Chamberlain University Reviews

"The support staff and instructors are all focused on helping students to be successful in attaining their degree. I have been very satisfied with the format, instructor involvement, and instructor feedback. The student services department is very helpful and able to answer all questions and help with whatever is needed. My practicum coordinator is very knowledgeable and helpful in approving my practicum sites and making sure all requirements are met."

"I worked hard & followed the syllabus as closely as possible. Completing classes online is difficult but this program keeps you interactive and deadlines for assignments are straightforward and realistic. CCN's library & resources were very impressive. It takes a little time to realize all that they have available in their student resources but it is wise to get acquainted with it early on because it will save you so much time when searching for EBP. I felt prepared coming out of the program. CCN offers a review course at the end of their program. It not only prepares you for boards but also in daily practice with utilization of practice guidelines and EBP. As with anything, you get out of it what you put into it. I had a job offer prior to graduation and have accepted a position!!Read Less"

"This program is continually trying to challenge their students and push them to pursue the most appropriate learning environments for their learning. As a distance learning student I was grateful for the guidance and support towards my masters degree."

"Amazing school that allows the ability to be a working mom as well as a student! The professors push you to do your best and is top notch education for an on-line program. Yes, it is an on-line program therefore, strict time management skills are required to be successful. You must also find your own clinical site. However, most schools require this."

"I love this school. There are so many negative comments from people but they are all personal opinions. I love that school is flexible for those of us who are working and have families. I feel that this school provides us with the sufficient knowledge to be able to practice in my clinical setting. Yes, we have to find our clinical preceptors but that is okay because after all its a masters program there will be no one to hold your hand and nor should you expect it. I like that the online setting is very much organized and if you need help there is help available. This school is not for those people who think that they don't have to work for their degree because you get what you invest in this education. I definitely recommend this school.Read Less"

"Pros- Instructors are great and provide excellent feedbacks. I've learned a lot and enjoying being able to learn in an online environment that is flexible to my schedule. Weekly case studies are challenging but help so much with clinicals and for future practice. Cons- Need to find own clinical sites which is a difficult process, however, most schools require the same."

"CCN offers working professionals the opportunity to pursue a higher education with online classes. This program requires a substantial amount of reading and writing. It will.give you back what you put into it. No secret there. Instructors are helpful"

"Chamberlain College of Nursing has a great online program for RN-BSN. I loved that they offered 8 week classes. The instructors were helpful and followed the guidelines set up for the classes. I was able to advance as a nurse after earning my RN-BSN. I will be attending Chamberlain College of Nursing for my MSN-FNP this Fall."

"Chamberlain online allowed me what other brick and mortar schools could not. Flexibility. Otherwise my dream of obtaining a masters would not be within reach. Was the studies easy? No most certainly not. You must be dedicated and devoted to spending the time required to review and learn the material as with any other school. Did I have any issues. No more than I would have at any other school. Some instructors were awesome, others were not. That goes along with any school you attend. I am very pleased with my education, although it has been a long and time consuming 2 1/2 years. I have learned so much and I am grateful for the opportunity provided by Chamberlain to pursue my masters.Read Less"

"Excellent program excellent library resources .. I have attended other online programs and this is by far the best . I feel like this school will prepare me for my upcoming career. Teachers are wonderful and give good feedback! Best online experience yet!"

"I have enjoyed the online experience which allowed me to study around work. Students complain about having to find your own preceptors. Everyone is a nurse who has worked with people in all fields. Networking is constant. I found my preceptors through past and present jobs. I believe you get back what you put in and feel prepared."

"It is a great school. I have found it to be much more organized then the private school where I received my ADN. It requires a lot of hard work. Having the ability to self study is important in an online program. Instructors and staff are all profession, friendly, and helpful."

"I received my BSN in 2010 from CCN-St.Louis and decided to return in 2016 for my FNP. My decision to return was based on the positive experiences during the BSN program. The MSN is a bit different as I didn't have the option of going to classes on campus but I will say CCN has given me the necessary tools to still be successful in my journey of seek a graduate degree. You get out what you put into an online education and you have to be prepared to take accountability for your progression and advancement to becoming a knowledgeable APRN. I wish we had more assistance finding preceptors but that seems to be the general consensus for NP students in most programs.Read Less"

"The case studies really help to grasp what goes on in the real world, applying the new knowledge being taught. With the focus on case study discussions instead of cramming for exams , it's helping me learn in a whole new way. The professors are professional and the help desk is helpful! The courses are accelerated, so be ready!"

"There were some inconsistencies with requirements along the way, but overall it was a great program and I felt very well prepared for certification and practice. The clinical courses did a great job of implementing case studies that were applicable to practice, and the capstone board review course was fantastic!"

"Do not attend this school! Worse mistake I ever did was start this program. You basically teach yourself while they take your money. Teachers do not offer feedback and there are no tests or quizzes so you basically are doing case studies that require looking up evidence based articles that take up time you could use for real studying! Finding a clinical site is up to as well as doing the practium coordinators job, too much time doing the school's job while they over charge you for a sub par education. CCN actually allows people who cheat to stay in the program, I know first hand! I sent an email to an instructor and the dean because I saw a student copied an article word for word in a discussion post and nothing was done. That student is still in my class! This is the type of student representing this school! So wish I had left and transferee but no other school would accept my credits and I was already in the clinical portion of the program. Run from CCN!Read Less"

"Love this program and I continue to learn and grow everyday. The case study model provides a continuous learning experience and great interaction with other students and the instructors. This program is challenging but worth the challenge and has greatly prepared me for my practicum experience. I already have a job offer before graduation."

"I have 3 more classes to go and I must say I am learning tons of information. Although generally a new program, I feel that Chamberlain is giving us what we need to be entry level FNPs. They are frequently making changes that reflect on the feedback of the students. We currently have a certification class that was being given in our final course but that have changed. Now we are getting access to those q bank questions earlier which allows us to be better prepared. We have heard back from students who have graduated and they have passed boards and function as an FNP and many have stated they felt that CCN prepared them. It's an online school so you get what you put forward. Lots of studying on your own time and you have to have self driven. I loved Immersion weekend in assessment! We got the opportunity to get hands on learnung on assessing patients prior to clinicals and met life long friends in the process. The most frustrating part of the program is findind preceptors but this is an issue with most programs. Start looking a year in advance as they fill up quickly. Most importantly remember to give back and become a preceptor when you are a practicing NP.Read Less"

"I worked as an instructor at the chamberlain college of nursing. I definitely would not recommend this school to any of potential students. They will take your money. The program is so fast paced. It is very likely to fail this program than the traditional program. You throw your money out of window. Several students called me that after they failed twice, the school denied their readmission. THEY WASTED 70000 dollars. Be careful enrolling these program."

"I am extremely disappointed with the instructors, overall the way everything is ran at this school. Unfortunately, I am still attending the school just to finish what I started. Where do I begin? I had an instructor, well a few that have been extremely unprofessional. I question where they received their degree or why they were hired. I am fed up, I want to graduate and pass the NCLEX. How is that possible half of the teachers I have had chose to play games instead of lecturing and were more concerned with being outside because of the nice weather. The one thing that really caught my attention before registering was the NCLEX pass rate and come to find out that NCLEX pass rate is not what it use to be. By the way I heard this from one of the instructors. I definitely do NOT recommend this school to anyone.Read Less"
