I completely agree with you about Chamberlain being a challenging nursing program. It's accelerated and at times I become overwhelmed, but I love Chamberlain and I believe they'll have us well prepared for the NCLEX. 🎓
You know, I am so used to the acceleration of the program at this point that I forget that not all nursing schools are accelerated lol The extremely fast pace of each course alone makes Chamberlain a challenging nursing program!
The NextGen nclex is coming up soon🥺and I just fail the exam on my second attempt🥺🥺🤦♂️💔,I cannot begin to articulate the level of embarrassment and heartache I'm feeling right now 🤕😣,I'm confident that I will be a good nurse too. I just need to get past this too and move on. 🥺
Just say "I haven't passed yet." Don't take it as a failure but see it as a learning opportunity. There is a lot of power in "Yet"; you are telling yourself that you will get there and that your eyes and heart are still fixed on your goal.
I recently applied to chamberlain this past week. The waitlist at my community college is 2.5 years long. I have to schedule my HESI exam this week.. Thank you for your videos!!
Yes imagine competing with so many people and then getting waitlisted. I have a cousin who went to Puerto Rico to study Nursing, pros no waitlist and can study remote from US and cons have to go there for clinicals for like 5-6 months. Chamberlain ain’t cheap but it affords the opportunity to keep working while going to school and has more start dates per year.
In my experience, Chamberlain was way easier to get into. The majority of ADN programs in my area are lottery and you essentially have to have a 4.0 and >90 on the TEAS for the state BSN programs. Yeah, you’re paying more but you’re getting into the field so much faster.
OMG! I completely forgot about lottery systems! One of the community colleges near me that I was going to apply to does a lottery system each year if their pool of applicants is too large. I agree with you. I would much rather pay more for this program and get into the field and start working faster than trying to get into one of these super competitive ADN programs and get waitlisted year after year.
I agree with you that it is easier to get into Chamberlain compared to the impacted ADN nursing programs, however the difficult part is staying in the program. 😩
Thank you for watching! I do plan to make a video about paying for nursing school… But I have taken out federal loans for this degree. I pay some out-of-pocket, and I recently just got approved for a grant, but the program is so expensive that it’s almost impossible to pay it off fully out of pocket.
Thank you !! and my school payed for a free cna course and after that i just fell in love with it and having nurses around me really inspired me. Some people tell me its not worth it it but nurses say other wise !@@theluckienurse
Only some campuses have the evening and weekend option available. Most students go to school during the day.. but I’m not sure their schedule. For the evening and weekend students, we have classes week nights after 6 pm and then some labs with be Saturday mornings. Clinicals can be Saturday or Sunday!
The farthest that I’ve ever had to travel for clinical has been a couple of hours away- about 85 miles. I just looked it up and it was about 60miles from school. Clinicals sites are only able to be within a certain mile radius of campus. But I live over an hour from my campus… so I’m already far away. Most of my clinical sites have been about an hour away from me. If you live close to your campus, most of your clinicals should be THAT far away.
Thanks for watching! Really it depends on what your previous degree is in. For Chamberlain ‘s program, it will definitely help you because they will accept all of your Gen Ed courses like English, and history as long as it matches with the description of their courses.
The oldest classmate that I’ve had in the program was in their late 50’s/early 60’s! A lot of students are older than 30 in my cohort. There are HESI and TEAS prep books that you can get to help prepare. They are available online at libraries. That was how I prepared!
I’m 30 years old, haven’t been to school in 10 years and I passed the hessi by studying practice questions. That’s just what worked for me. I also used quizlet
Hey! So for Chamberlain, you have to take the HESI before starting the program. So if you are going to do your prerequisites in the program, you will take the exam before you take your Gen Ed credits. Some people enter Chamberlain after they have finished all of their Gen Eds, so they take the HESI after. For most other nursing programs, you take all of your Gen Eds, then you take the HESI and apply to a nursing program. Hope this helps!
Yes, they do, but I believe that you can take it while in the program. You do not need to have it completed before you apply. I took it at a community college before starting Chamberlain, and they accepted my transfer credit.
Welcome 😊 Nursing school and the curriculum for nursing is very difficult. Chamberlain has a good program and it is definitely a lot more challenging than a lot of schools because of the fact that it is accelerated. Each class is only eight weeks instead of the traditional 16 weeks, but you still have to learn all of the information that you would in a 16 week class. And there are a lot of exams. Once you get to your nursing classes, there is anywhere from 3 to 6 exams and quizzes that are usually given on top of homework.
@@burundianprincess119what did you use to study? I take the hesi this week they told me to use elsevier to study provided on the evolve account. Did you use that as well?
Hey, no it’s not a lot of papers compared to other degrees! You will need to write papers for gen Ed classes. Once you get to the nursing classes, some classes don’t require any
