RN TO BSN ONLINE THROUGH CHAMBERLAIN

Updated:   Published

Hello all, thank you for stopping by to peek at my post.

Has anyone gone through or is currently enrolled in Chamberlain's ONLINE RN to BSN program? A little background: I am a new grad (ADN) and just received my RN License. I have been working as a LVN and since we're still in a pandemic, I thought this would be a great opportunity to continue my education. I may transition to a RN role in the future within my current department at work.

I realize transitioning as a new RN and a new job can be overwhelming on its own. However, that's the reason I chose this program because I hear that it is less rigorous in comparison to other RN-BSN programs.

If anyone has anything to say about this program, pros/cons, tips, how the program and instructors are, how to save on money and tuition, advisor preference, how many classes are recommended to take at a time, anything, it would be greatly appreciated!

Also, just wondering, does anyone know if Jazz appreciation would cont as a humanities class or elective? Please and Thanks in advance!

Less rigorous? You mean easy? LOL. It's not difficult in terms of subject matter, but you have to do the work - discussion posts and projects, learning/using APA format, etc. 

An enrollment advisor would be the only person who could tell you which of your credits will transfer. Good luck!

HI, 

I am in the same boat as you. Im just starting my new grad program and want a school that will be flexible and supportive. Many of my friends say Chamberlain is definitely doable while working full time. I just spoke to one the admission advisors and she's processing my evaluation to see what classes I would need to take. 

When are you looking to start the program, if you do decide to?

Hi Stef! I am looking to start January 2021. I believe the start date is 01/04/2021. I am currently taking two electives right now online (Sociology and Theology). I'm really hoping to have to take the bare minimum of classes with Chamberlain. I know a former coworker and classmate who graduated and finished in under a year which is enticing to me! When are you looking to start?

Hi, I'm hoping I only have to take the bare minimum classes too. Thankfully they're only 8 weeks so time will still go by fast. My coworker also mentioned how much she enjoys Chamberlain and she's about to finish also, she just applied for graduation. I'm looking to start October 2020. The admission advisor is in the process of completing my evaluation to see how many classes I need to take.

Hi, 

I am on the phone with them now! Seems to be so great! I am looking at starting one class in Novemeber which would be great if you are starting then too!

Hi rmc65,

Have you started your RN-BSN (online) classes? If so, how do you like it so far?

Hi Stef, 

Yeah they told me the novemeber classes start on october 26th and that it would be the transition into professional nursing. I would probably only just take this one class cause I'm currently enrolled at another college right now taking 2 classes. How is everything going with chamberlain for you?
