not sure if they have an exit exam but if they do, I don't think it's that bad. Alot of my friends did their BSN there, graduated and passed the NCLEX on their first try. Personally, I didn't pursue clayton state because I was asked to retake A&PII and microbiology cos I had C's in them and remember, due to the competitiveness, classes taken more than once may be put into consideration. Anyways, I got accepted in FL.:)

Good luck flcop2nurse......I wish you the very best and I will def keep intouch so I can have your sincere opinions about the school and program. Yeah, I think I will spend about a year+ too. I would have love to begin in oct like u but I'll be moving from out of state(Georgia), so I need to prepare financially nd mentally. Thanks again

Hello flcop2nurse, I haven't spoken to my advisor yet but the admissions there(Jacksonville) were very helpful. I'm from out of state and I did everything via emails,phone and fax and got prompt answers back. As for the credit for CCN100, I know nothing about it but all my credits that counted towards their nursing program were accepted. As it is, I already have 60 credits and need 69 to get my BSN, though I have a first degree in healthcare management. Anyways, when do you plan to start?I got in for the March 2011 semester. Please keep me posted on the program in jacksonville, thanks.

Pls mom2chaos, can you honestly tell me your experience at the Jacksonville campus.......Anything at all will be great. I will be starting in march 2011 and I just need heads up as to the pros&cons of this school and program in general. Thanks

Hey Las16, did you do the BSN not the RN-BSN because I have just been accepted in the BSN-Jacksonville campus and I know they are accredited and all but how long did it take you to complete the BSN program if that's what you did and if you already have all your pre-reqs, basically you are starting with the nursing classes, like how long will it take?

Hello Mema1, I have some questions about this school/program. I hope you can help. First did you do your program at the Jacksonville campus and how was it. Secondly, since I have all my pre-reqs in which all were accepted, how long does it take for me to finish the program and is there a summer semester? Does Chamberlain have a good reputation because I have heard few good stories about devry and tons of not so good stories and I know they are part of devry? Lastly, I know they are accredited and once you pass the Nclex, you licensed to practice, do employers look at the school you graduate from or your license is all that matter? Thanks in advance, and depending on your answers I just might have more questions.:)

Well focus well on your math, then like Christine2009 said, focus on the grammar and all.Also, there are some practice comprehension questions online. I went to google and typed up comprehension practice for Hesi and I used some of teas comprehension practice online cos I knew I don't do well on comprehensions. Also, study the vocabs on the evolve reach textbook, it actually helped me. For A&P, there are some practice questions too on each systems(e.g circulatory etc), just search on google. I hope these help.
