I graduate from chamberlain this week , I loved the school, nursing school is not easy , you need to study and write papers , but it is durable . Dont listen to people what they tell you . If someone else did it ... you can do it !
I graduated from CU for my BSN completion degree after being an RN for 27 years. It was like a fresh approach to where nursing is today. The profession was redefined in 2006. I tried to go to another school for my MSN, but found my way back. CU will help you help yourself, this is what you need for the long haul as a professional. I'm really finding their care model to be true. I have had great professors most of the time. Actually, I haven't had a bad professor. Melissa, I'm proud of you for sharing your world. Take care, to give care to others.
So I am not faculty but I did graduate from CU last month with my MSN-FNP and I will say, 2 and a half years ago, like most students I was looking at videos and doing my research because I had doubts. And I will say I am.happy I didn't listen and I experienced the journey for MYself. Not to discredit anyone's experience, but I will say it was not easy, but it was not overly difficult. It took time, discipline, and hard work, after all it is a Masters Degree. Good luck, in whatever decision you make.
I just came through the video and I want to say that I am fresh out of high school and came directly into chamberlain. I agree that you should do all the pre-reqs at the community or at another school. The only reason why I decided to stick with chamberlain right after school is that I am at the spot where I could and I felt personally that I could go through it. My parents even wanted me to stick with chamberlain (they are helping me financially) and just wanted to do go for it. Even I, who is completing my second year by the end of august, agree that even if you are at a spot to cover for classes, do ur classes elsewhere so u come and something happened and u flunk out, u still have ur pre -reqs ready to be transferred to another school. I wished I made the choice to go to the community before coming here. Don't get me wrong. (depending on where u are), chamberlain is good, especially a lot of the nursing professors and I really like it here.
That's sooo insane but it sounds about right for those starting off this degree from scratch. I only took out 20,000$ in loans. And I know of people who have gone completely paid for. Every person's situation is different.
Whenever you get an opportunity to save time or money, always choose time. You will always make money. You cant get back wasted time. As a new immigrant with almost zero credits, I was able to take my prereqs alongside my nursing courses and I am currently a senior. In my 40s, I had no time to take prereqs, then BSN. I would have had to use up an extra 2 years, which as a BSN RN I will be able to earn all that money back. In any institution of higher learning, you will have to be proactive in making sure you understand the concepts. But it is a matter of personal choice and circumstances.
The RN to BSN at Chamberlain is a much cheaper option especially if your apart of a Nursing organization you get an additional 30% off tuition. Can cost you from 11 to 18,000
I live in Hawaii and the schools here are very limited and they only accept a small number of students who basically have straight A’s. I don’t want to move off island, so I started researching and discovered chamberlain. I’ve already completed all of my prerequisite classes and applied to the nursing program here but didn’t get accepted. This is a wonderful opportunity to get your RN license and BSN (bachelors degree). At most schools, after two years in a nursing program you only have your associates degree. For me personally, it’s worth it to pay the extra money to get into a nursing program and not have to wait years to get accepted into one locally. I will have to travel to the mainland for the clinical portion of the program but am excited for that opportunity!
hey i am moving to Hawaii due to my hubby military orders and I'll be applying to chamberlain university, do you know how long you will have to travel for to complete clinicals?
Girl I’m at the Atlanta campus & I fully agree with you on the professors & the financial aid! Lawd this school is so expensive smh. And I agree I hate that you can’t pick your professors before hand.
Hi Arianne, can you tell me a little about your experience there ? Do you recommend it ? I’m super nervous debating whether to go to Chamberlain or West Coast University
I'm glad I chose a small private hospital associated program. My class has never had more than 35 students. Each clinical instructor knows the students personally. The NCLEX pass rates are >90% and the retention rate is 86%. The instructors know the units and our clinical instructors have been directors of ICU, MEDSURG, CATH LAB, House Officer / experience 15+ years!
Yesssss. That’s honestly the smartest way to do it!! You make such great personal connections that way too. #Networking Cost effective and quick (in some instances on the speed though). In GA and PA there are waitlist for years. That’s the main reason that deferred me from going that route. I didn’t wanna wait 2-3 years and THEN start school. I knew my Steam wasn’t gonna last that wait lol.
