I’m not one to write reviews, but Chamberlain university has me so upset I would not recommend the school to anyone. The classes were great and I enjoyed the curriculum it was the staff such as the financial dept/advisor that was the problem. So many gaps, lack of communication and conflicting stories. The 30 minutes to an hour wait time make it difficult to actually speak to someone. They do not look out for your best interest at all. I will definitely be looking for another school to finish my...

American Sentinel's RN to BSN program, like most high caliber nursing programs, requires many hours of reading, research, writing discussions and assignments, power point presentations, voice thread technology, and knowledge of virtual patient and hospital situations. I had been out of school over 20 years and felt very anxious about returning to a world where new technologically-oriented teaching methods were mandatory. With the help of my husband to guide me with the technical aspect, I made It!... Read More The nursing instructors were very understanding about adults working full time and trying to get through school. I feel I received a quality education and learned many different aspects of nursing besides bedside care. Another positive about out American Sentinel was their tuition was far more affordable than most others. My nursing instructors were helpful and always ready to give you a second chance, providing you had proved yourself. If you really want your BSN, you can do it! Just know up front that you will put your life on hold for the next 18 months!

I started originally in 2006 but will graduate in December 2016. I took all this time because I worked full time and cared for my mother until she passed. I never had any issue with confusion from enrollment, student aid or the teachers. I was in the RN to BSN Online program. I enjoyed it. However if you think a college that is work friendly is easier then don't go here. You will have to READ and participate, plus write papers. CCN wont give you a degree, you must earn it. I enjoyed my time here... Read More at CCN. I look forward to attending the Graduate program later in 2017.

I will finish my BSN from ASU in about a month. As an experienced nurse out of nursing school for over 3 decades with other advanced degrees I found the program gave me an opportunity to earn my degree without travel - I live in a rural area - at a reasonable cost (compared to other schools I researched). The school has good online setup and resources. The instructors I had were all experienced, both clinically and academically, and helpful with student learning. I appreciated the flexibility of... Read More the program timeline and was able to finish my degree in 2.5 years, nine months of which I was disabled and unable to take classes. As with any education, you get out of it what you put into it. The program is setup in such a way that you can usually adapt your work interests into your course work. I would recommend this to others who are self-motivated and have reasonably good writing skills (if you do not I would suggest improving that area first). My BSN is and will continue to improve both my nursing and my job opportunities. The program is accredited by CCNE DEAC, and ACEN.

I am a student currently in the nursing program. I am just completing my first year, and unfortunately, I cannot with good conscience recommend this school to anyone. I am a VERY passive person. You could spill a glass of water on me, I would immediately be assuring you "It's okay, don't worry about it!" But dealing with school has been a horrible experience, and by this point my nerves are completely shot. Had I been paying attention, I would have seen the warnings: I applied for the school months... Read More ahead of time. FIVE days before the deadline of applying to the nursing program, we all received an email saying that they were now requiring two letters of recommendation, more essays, and other requirements that everyone was scrambling to finish in time because, again, there were only five days left. I thought it was a fluke, but it was actually a warning. I can say with full confidence and disappointment that the staff that 'helps' with the nursing program is in fact the least helpful group of people. There are constantly mistakes with scheduling. This is obviously not their fault, but the way they handle this problem IS. Last semester, there was a mistake in which a lab was listed as being on a Wednesday, when really it was on a Friday. First day of lab, this group was told: "You're actually on Friday. Sorry for the mistake, but figure a new schedule out because you can't change it." Now, once again, the classes are displayed incorrectly but this time, we cannot register at all because of it. It has been a week since we were supposed to be able to register, so students are wondering what to do. Those who are supposed to be helping us, who haven't fixed their mistake yet, are yelling at the students now. I sent an email asking what I should do, and I received an email telling me my questioning was inappropriate (when nobody had given me a sensible answer yet), and that nurses are 'supposed to be flexible.' The staff is demeaning and unhelpful and quick to anger, when students are just trying not to stress over an issue that they created. Not to mention just the basics: some of the professors have no idea what they're doing. In my Fundamentals lab this semester alone: One teacher told us that IV nutrition was called "Peritoneal nutrition" (It's not) another professor repeatedly explained how the small intestine began with the "juodenum" (it doesn't) the teachers constantly started half an hour late because they GOT there late and then wondered how to start class, another professor began to demonstrate how to insert a NG tube by putting it down the mouth (spoiler alert: that's not where it goes), and nine times out of ten, for skills, we were told to "Just pretend you're doing" such and such because there were no resources to ACTUALLY do it. This school is frustrating, half the staff don't understand what they're talking about, and the staff that are supposed to help you talk down to you constantly and get defensive when they are the ones that have messed up. I could keep going about this nursing program, which has been a largely negative experience for me. But this review is getting long enough as it is. Honestly, I am only here because of how cheap it is. And even THEN, they rarely give out scholarships.
