r/ChamberlainNursing

Hi! I’ve been trying to get into contact with my enrollment representative but have had no luck! I made 3 separate appointments and each time I never get a call. I have called the support number and all they can do is try to transfer my call but no one is picking up. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hey,

I didn’t do too well on the mastery and now I need a 140 on the final exam. How do I study for this class? I used the edapts provided and power points by NVCAS and our faculty but I go a 76 on the first exam. I need to pass this class, what did you guys use to study? and what can I expect on this exam. thank you!

I’ve never taken anatomy and got a 52% on that section. I’ve been out of school for 11 years and 13 years ago was my last biology class so I scored a 64%. I only had two days to study. My enrollment person said “don’t worry about the hesi it’s just to see where you’re at.” 88% on reading comp & 90% on vocab.
I meet with her tomorrow morning. I’m feeling discouraged…. Do I even have a shot?

I have a bachelors degree in Health Sciences. I am transferring 44 credits to chamberlain. I’ve never taken anatomy and they are saying I need to take all 4 anatomy classes in different sessions before I can take any other class, which puts me at 2 years 6-9 months. I’m very discouraged. Has anyone else experienced this?

The title is scary… I KNOW. I’ve been cramming for 13 hours at this point. The way it was painted to me by enrollment rep was “I wouldn’t even worry about it, it’s really just to bridge the gap in your education”. I realize now… it may just be a bigger deal. I graduated HS 9 years ago & only have a few college credits from 5 years ago.
I first spoke with chamberlain on Thursday. Testing for HESI Monday morning. Trying to get into September semester. So we are meeting again Tuesday to go over next steps. Sent in application, filled out fafsa, sent transcripts.
I am using every resource I can. I am not quitting and I’m locked in but like do the scores really matter?
I’m almost done with biology module & going to anatomy next. I took a few practice tests and those seem to be the only subjects I’m lacking.
I’m 100% sure I can get through this program based off of grit & pure delusion, & not working as well. I am married with one son who attends school 8:30-5:30 & my mother is my next door neighbor so to say now is a good time would be an understatement.I have a few friends who are in nursing school as well to lean on for support.
Advice? Words of encouragement? Am I insane?!

Getting nervous but excited! Would be cool to start a group of anyone else starting! LMK!

Hi guys! Just wanted to share my experience with this program since I didn’t see many posts about it when I was first looking into it. I finish in two weeks, so it took me about 10 months to complete, and I’ll be graduating with a 4.0! It honestly feels surreal because I really disliked school in my early 20s, but coming back a decade later has been such a different experience. It has been so fulfilling this time around.

I took 2 classes a semester. Semesters are 2 months long (you can find schedule online). I've heard of people taking 3 a semester but that would have felt too busy. I worked full time and even switched jobs towards the end. It was completely manageable.

It was cost effective for me since I worked with Kaiser at the time. I believe they offered a 47% tuition discount, coupled with tuition reimbursement at my hospital. Out of pocket I believe I paid 4-5k! 100% worth it to me for a numerical GPA versus pass/fail like other schools can be. I'm not sure if I want to go further yet, but this degree & GPA makes that possible. I'm so thankful.

Hi! I’m applying to the Sacramento location. I’ve already completed my admissions interview, and my next step was to take the HESI. I’ve since taken the HESI, but I haven’t heard anything from the admissions team.
I was only given instructions to complete the HESI and wasn’t given any information about what the next steps would be afterward. Does anyone know what the process is after taking the HESI? Should I reach out to the admissions team, or should I wait for them to contact me?

how do you guys take notes during lectures for nursing school ?
i usually use notebook and paper but i don’t think it’s gonna work since the professors will most likely go fast during the lectures

I take the HESI tomorrow and I feel so unprepared. I’ve studied maybe 2 hours per day for the past week using nurse hub and quizlet. I just feel like I haven’t learned anything
If anyone has taken V1 this week please let me know what resources were the most helpful. What should I do today to gauge how ready I am or if I should reschedule?

Hi! I decided to try for chamberlain this week. I need to take the HESI on Sunday, I haven’t studied and I haven’t been in school for a while. If I don’t do good on it will they deny admission, or is it just a benchmark type of thing?