Chamberlain isn't regionally accredited. Only nationally accredited. Meaning if you take nursing prerequisite at Chamberlain (which is super expensive), you won't be able to transfer to courses to another college. You're stuck in Chamberlain's for profit system. I did the Chamberlain online orientation and from what I gathered they target students without prerequisite so they can charge them the full 80k. Student who completed prerequisite will pay a less tuition fee and Chamberlain isn't catering to them. Imagine being in your early twenties and wasting you limited amount of federal aid, and not being able to transfer their courses to a more suitable school. I just go into a ADN program which is 2k total. And the RN to BSN program is only 8k. So a total of 10k for a ADN to BSN.
Yeah, pretty much. Though I have heard both sides of this (students not being able to transfer and students who did transfer). Regardless, I feel like it's way too expensive to spend 3 years there. Get though prereqs somewhere else.
I wasn't sure what this video was going to say, but I think it was very accurate and I think very helpful!! Good luck!! It is very challenging but I think it will be worth it! Lots of resources available!
I totally agree with everything you said. I "recommend" looking at other nursing programs that are not Chamberlain. Lol Trying to get ahold to student services is always a pain. - Jasmine
Still accurate for ATL Campus! I would also add, if your job cannot flex to your academic schedule changing suddenly (less than 24h notice) get a new job or be ready to not work.
Sort of, I actually find programs like Chamberlain make it easy to fit in some shifts. My previous nursing school had a schedule like 8A - 5P, monday through friday and weekend clinicals sometimes. It was VERY consuming.
🙄🙄🙄🙄 school and finance is a personal choice. I do agree community college for the first 2 years. I did RN-BSN track and it was a lot of work. I’ll do it again. All colleges and universities do not spoon feed college students.
Your comment is confusing. Are you in agreement or looking for a debate? I have stated many times that individuals know their own perosnal situations better than some random stranger on the internet. But the bast majority of people shouldn't be throughing away 80-90,000 on a bachelor's degree. At the end of the day, I or anyone else cannot make such a huge decision for anyone else. Gotta do what's best for you/your family! ✨
I'm about to take my hesi this Friday for the Sacramento chamberlain campus and seeing this video and some reviews online is making me second guess my decision lolllll
I totally agree, and I applied for the sac campus too and they kept saying they haven't received my transcript when my previous university sent it and they keep pushing my application to different admission committee meetings for the September start.
Weigh all of your options and hour personal situation! Chamberlain may be the perfect fit or it may not. Ultimately, only you can know what’s best for you.
I’m trying to decide to either start in May or September of this year, and the only one out of the 5 that I feel concerned with is being self disciplined. I’m wondering if I could teach myself in 5months. Thank you so much for posting! Not a lot of videos out there on why chamberlain might not be for you.
You can definitely learn discipline! It’s totaly okay not to be disciplined so long as you recognize that and are open to the idea of building it. Start in small areas of your life and daily schedule and work your way up.
It depends on her personal situation, too. If she has an RN license or other. WGU doesn’t have a formal BSN program for those who aren’t currently licensed.
Heyyyyyyyyy so def let me know what classes you took for that clep and how they transfers over cause I’m sitting on 25 clep creds and I want to know if I should get more
I LOVE YOU right back! 💙 That’s the story of my life right now lmao. It’s horrible, I recommend other means to people when possible. Too expensive in my opinion!
Hey I'm from Atlanta and I want to say thank you so much for the information.Also, For pre reqs What is Anatomy & physiology 3and 4? And where did you complete them in Atlanta?
A&P 1 is divided into 1&2 at chamberlain. A&P 2 is divided into 3&4. It’s just because the sessions are 8 weeks so it allows more time for you to get the information in. I transferred those classes in from my previous degrees.
