Girl, who are you telling ???? I was there and I finished my degree and am now studying for NCLEX. it was stressful and I am recovering from PTSD. anyway, we made it, and congrats to both of us! #RNBSN2023
Congratulations for making it through the program. Thank you for your candor. Chamberlain is too expensive for this kind of disorganization. I'm still looking at other schools. I'm happy for you and your classmates but also sorry for how you all were treated so disrespectfully. Best Wishes and much success!!!
I am a junior at Chamberlain in New Orleans. I am so happy that you have completed the program!! It would be a good idea for Chamberlain to choose their professors carefully. We have a professor that is kind but does not teach well at all. I am an LPN, so I am doing well in her class, but for the students who have no experience, it doesn't seem fair. I watched your video after this and saw you passed your NCLEX and are officially an RN!!!! Congratulations!!
Thank you so much!! And I agree - the professor that you have can honestly make or break you in a class. Unfortunately, I think there is such a shortage of educators that the school possibly takes what they can get in terms of teachers
Congratulations!! I’m still going at chamberlain. March 2026 my grad year and still there’s sooooo many changes and challenges going that we’re adapting too… 🎉 YOU GOT THIS SIS AND FUTURE RN,BSN… The last day in my session I will scream and cry cause it’s a lot added with personal life and work but we want it we will work HARD
congratulations Melissa, your videos have been so helpful. it helped in helping me decide with which nursing school to go, and now that I'm in, it motivates me to keep going. I wish you good luck in the future. and thank so much for making these videos!
Congratulations!! I am very proud of you! I have been watching you for a long time! I just finished with Chamberlain as well on Saturday! So glad school is finally done!👏🏽👍🏽😎👩🏽🎓
Hey, I don’t meant to scare anyone lol honestly, chamberlain is so expensive that I would personally advise looking at other and more affordable degree programs/school. If the money doesn’t matter to you or if you are willing to pay it, then chamberlain does have a good curriculum and is a good school.
Hi Melissa I'm sorry your last semester wasn't so great. My program uses examsoft for unit exams but ATI for dosage calculation exams. I would say ATI is pretty convenient and has lots of resources to practice before test day. Also, my program typically has between 2-4 professors per class. So if one prof isn't doing it for us, the other ones would usually make up for it. FYI, mine is ADN. I get a lot of insights watching your videos. I love what you had to say about getting a degree immediately after your nursing program. Gave me something to think about... I have one final exam next week and I'm done! Congratulations again Melissa. So proud of you and know you'll do great things❤
Congratulations on being an RN!!! Just wondering if the exams/tests were online or in person? Were they recorded? How “hard” were the classes and if you found help whenever you needed it? Or did you have to figure it out all on your own? For example UA-cam.. etc? Sorry for the long question, but I think a lot of people would benefit from your answer :) and thank you!!
Thank you!! All exams were in person. I did start during the pandemic, so at first some exams were online and we had to take it in a lockdown browser using a camera. Now all exams are on campus, in a lockdown browser, with a camera, AND a proctor in the room with you. I think most classes were challenging, if not extremely difficult. The school did provide enough resources to be successful. Unfortunately, sometimes you have awful professors and can feel like you are on your own (which is why I used UA-cam and Simple Nursing throughout the program…) but the school had tutors and recorded lectures available to all students at no additional cost!
Hey, I just made and uploaded a review of the entire nursing program at Chamberlain and whether or not I would recommend the school. Unfortunately, I can’t speak to the Irving campus specifically because I attended the Tysons’s Corner campus in VA. I would advise you to join the Facebook group for that particular campus and see what people are saying to get a feel for both the good and the bad! Good luck!
@@theluckienurse thank you as always for your help! Again, I'm cured enrolled. You're been the first person that I watched before I applied for chamberlain! I will keep commenting on your videos. Hopefully everything goes good 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Congratulations! I start Chamberlin in January…. Do you have any tips on studying for nursing school while working full time. Also , any tips or styles of note taking that helped you?
Thank you! And congratulations to you!!! My biggest tip would be to find a study schedule that works for you. Teachers will “scare” you and say that you need to study a certain number of hours everyday. It may not be possible for you to study each day, and that’s okay! When I was in school, I would work on homework an average of 4 days a week (usually in the evenings after work), and I would dedicate one full day to studying each week (either Saturday or Sunday where I’d study for 4-6 hours). Sometimes when life got busy, I’d cram studying and homework all in one day. I wouldn’t advise that though! As long as you find a system that works for you, and you are understand the content and pass the exams, ignore what anyone else says! Good luck!!!
