I have witnessed it, it was so bad in the cardiac cath lab that I worked in (I was the only black nurse) that 4 nurses were suspended and I was allowed to go home with pay due to the comments I had witnessed. Being told "oh you're not like the other blacks" is absolutely sickening.

You know what's funny? I never see the complaints when it comes to #bluelivesmatter only black lives. If there were no need for the BLM movement to exist it wouldn't be there. We have a need for it just like we had a need a need for civil rights movement (which tbt we still need) and every other movement in the United States. It's not going anywhere unless there is real change and accountability. Don't like it? Well cry a river build a bridge and get over it

To the OP All I can do is pray to God neither myself or my family is ever treated by you as a nurse or a NP

I am starting the FNP program August 28th, my advisor said the classroom opens up the 22nd. I did not get any information about the clinical sites. I am in Saint Louis and we have a brick and mortar campus here.

I would have told him to f*ck himself.

As one poster put it "life is not fair" and that is true however, discrimination is illegal and if I had proof that she has discriminated in her hiring in the past I would most certainly file a complaint. I am sick of people having a "get over it attitude" when someone is discriminated against. Usually the ones that could care less don't care because it does not effect them in any way.

Sorry I can't answer your question I do have a question to ask you. Are you ROTC? I heard that's the only way to get in right now for new nurses.

I am a single mother, 4 children, youngest being 4 years old and the oldest is 14, I am at Chamberlain full time and work full time nights 40 hours per week at the hospital. YOU CAN DO IT. It is quite a task but if you have the motivation and drive you can do it!! I have just finished my med surge and pharmacology classes and start pediatrics on the 26th and many people said I would not be able to get through the 3 classes together (adult health, patho and fundies) but I did and then they said I wouldnt get through adult health and pharm and I did! I tell you that to tell you that it is feasible. I go to school Monday-Thursday with 12 hour clinical on Wed. I go to school Mondays 830-12, Tuesdays 830-3p, (with pre planning) Wed 7am to 7pm and thursday 1-5pm

Thank you thank you thank you

Hi Nikki, I'm Alecia I am a student at Chamberlain and have been here since fall 2012. I like the program so far but BOY is it intense when you reach your nursing classes

I absolutely enjoy and love clinicals besides the very early morning time! (My son daycare is not open yet so that has been a struggle) I was one of the only classes that was allowed to do fundamentals clinical at SLU hospital. Usually it is at a nursing home. Only recommendations I have is to eliminate ALL distractions. I had to delete my FB and IG page and focus on classes only. No time for anything else because it WILL show in your grades

Correction "been"

Mostly just reading and LOTS OF PAPERS lol one every week, I am in it now and only 1 week left with an A in the class THANK GOODNESS

I found it fairly easy online just tons of reading and note taking. You have to use exam guard when taking tests

You're right but for some reason it was listed as a must have text on the syllabus. I didn't know if it was different in the classroom or not because I took NR 222 online. I think it will depend on the instructor as well on if you actually use it. I just copied and pasted every textbook I had on the list for that class.