I just got accepted and I start in july.every school is not for everyone. Instead of telling people not to go,you should of said here is my experience and why I don't like it
Did you watch the video? I never told anyone not to go. I had a great experience at chamberlain. I advise you watch again to grasp the message of the video. 🤗
I love your videos. Can you please make a video for only general educations to understand what classes can be taken in county college. That will help people to save so much money. I am currently in county college. I am taking as many classes as I can before going in. I took few nursing classes in other school as well. Last year I was gonna sign that contract, but when i saw the amount, I walked away. I think I took all the gerneral education, maybe missing 2 or so. Please guide me in this as you know they really do not tell you everything. Thank you in advance!
What if we have all those pre requisites? I have my associates already and did all those I just applied to community colleges but I’m already thinking of plan B
If it makes financial sense for you, and you know this is your future career... then go for it! At the very least, getting an unofficial transcript evaluation is a good start so that you know what you’re working with. That’s free from them. Often times they don’t accept all classes in as transfers, for completely bogus reasons.
Love the tips, I had my mind set top apply to the Atlanta campus. Can you anyone else recommend a easier nursing program. I know that'll probably be impossible to find
“Easy” and “nursing school” in the same sentence is wild 😂 there is truly no such thing. It’s a tough field, but if it’s your passion and you want to pursue it, then don’t let anyone convince you that you cannot. 🤍
how is it when students fail classes at chamberlain ? i hear some say you can’t fail one class & there’s some who say you can’t fail two or more classes.
You can always fail 1 class. You fail 2, that's grounds for dismissal. Many campuses allow for appeals to get you reinstated after an impending dismissal.
No need to be sorry. This was not meant to be a “downer” rather an eye opener for some folks who aren’t completely aware of what they’re getting into. Do what’s best for you, ultimately! 🤍
So what about having 2 of this 5 you mentioned as a problem . You have already started the school. Do you have any other school in mind here in atl that will be better
@@MelisaMarie hi I’m interested in the FNP program. I heard that I might not be able to use New York clinical professors since the masters program is in jersey. Do they give your clinical professors that are around your area?
@@ebonimurphy7037 yea I saw that. I read a lot of comments where people couldn’t graduate cause they couldn’t find preceptors. That’s really scary but idk
Ohhh I don’t like the sound of that. One of my requirements for grad school is that they find preceptos for you! Life and grad school is wayyy to stressful already than to have to hunt down hospitals.
Hey I’m starting in March in Miami, u mentioned being dismissed. How many times are u allowed to fail a class ? I’m praying to God I don’t but it’s good to know if I do
Current Dean's list student, got screwed over by a "professor" who has never taught the class before and didn't teach anything relevant towards exams. About to be dropped because of the absurd policies. Heading to the military now for my future. DO NOT waste your time and money on this school.
@@MelisaMarie I’ve been dismissed because I was unable to complete my assignments for both classes during the snow storm in Texas. Failed both classes, just got an email from counselors talking about the appeal process so I can start again in may. Told them to save it, already decided to join the Navy.
@@DrTrumpet2010 hey how are you? I’m sorry to hear that but how come? I live in Houston Texas and we had the same snow storm. They gave us extra time to complete our assignment. Which campus do you go to?
Ok as someone who is going to attend in September this video had me worried. Now with that being said let me explain. I did my research as everyone else did, and I struggled to find a school that fit in my current life schedule. As well as I already have an Associate's degree in a completely different field, I thought I would have transferrable credits and found out that I didn't. Then you have to think about community colleges which can be a great option for JUST your pre-reqs, because getting into a community college Nursing Program is a joke! You attend almost 2 years of schooling, which you have to do exceptionally well in, to THEN apply and attempt to get into an already "small' and "competitive" program. If that's your cup of tea go for it. Now is Chamberlain the best Finacial option ABSOLUTLEY not. I will say though, I would rather pay for a guaranteed spot in a nursing program while ALSO receiving my pre-reqs then continuously apply to other nursing programs with my pre-reqs. When you first apply with Chamberlain, and in that first phone call, they tell you exactly how much schooling will cost right then and there (which most definitely a lot). I would just say what my mother says, and take it with a grain of salt. I wish everyone luck on their OWN PERSONAL journeys, I know you all will do amazing things!
ADN RN (in 1 month here) - thanks for your video. Looking for a BSN program to skate through easily and was considering Chamberlain, gonna keep looking.
