Hi everyone, This is my very first post on this website. I usually love to read others' comments rather than write on website forums, however, I need an insightful advice about chamberlain college of nursing in Phoenix. I had applied for two nursing programs: Grand Canyon University & Chamberlain. For Grand Canyon I needed to retake some classes to raise my gpa, but I got accepted to chamberlain right away. I am starting chamberlain next week and due to some reviews I'm not sure if it's worth it anymore. A few days ago, I met somebody who gave some information on chamberlain, apparently, she studied medical billing at chamberlain and because she couldn't find a job in her field after graduation, she worked as 911 operator for years. She also told me that they go very easy on students especially on grades because they want to have a high passing rate-- their accreditation & passing rate is exactly the same as GCU-- she also told me that there is no job for new nurses from Chamberlain in phoenix area because all directors are very well familiar with how chamberlain works and they would rather take someone from GCU or ASU rather than chamberlain. Recently, I also have troubles with them because they don't accept most of my transferring credits. I was okay with the expensive tuition and repeating some classes again for the sake of becoming a nurse, but I'm starting to think if I don't find a job after I graduate like this woman told me, then I can't pay back my loans, then what's the point of going to chamberlain. I want to know if any of you knows about chamberlain or any nurse that has graduated from it & if what this woman is said is the truth. Do you guys think, it's better to retake the courses needed by GCU and apply there by summer instead? Thank you, I appreciate all your comments =)
