Please don't waste your time with Chamberlain; the clinical portion of the program is a complete joke. I actually didn't mind the first year in the program; it was fairly easy and went rather quick....
Hey 1TraumaNurse, no I don't think you get charged for registering and dropping a course because I did it last Summer just so I could get the syllabus for research ; ). I tried to register today for...
Hey sbeckett09, I'm one class behind you... I take Epidemiology in January and start Patho in March. My main concern about the program-- especially in the core courses-- is the short semesters....