There are a million and one schools in the US and pathways to becoming a nurse, whether its LPN, ADN or BSN. You have to chose the path that is best and most feasible for your personal situation.
Hi love! I can't say if I recommend the school or not, only because I do not know what exactly your learning needs are. Like what do you mean by slow learner? I will say that no matter what the school... nursing school is hard. There is a lot of dense informaiton, being thrown at you really fast. At times you feel like you haven't had the opportunity to absorb lecutre A before they throw you into Lecture B. Does that make sense? Continuous drowing in information. Perhaps if you took some pre-reqs at a community college and see what taking a few science classes are like for you, then you could gauge how it would be for you to transition into a full time nursing program. I hope this helps. ❣️
For profit school is a bit more lenient in my opinion. State school is definitely more difficult, also quite strict, fail a couple of exams & you get kicked out. Chamberlain is not a school to be super proud of or any for profit school is for that matter. They are just a convenient last resort. Most state colleges only offer day programs which can be quite difficult for a working adult.
I completely disagree with your sentiments. Chamberlain isn’t a school that everyone just gets into automatically and then once you’re in, everything is easy peasy. It’s a regular ole difficult nursing program. And much like other nursing schools I’ve dealt with, if you fail two classes you’re dismissed. And must maintain >76%. Not sure where you’re located but the chamberlain brand gets a lot of people great jobs here.
No. To me it makes more sense for someone younger because they have more years to work off that debt. It also depends on how much work you're willing to put in to get As in your pre-reqs at the community college. I would at least attempt the community college route first, and save $90K.
Ooooh that seems cool. I just looked into it. I had never heard of it before! It looks like a really awesome route through Chamberlain. Are you already starting your online classes with them? I haven’t met anyone else yet who is enrolled but if I come across them I will circle back with what I hear!!
Go and speak with your dean, asap. We can’t do much for you here. Try and do a grade appeal and have your strong evidence as to how your assignment got graded incorrectly.
This is all fax 📠 no printer 🖨️! I go to nursing school for free. I even get a stipend and grant money AND NURSING SCHOOL IS STILL YHE MOST DIFFICULT THING IVE EVER ATTEMPTED! unless the finances are financing don’t bother waste your money.
I graduate from chamberlain this week , I loved the school, nursing school is not easy , you need to study and write papers , but it is durable . Dont listen to people what they tell you . If someone else did it ... you can do it !
Congratulations! Happy for you and wish you much success!
How many papers like that

@@MelisaMarie I meant how many papers you have to write?
How easy was it to find a job?

I graduated from CU for my BSN completion degree after being an RN for 27 years. It was like a fresh approach to where nursing is today. The profession was redefined in 2006.

I wish you luck on your journey! 💜
What is a good way to pay for school
Grants, scholarships, working. Avoiding loans is best, but you do what you have to.
Wow chamberlain seem like they don’t give a f&@k about their students just making as much money as humanly possible
Lol. That’s not the impression I was trying to give off necessarily but it is an institution that can be tough to navigate.
Thx that's all I needed to know
🤍
Really good advice. Great video.
Love the tips, I had my mind set top apply to the Atlanta campus. Can you anyone else recommend a easier nursing program. I know that'll probably be impossible to find
“Easy” and “nursing school” in the same sentence is wild 😂 there is truly no such thing. It’s a tough field, but if it’s your passion and you want to pursue it, then don’t let anyone convince you that you cannot. 🤍
Thank you for the info
You’re welcome!
how is it when students fail classes at chamberlain ? i hear some say you can’t fail one class & there’s some who say you can’t fail two or more classes.
it all depends on where your chamberlain school is located
You can always fail 1 class. You fail 2, that's grounds for dismissal. Many campuses allow for appeals to get you reinstated after an impending dismissal.
Are you referring to the online programs or just in general?
In general.
This advice was a bit of a downer for me I’m sorry.
No need to be sorry. This was not meant to be a “downer” rather an eye opener for some folks who aren’t completely aware of what they’re getting into. Do what’s best for you, ultimately! 🤍
@@MelisaMarie 😂
Did anyone do their LPN to BSN program? If so how was it from your perspective.