Congratulations!🎊🎈🍾 I’m so proud of you and thank you for recording your journey 😊 May I ask if you had to take a Hesi exit exam in Capstone in order to exit the program or does Chamberlain no longer require it? Thank you in advance!
Thank you!!! And nope, I did not have to take an exit exam. I used to hear about it in the cohorts ahead of me, but the exit exam stopped being administered either with my cohort or the one ahead of me, thank God! Lol
@@theluckienurse ohhhhhhh Thank God 😂😂😂 that makes me so happy I hope they keep it that way until I graduate😂 but thank you so much for getting back to me and once again congratulations on your accomplishments and thank you for literally helping us fellow students students still in the game🙏🏾🥳 🌺🌺💐
Congratulations dear❤, I’ve been following your content for a long time, well-done👍. Could you please help me with any resources to use for pharmacology, I would be taking it next session. I am also a student of Chamberlain, kindly help a sister, thank you 🙏
Thank you! The most helpful resource that I used when taking pharmacology in school was Simple Nursing. I paid for a subscription, but they have a bunch of videos available for free on UA-cam!
@@lidig3636 Hi! That is intro to nursing, right? From what I remember, no it is not difficult! It is just an introductory course. As long as you stay on top of all of your work, you should do well! 😊
Overall, I would recommend Chamberlain. It was not perfect and I was definitely frustrated throughout different points of the program, but any nursing school that you go she was going to have nonsense that you have to deal with lol Chamberlain ‘s curriculum is good though
I don’t think the program, or nursing school in general, is flexible at all. I think attendance policies differ, depending on what campus you are on. Our attendance policy used to be that you could not miss more than three classes in a session, but toward the end of my program, they changed it where you could not miss two weeks of classes in a row, otherwise you are dropped from the class. Clinical is definitely much more strict. You have to get permission to miss a clinical and it has to be a really good reason (I’ve had friends denied weddings and funerals as reasons to miss…). And then you have to make up theclinical , or else you fail thr course. I know of people who came to Clinical 5-10 minutes late and ended up being sent home, failing the clinical, and having to retake a class. But that all depends on your professor/clinical instructor and how strict they are. Some are more lenient than others. Hope this helps!
If you could do your educational career path all over again, would have gotten your MHA first or completely skip the MHA and go to Nursing School? I am asking because I’m in a similar situation where I am in an MHA program because I need a higher paying job. I have to work during nursing school. I am planning to go to nursing school afterwords. I’m completing prerequisites while in my MhA program. Do you think the MHA program helped you while studying to be a nurse?
First off, congratulations! Being in a masters degree program is huge and I’m happy that you are furthering your career! A nursing degree and a MHA go really well together! If I could go back in time, I would get my MHA first all over again. Having my masters degree opened up so many doors for me, and I was able to really build a life for myself because of that degree. My MHA helped me get higher paying jobs before and during nursing school. and I was able to make between 55 to 65K each year that I was in nursing school (Minus the last like 10 months before I took a lower paying job for lower stress, but even then, that was my choice). Since I was able to make more money, I didn’t have to take out as many loans as a lot of my classmates who were working lower paying jobs during the program. And in some ways, it helped me study to be a nurse because my MHA taught me academic discipline.. it was easy for me to write papers in nursing school or spend all day at the library on the weekend because I was used to doing it from my MHA. I also knew that financially, I would probably be OK if I dropped out of school because I had my MHA to fall back on. For me that was a good thing because it took some of the pressure off of my nursing program lol But for other people, it may have made it easier for them to give up.
Girl, who are you telling ???? I was there and I finished my degree and am now studying for NCLEX. it was stressful and I am recovering from PTSD. anyway, we made it, and congrats to both of us! #RNBSN2023
Hahaha I definitely feel like I have PTSD. There has to be a term for it specific to nursing school lol
Good luck and congratulations to you too!!!
Congratulations for making it through the program. Thank you for your candor. Chamberlain is too expensive for this kind of disorganization. I'm still looking at other schools.

Thank you!
hello does Chamberlin University do version 1 or 2 of the hesi a2 what version did you take

Did you do an associates or an ABSN?
I got my BSN through an accelerated BSN program 😊
@@theluckienurse how long is the accelerated BSN
Did you have to take a exit exam
No, thankfully Chamberlain got rid of the exit exam before I graduated
Chamberlain was rough 😢
Haha yes, at times it was VERY rough!
