Thanks! ? I’ll be attending the Vegas location as well. My admissions rep told me she is 90% sure that my classes will still be online because there are allegedly more cases of COVID in LV area. As for labs she says they will be held on campus but other than that they will keep the campus closed from people being there.

Just giving an update. I got a call about two weeks ago that I was accepted but put into a alternate entry seat. Meaning if someone drops from the program before it starts I’d be on a list of people to take their spot. Then last week I received a call that someone had dropped from their entry seat and that I would now be bumped into and actual seat that starts January 4. Tomorrow I’ll be doing a virtual meeting with my admissions counselor and someone else to cover costs, background/drug test, potential graduation date, cost to me for the program, etc.I’ll report back afterward. I hope to see you guys there in classes. ?

That’s awesome. As long as you go over that you should be in. Don’t quote me on it. I’m still waiting on mine as well. I had to send in a transcript from a university I attended. Then it was lost for a few days. But I spoke with my counselor she says I should be reviewed this Wednesday. So I hope to have an update soon so I can make that move to LV soon. what did you transfer in?

No I didn’t think it was that hard. Just study the study guides and you should be good. The part that surprised me was the math. I’d done up to Calc 2 and that was my lowest scored section out of the entire exam ??‍♂️ It was a little embarrassing hahaha. But you should be OK.

I’m sure since they are going to cover all of your transfer classes you’re accepted. If not they’d have no reason to move forward with a second appointment. At least that’s the way it played out for me when I was accepted the first time here in Texas. I should be hearing something back this week or next on whether I’ve been accepted or not. I did ask my admissions representative if I had a chance of being accepted once again. She looked at my file and told me there’s no reason I should not get a positive response one day once the decision review board have reviewed my files. So maybe we will be in classes together!

The minimum GPA is 2.75. As far as I know they require you to do the HESI. Initially when I talked to the admissions rep she told me that I would have to take it. But she said that I would have to schedule a test time with them and I could take it on my laptop wherever I’m at as long as I have a camera on my laptop or computer. She told me this because she knows that I am in Texas at the moment. I would say give them a call they are pretty open to answering whatever questions you have. And right now is the perfect time to get your application submitted as well as start the process of trying to get admitted. If you need the number I can give it to you just let me know.

Just wondering if anyone else is applying or has been accepted to the January 2021 cohort. I am currently in west Texas working in the oil fields. I absolutely hate it. I applied and was accepted to the Pearland Chamberlain campus back in 2017. I completed Nurs-103 and had to stop attending for personal reasons. But I reached out recently to apply for the Las Vegas campus. I've talked a second time with admissions and updated my app for the January start date. I was told since I am a former student I don't need to retake the HESI. All im waiting for is for the evaluation board to review my file and accept me. So I wanted to start this thread for admitted or potentially admitted students so we can get to know each other and network together.

I am applying for the Las Vegas Campus. I attended one session in Pearland, TX (2017) and had to stop after completing the class there for personal reasons. I literally just spoke to admissions about an hour ago. I don't have to retake the HESI. I really didn't have to do anything. We just updated my information over the phone and she told me she will present my packet to the evaluation board to get approval for the start of January 2021 cohort.

For my semester I originally signed up for Session1: Critical reasoning - Online Transition into the Nursing Profession - On campus meeting every Thursday 0800-1150 Session2: Principles of Ethics - Online Health and Wellness - On campus meeting every Mon. & Tue. 0900-1150 The first session ends this coming week but I was dropped from the online course because I could not access it initially due to the Hurricane and power outages in our area. So I am only taking Transition which is the easiest class you will take in the program. No tests no final just easy work. The rest of the program is going to be intense though. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I am currently finishing my first session here at the Pearland campus. Chamberlain accepted a total of 47 credits for prereqs. There are only 3 prereqs that I am missing( Principles of Ethics, Critical Reasoning, and Statistics). With that being said I have the ability to take those prereqs with the regular nursing courses without it holding me back from moving on through the program at any point. The least amount of time anyone can spend at Chamberlain is 2 years and 8 weeks from what I was told by two different student service advisors. 8 weeks isn't much of a difference if you think about it so I say go for it. But I definitely recommend doing all of your prereqs at a community college before applying to Chamberlain so it is cheaper in the long run.

I think you should drop by the campus and speak to someone about that

Thanks, I appreciate it. What other places are you looking at? I didn't get to start in May so I am starting for the September start date. Already registered!

It's actually just mostly logistics of the process. Once you have done the HESI you have a meeting to cover finances and how the program works. Then you have the background/fingerprint/drug checks and the rest is just waiting to get to orientation but it seems they are a little slow at processing everything and pretty understaffed when it comes to admissions reps because it's kinda hard to get in touch with anyone there. If you leave a message it takes 2-5 days to get a returned call. I'm guessing they are busy with an influx of applicants but they need to hire more staff so they can keep up with the demand and answer questions we all have.

832-664-7000 is the number given from google. But I have called and it redirected me to the national hotline several times in the past but they can put you in touch with someone once they have your information. But usually the desk clerk answers. But maybe she can set up an appointment for you to sit down with someone and go over your paperwork and questions. Let me know how it goes. .

Who did you speak with? I would have called back and asked to speak to another rep or maybe the dean. I'm pretty sure they won't really articulate any nursing classes over because they want to make money off of you by making you take theirs. Also I guess there is a minimum grad for any courses they would accept and that is a B. I had already completed pharmacology before but I got a C and they didn't give me credit for that class either. But it sounds like you may be getting a better deal with the other school so why not go with that one it would put you further ahead if they really are accepting that many credits. But if you're really interested in Chamberlain request a different admissions rep and go from there. I'm curious as to whom it was that hung up on you though. I have had Jennifer Pena and Deanna Morgan as my admissions rep. Both were nice but Jennifer is a little less likely to return a call and a little more offputting at times.