I don’t believe Chamberlain has an LPN to BSN program.
Yes
They do have lvn to bsn in Houston,Tx but I am not sure for all locations.
So what about having 2 of this 5 you mentioned as a problem . You have already started the school. Do you have any other school in mind here in atl that will be better
As in, you’ve already started the program? I am nit quite understanding.
Do you know anything about the Masters program? I work a full time job and wanna do online classes but I’m really not sure
What specifically are you wondering about my dear? All master programs are online only. Which specialty are you interested in?
@@MelisaMarie hi I’m interested in the FNP program. I heard that I might not be able to use New York clinical professors since the masters program is in jersey. Do they give your clinical professors that are around your area?
@@hanna630 im in the masters at chamberlain. you have to find your own preceptors🥺
@@ebonimurphy7037 yea I saw that. I read a lot of comments where people couldn’t graduate cause they couldn’t find preceptors. That’s really scary but idk
Ohhh I don’t like the sound of that. One of my requirements for grad school is that they find preceptos for you! Life and grad school is wayyy to stressful already than to have to hunt down hospitals.
Hey I’m starting in March in Miami, u mentioned being dismissed. How many times are u allowed to fail a class ? I’m praying to God I don’t but it’s good to know if I do
Hi love! You can fail a class once. After a second fail, you will be dismissed. God willing you won’t have to worry about that. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hey Racquel I start in May how you doing so far
@@samanthajean3694 hey Love I ended up not going and doing LPN at another school. It’s cheaper route to RN for me and I’m learning more.
@@racquelscavella6236 hi , What school? I’m interested
Current Dean's list student, got screwed over by a "professor" who has never taught the class before and didn't teach anything relevant towards exams. About to be dropped because of the absurd policies. Heading to the military now for my future. DO NOT waste your time and money on this school.
I am so sorry to hear this. I wish you good luck and success on your future endeavors. 🙏🏾
@@MelisaMarie This was the exact response I got from the Dean of Academic Affairs minus the apology. Absolutely ridiculous.
Lol wow. I hope that my response didn’t trigger you! I very sincerely meant it. How come they didn’t let you retake the class?
@@MelisaMarie I’ve been dismissed because I was unable to complete my assignments for both classes during the snow storm in Texas. Failed both classes, just got an email from counselors talking about the appeal process so I can start again in may. Told them to save it, already decided to join the Navy.
@@DrTrumpet2010 hey how are you? I’m sorry to hear that but how come? I live in Houston Texas and we had the same snow storm. They gave us extra time to complete our assignment. Which campus do you go to?
Ok as someone who is going to attend in September this video had me worried. Now with that being said let me explain. I did my research as everyone else did, and I struggled to find a school that fit in my current life schedule. As well as I already have an Associate's degree in a completely different field, I thought I would have transferrable credits and found out that I didn't. Then you have to think about community colleges which can be a great option for JUST your pre-reqs, because getting into a community college Nursing Program is a joke! You attend almost 2 years of schooling, which you have to do exceptionally well in, to THEN apply and attempt to get into an already "small' and "competitive" program. If that's your cup of tea go for it. Now is Chamberlain the best Finacial option ABSOLUTLEY not. I will say though, I would rather pay for a guaranteed spot in a nursing program while ALSO receiving my pre-reqs then continuously apply to other nursing programs with my pre-reqs. When you first apply with Chamberlain, and in that first phone call, they tell you exactly how much schooling will cost right then and there (which most definitely a lot). I would just say what my mother says, and take it with a grain of salt. I wish everyone luck on their OWN PERSONAL journeys, I know you all will do amazing things!
Yup.. we’ll said.
ADN RN (in 1 month here) - thanks for your video. Looking for a BSN program to skate through easily and was considering Chamberlain, gonna keep looking.
“Skate” more like a WGU or a Capella. Look into those too.
@@MelisaMarie Thanks, I saw someone talking about they had a easy time with WGU, I called them up today. I'll look into Capella too, thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m likely gonna do capella for one of my masters. Good luck.
