I don't know the exact number of instructors and SLS' are still working at this campus, but when I attended this location there were five amazing instructors and two SLS' that actually cared and wanted to help the nursing students. By the time I graduated, last year, two of the instructors left, as well as one SLS had transferred to another campus out of state. There are some truly awful instructors that made their way into the vacated instructor leadership positions from the two wonderful instructors that left, as well as a couple handfuls of decent and helpful instructors that left. Not only were instructors actually walking out and leaving immediately without two weeks notice, one of the deans and a few other front office leaders no notice quit. The dean position was immediately filled by one of the amazing instructors and a vague email was sent to the campus letting us know who the new dean was and that some cohort classes were going to be combined together creating a higher classroom ratio until they were able to get the empty instructor position filled.
The instructors that truly cared were all about ensuring their students understood the material, reached out to students that were in danger of failing their course, and helped the students that reached out to them for help. They actually taught the class, not read the PowerPoints word for word only--there is one instructor that will not deviate from the slides and if a student raised their hand to ask a question or for clarification on what was said the instructor's reply every single time was to look it up in the book because they aren't sure of the answer. Yes, nursing school is a lot of self teaching, but when an instructor won't answer questions in class, won't stay after class to take questions, replies to student emails within the required time per school policy without addressing anything in the email, it's ridiculous. One instructor completely ignored me--my text messages, emails, and pushed me to voicemail when I called--when I got my final grade for the class and saw just had failed. There were points given back on the final exam and I would have passed the class, but she only gave points back to select students and not the entire class. She ignored my attempts for the three days students have to talk to their professor about grades, which were the three days left of three session before grades were finalized. I could have appealed for a review of the final grade, but I would have had to sit out two months and wait for the next session to start.
Tuition is extremely high and was raised right before we got into senior year. There are activity fees charged to all Chamberlain students each session, whether the campus offers what the charges are for or not--which was raised more than once in three years. The Atlanta campus is an example of proper use of fees for campus activities, Miramar offers a couple recliners in a small office space they call the Zen Den.
Before applying, look at every single option available to you and make the best decision. Dont believe everything they tell you during the application process. You are talking to salespeople, their job is to do whatever they can to get you to apply so Chamberlain can get your money. read more
