Hello everyone, Well I recently finished my BSN and applied to the online FNP program at Chamberlain. I have heard many pros and cons of this program, but overall I have definitely heard more positive things about it. Anyways, looks like I may be starting this October or January, and I am wanting to see if anyone from CA is in the program and/or has graduated and able to sit for the boards. I believe that as long as the school has accreditation you can sit for the boards in CA, but I may be wrong. I also wanted to start networking to see if there is anyone starting around the same time! Thank you!

Just got a call!!! I was accepted!! Woooohooo!!!!

Looks like I'm on the wait list :-) Guess that's better than nothing!

Congrats!!! That's so awesome!! You deserve it! I sure hope I hear something soon :-)

I left another message for the nursing department. They're probably so annoyed with me by now. I need to know because of work, I'd need to change my schedule. Anywho! I'll let you know what they say! Admissions never really gives me much of an answer, so I decided to go with calling the nursing department directly :-)

Me too!!! Good to know I'm not the only one! How was your interview?? Mine seemed so basic, and my written statement was awful I'm sure. I didn't know what to write!! We should know by next week!!!

I think GPA plays a part in it, but I'm not 100% sure :-( Sorry I can't give you a for sure answer on that! They just wanted my transcripts, didn't say if gpa was part of the selection process

It's such a long wait! Everything I call they say one more week. It's nerve wracking! Hopefully we get admitted :-) Itd be nice to be classmates! I wonder what takes so long?

No I haven't :-( Have you? They said it'd be the first week of April. And I interviewed in February! Ah!

Hi Diana! I'm thinking the interview is mandatory for admissions. When I called this Friday, they said they're still reviewing applicants. So that's good news for you! You may still get called for an interview. I applied to spring and the deferred me to summer. They may do the same to you :) If you applied towards the deadline they may have already been flooded with applicants, then they'll just move ya to the next semester. Either way, congrats on applying! I hope you get an interview! Feel free to ask me any questions about the interview :-)

Well it's the second week, has anyone heard anything? I know application deadline was Friday the 1st, but I'm just wondering if anyone has spoken to admissions or been accepted?

Good luck in getting in! With your drive you will get into a program before you know it :-) My situation was a little different because I applied to spring and the differed me to summer. But I'm wondering if maybe the application pool is smaller for summer? If your app said is pending maybe they'll all you soon! And congrats on the job btw! HH will be great experience for you. May I ask how you looked up your application status? I didn't know we could do that. I'll be sending good thoughts your way for an interview!

JeLi- I do have work experience, almost a year. But my interview was so short! And you don't need experience I think. I think they take new grad LVNs as much as seasoned ones. I'm sure it'll be way more competitive in the fall, hopefully we won't have to worry about it! I left them a message today trying to follow up. No return call. Let me know if you hear anything :)

It's 7 semseters. And it goes thru summer so about 2.5 years :-)

Btw, do you know what happens if we don't get admitted? Do we get to reapply? Thanks!
