Anyone know anything about this school? Good, bad? Thank you :)

accreditation:

  • chamberlain college of nursing is accredited by the higher learning commission and is a member of the north central association, www.ncahlc.org.
  • the bsn program is accredited by the national league for accreditation commission (nlnac) and the commission on collegiate nursing education (ccne).

chamberlain is accredited with the nln for sure (i've personally contacted both the school & nln to assure this and they were both very helpful). my only concern lies within the "fully or conditionally approved by the bon" (as discussed with jolie). the illinois center for nursing (under idpr) lists chamberlain on their website, however i have contacted them specifically to ask about the programs partial or complete approval from bon, and am waiting for a response. jolie, just so i am clear--- i know for sure they are accredited, but now i need to understand if they are approved by bon, to make sure i will be able to sit for the nclex upon program completion? thank you so much for your continuous help.

also, as a sidenote, chamberlain in addison does not offer an associates degree program, only bsn and rn to bsn--- and their tution is about $19600 for year round ($6552 per semester). that's actually not bad compared to other bsn programs in the area.

THOUGHT I WOULD POST THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED. THANKS AGAIN, JOLIE, FOR HELPING ME KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND ASK. IT WAS GOOD FOR ME TO RESEARCH ALL OF THIS.

Chamberlain College of Nursing is on the Division's Listing of Approved

Nursing Education Programs. There is always the potential for a nursing

education program to lose approval if their pass rate falls below the

required level; however, that is not a usual occurrence. If a program

is approved when you enter, the Division historically would honor the

current programs students in the unlikely event the program is

disapproved.

I hope my response sets your mind at ease. Good luck in your chosen

profession.
