RN to BSN

Hey everyone,

I am currently enrolled into the RN to BSN online program with Chemberlain college. I am looking to get some good or bad feedback from those who took it. It is a bit scary to go back to school, especially with a full time job. If anyone has any advice, please share. Thanks so much.

Hi, I don't belong to Chamberlain, but I do work fulltime and go to school. It is doable once you get a routine.

There used to be a Chamberlain forum. Look at online schools and see if it is there. :)

Thanks @tokmom. I will look into that forum.

It is doable. When i started CCN in 2013 i was working F/T,and had a 2yr old. While in school got pregnant and had the baby this month and finished this month February. Stay on top of your post and assignment. Only con is its expensive but i dont regret it because i learnt a lot. good luck

I just finished the RN-BSN program last week. It took me 2 years taking 1-2 classes at a time, working full time with 3 kids at home. It is a very flexible program. Make sure you stay on top of the discussion questions, they are usually worth more than half your grade. Use the "preview" week to check out your discussion questions for the entire 8 weeks. This really helped me. CCN was a wonderful program and I am continuing with my MSN-FNP and start in May. Good luck in your program.

Thanks for the feedback. I am considering Chamberlain as well for the RN-BSN program... only downside I keep hearing about is the cost of the program

Yep, that was the only downside for me. Luckily I already had a lot of credits coming into it, so I only needed 32 credits for my BSN. I also had employer reimbursement and a small scholarship to assist.

I'm in the same boat. I only need 10 classes to finish my BSN with them.... I'm a new RN and haven't received my nursing job yet... generally speaking, how long do you have to be employed at a job before you are eligible for tuition reimbursement?

I think it varies. The last trauma center where I worked as a civilian nurse (I'm Army now) required people to be there 6 months before tuition assistance benefits would kick in. It was pretty generous, though - up to 9 credits per semester or $5250 per calendar year.