You look so cute
If not chamberlain then where?
There are a million and one schools in the US and pathways to becoming a nurse, whether its LPN, ADN or BSN. You have to chose the path that is best and most feasible for your personal situation.
@@MelisaMarie exactly
Very helpful!
Please do the part two!
Nvm. I see it 😊
Yesss I did it! Lol. 🥰
I also would like to talk with you personally. So many questions and would rather talk directly to you
Do you have Instagram? Find me there.
thank you
You’re welcome
I am a 40 year old that is a slow learner, do you recommend Chamberlain? Thanks or the long route that is competitive through community college?
Hi love! I can't say if I recommend the school or not, only because I do not know what exactly your learning needs are. Like what do you mean by slow learner? I will say that no matter what the school... nursing school is hard. There is a lot of dense informaiton, being thrown at you really fast. At times you feel like you haven't had the opportunity to absorb lecutre A before they throw you into Lecture B. Does that make sense? Continuous drowing in information. Perhaps if you took some pre-reqs at a community college and see what taking a few science classes are like for you, then you could gauge how it would be for you to transition into a full time nursing program. I hope this helps. ❣️
For profit school is a bit more lenient in my opinion. State school is definitely more difficult, also quite strict, fail a couple of exams & you get kicked out. Chamberlain is not a school to be super proud of or any for profit school is for that matter. They are just a convenient last resort. Most state colleges only offer day programs which can be quite difficult for a working adult.
I completely disagree with your sentiments. Chamberlain isn’t a school that everyone just gets into automatically and then once you’re in, everything is easy peasy. It’s a regular ole difficult nursing program. And much like other nursing schools I’ve dealt with, if you fail two classes you’re dismissed. And must maintain >76%. Not sure where you’re located but the chamberlain brand gets a lot of people great jobs here.
No. To me it makes more sense for someone younger because they have more years to work off that debt. It also depends on how much work you're willing to put in to get As in your pre-reqs at the community college. I would at least attempt the community college route first, and save $90K.
Thanks for sharing this interesting video 😊
Thank you for watching!
Hey I’m in there N2N program, have you meet anyone in the program?
Or just let me know the reality of the program if you know anyone.
What do you mean by N2N?
@@MelisaMarie Nurse 2 Navigate
Ooooh that seems cool. I just looked into it. I had never heard of it before! It looks like a really awesome route through Chamberlain. Are you already starting your online classes with them?
I haven’t met anyone else yet who is enrolled but if I come across them I will circle back with what I hear!!
@@MelisaMarie I am, Im currently taking NR103
Do have an email or...
So I can ask you a few questions please?
Send them to my DM on instagram!
Listen! Truthhhhhhh
FACTS.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP I GOT AN F BECAUSE MY PROFESSOR GRADED IT WRONG HOW DO I RETAKE OR GET HER TO APPEAL THE COURSE FINISHED
Go and speak with your dean, asap. We can’t do much for you here. Try and do a grade appeal and have your strong evidence as to how your assignment got graded incorrectly.
So are you a nurse?
I am in school.
All facts people need to stop with the BS. It’s the price and if you can really do it for the 3 years.
💯💯
I really do think students should be able to pick their own teachers, after all it is the students paying.
I agree!
Can you take classes by yourself?
What do you mean by this, hun? Like without a professor?
@@MelisaMarie I have heard people say they are the ones who register you for classes
What campus?
I attended both Atlanta and North Brunswick campuses.
Please reply I don’t want to fail 😭😭😭😭
Praying for you. 🙏🏾
Has anyone taken the Hesi yet? If so is chemistry and A&P on it?
Yes they’re all there. But depends if ur college requires to take
I heard that Jamaican accent. Nice
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
How are the exams set up ? Since most classes are online do you guys use a lockdown browser?
Hi dear! For nursing class exams we use proctorio (which is an app through ATI). For gen eds they use lockdown browser for exams.
@@MelisaMarie thank you for responding so they record you while taking the exams ?
Yes they record your screen and environment!
Please what is the min passing nursing score? Is it 80% ?
76%.
