RN to BSN in NY

L8RRN · Jan 20, 2014

I did SUNY Delhi for one semester for one class. It went fine. I started a second class the next term and logged on the Wednesday before class officially started to read the syllabus, class info, etc. Nothing major and I waited to log back on the next Monday (when class officially started) at 10am and saw I had missed a GROUP assignment that was posted on Thursday night and due at 9am Monday. I then looked at my email and saw a nasty response from the instructor questioning why 2 of the people in my assigned group did not participate (me and another person). Well...class didn't start until MONDAY and nothing was on the website on Wednesday that there would be an assignment. I withdrew from the class and switched to Chamberlain. No clinical component with Chamberlain (there was with SUNY Delhi) and I was finished in 14 months vs 2 years at SUNY. It was back a few years ago and Delhi's program was still "new" at the time. I will say they were very apologetic when I explained why I wanted to withdraw and told me they would speak to the instructor, but I worked with several people who were going to Chamberlain and decided to make the switch anyway.

Chamberlain was quite a bit more expensive, but not having to deal with the clinical aspect was very appealing. I finished my BSN 2 1/2 years ago and don't regret it one bit. Good luck deciding!

I live in NY and finished up WGU earlier this year. Was extremely inexpensive and very quick. Have not had any problems with acceptance as it has all the relevant accreditations.
