I am a Senior in the BSN program at Chamberlain's Columbus Campus. I will be finished with my…read moreBachelor's of Nursing degree at the end of August 2016. I'm an honor student and a member of Sigma Theta Tau. I will tell you that people aren't kidding when they say nursing school is hard. I've taken courses at Columbus State and Ohio State (like anatomy, organic chemistry, statistics, etc.). Nursing school is much more difficult. With that being said, the professors at Chamberlain are going to do everything in their power to help you understand the content. There are also many services students can utilize. Our campus has one of the (if not THE) most comprehensive Sim labs in the state. Chamberlain also has a great reputation in Columbus and continues relationships with hospitals like Riverside, Grant, OSU, Nationwide Children's, etc. I have had a vast array of clinical experiences. I have scrubbed into bone surgeries and cesarean sections, watched an angiography, helped deliver a baby, assisted in would care, and much more. We have had the opportunity to work in nursing homes, homeless shelters, rehabilitation centers, psychiatric and behavioral health centers, public health, schools, camps, and in hospitals. Also many schools do not offer a critical care course. At Chamberlain it is a part of the curriculum and clinical experience. Some clinicals can be a fair distance. I have not had to commute more than 20 minutes (with the exception of camp weekend), but some of my classmates have had a session or two with an hour commute each week. It happens. It's nursing school, they teach you to deal with chaos. Things I do not love about Chamberlain: The grading scale: 94%+ is an A (4.0) 92-93% is an A- (3.75) 89-91% is a B+ (3.5) and so on.... It's difficult to keep a high GPA. ATIs and HESIs (but again it's nursing school) And the expense. Chamberlain is not cheap. Apply for scholarships. I've received $14,000 in scholarships. Chamberlain cares about whether you pass the NCLEX the first time. They will invest time and effort into that goal. If you are up for a rewarding challenge, check into Chamberlain. (4 stars for cost and grading scale)

They do not want to help you and the dean of nursing is rude and disrespectful. I have never seen anything like this. This entire school is a joke. They had no HESI entrance exam and that's because they need to get people in to stay open. Their NCLEX passing rate is LOWWWWW. DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL RUNNNNNN

My experience with AIAM evening PN program was a nightmare! The most dehumanizing school I have…read moreever attended. I am convinced they are running this school for profit and lack empathy and sympathy towards their students. Despite being a straight A's and B's student, the teachers at AIAM would fail me and my classmates as they pleased, without being held accountable. This teacher's actions were not only unethical, but also had a negative impact on the students' education and mental well-being. It is concerning that someone who was not cleared by their doctor to teach was still allowed to do so, putting her students at risk. The failure of the entire class is a clear indication of her incompetence as an educator. The Director of Nursing does not know how to do her job, and the school shows no concern for the success of their students. In my class, we were split into two groups and our teacher had to go back and forth between the two classes, resulting in inadequate teaching and a high failure rate. Despite this, the school would still place the blame on the students for not understanding the material when they never properly taught us. It seems like they are always looking for any reason to fail their students. This school lacks professionalism and effective communication from teachers. There is no clear curriculum and changes are made without informing or teaching the students the new methods. Students are not given the support and guidance they need to succeed. This may be due to discrimination against students of color. Additionally, when students try to address their frustration and disappointment, they are treated poorly or punished.It is not worth sacrificing your mental health, money, and time at this school. It is better to go anywhere else.

Ohio State's College of Nursing offers bachelor's, master's, doctorates, certificates, and…read morecontinuing education. Some programs are in person, and other programs are online. About two years ago, I earned a bachelor's of science in nursing online, and I felt very satisfied with the quality of the professors and curricula. I appreciated that the program accepted many transfer credits from my previous degrees and that they did not charge me out-of-state tuition other than a small fee. In all of my classes, the professors were timely, comprehensive, and respectful in their online communication. The program required me to buy only one textbook, because most professors provided PDFs to download for free. I enjoyed that the classes (e.g., foundations, cultural competence, community health, management, informatics, interprofessionalism, and electives) included much content about evidence-based practice and research. Since my graduation, I have continued to follow the nursing program online, and I feel very proud to be an alumna!

Administrators and staff are very rude and do not care about you or your learning. Your business will be spread through staff and admin and even classmates! They play favoritism as well. This school is not set up for you so succeed as a lot of it is self taught and for the amount that you pay the quality of the labs and sims are TERRIBLE. They reuse supplies and often times make you "pretend" instead of opening supplies. They also take expired supplies from the hospitals which they should be able to afford without taking donations. The financial aid office is running a money laundering scheme so make sure you TRIPLE check all of your financial aid documents. Don't have an opinion different than theirs or stand up for yourself because you'll be labeled as combative and unprofessional. They also will give you the worst & cheapest pinning ever which is supposed to be one of the best moments of your life. Overall the cons outweigh the pros and it is not worth it! They are also not accredited by the CCNE. Go get your education elsewhere!!!!!!!
