I am switching over because I need more. The online portion is nuts. They give us like 5 chapters every other week and you have to read every chapter and then take a test over those chapters every other week. No lectures just chat room to discuss the chapters once a week and then we have skills lab 2 times a week. I personally think that it is way to much information for someone to learn on their own. It is very important and I am learning but like I said I need to be in a classroom so I can better understand everything. If anyone is reading this and you are thinking about going into the online program at chamberlain make sure this is what you want to do and it is definetly independent study. They say they will help you but good luck with that. Angie

I was accepted into the online ASN program at deaconess for the summer06 term but I switched over to the BSN program starting next semester. I am passing the online class but it is crazy. I was just wondering if there was any Chamberlain BSN students out there that can give me there thoughts about the BSN program before I actually start or if there is anyone who is starting this fall at Chamberlain maybe we could get to know each other and see if we are taking the same classes. Thanks Angie

Hi Nola201, Thanks for the feedback. I just talked to Kristen from DCN I am starting in July!! I had all of my questions answered and I am so excited. I did receive my packet. I will mail it back tomorrow with my deposit to hold my spot. I am looking forward to meeting and talking to any DCN students. Thanks Angie

I have been accepted to DCN for the Summer 06, but I am having second thoughts. I live in the St. Louis area and I know that you can go to labs on the weekends but it is the online part that makes me a little nervous considering how tough the material can be (so I have heard). I also have heard some people say that the hospitals around here in St. Louis will not hire DCN nurses due to the fact that it is an online program. If anyone can give me some info regarding this and maybe encourage me to go to DCN I would appreciate it. Angie

hi shomelggs, I spoke with someone from deaconess and she told me the same thing. That is a shame. I am just going to apply somewhere else and be put on a waiting list and then if deaconess gets to keep the online program then maybe I will consider, I dont really know now. Thanks for your reply Angie

Thank you for the heads up. I hope they dont drop the online program. angie

Hi I am just waiting to hear if I have been accepted to DCN for summer06. I talked to someone from DCN a few days ago and my file is complete they just need to review it. Just wondering if there is anyone else out there going to DCN in the summer06. Angie

Did you have all of your pre-reqs done before you applied? Thanks, Ang

Hi over30nursestudent, I was just wondering about how long did you have to wait to be accepted to DCN. And did you have to take any placement test. Thanks Ang

Congrats!!! I have been so undecided about which nursing school to go to but I have finally made my decision and have applied to DCN. I am just waiting to be accepted. I am so excited. Hopefully I can start in the summer06. Ang:)

I was just wondering how long did it take for you to get your results back from the NET test? I took it about 3 weeks ago and still nothing in the mail. Thanks Angie

Thanks steph Im not going to worry about the math anymore because it sounds simple and I will look at the reading portion. Angie

Hi Steph I am taking the NET test Saturday morning and I am a little nervous. Could you tell me if on the math part was there any word problems because those problems throw me off when they put them in a sentence. Also is the math just mainly fractions, decimals, ratio and percentages. Thank you Angie

Thanks, I will go there to look at that study guide.

Hi I am looking forward to starting in the spring of 06 at Jewish, would you recommend any certain instructors. I will be attending the evening and weekend classes.
