Chamberlain University - New Orleans

"Customer service is very bad . I go there now and I regret it"

"If you want a fast paced school that is more than double the tuition of normal schools, requires you to do so much homework that you barely have time to study for exams, teachers that can’t teach and test on material that doesn’t match course lesson plan or their teaching (not all, there were a few good teachers), and administrators that only care about collecting a check and won’t help you when you need help and guidance, then this is the school for you! * Classes are 8 weeks long (7 weeks of learning, 8th is final exams & assignments deadlines) * terms (not semesters) cost $2,500-4,000, plus books, uniforms, materials * ATI curriculum (was useful) * 2-4 days breaks between terms with expectations to read and prepare for next classes all year long except 1 week summer break and 2 weeks off for Christmas and new years * weekly cited discussions in each class taken with multiple replies (time consuming) and minimum 1 full research paper per class, plus ATI homework assignments, etc. * a test in each class every 2-3 weeks * many adjunct teachers for labs * last clinical allows students to select an area they want to do a clinical in * online library resource for paper citations In comparison to traditional nursing school, I personally feel like this is not an ideal school for your average student. All nursing programs will be challenging so if you’re considering transferring don’t expect this to be better, there may be things you like more than other programs, but there will definitely be things you don’t like as well. I would personally not go here again, I felt the staff, except a couple of people, for the most part were uncaring or unprepared to help students adequately. I also felt like the school was mostly out for student’s money. Any students that have issues, even if it’s valid like being hospitalized or a death in the family, will not be considered a valid reason for failure. Research the school as a whole online and you will see that numerous students have been dismissed from the program after events such as mentioned above and not allowed a second chance. With that said, it is still possible to be successful at this school, I know people who have graduated from the program. I would just recommend you consider all the pros and cons before deciding to inquire."

"This school is a joke. You have to chase them in order to try and get in. They refuse to let you speak to anyone else and have very nasty attitudes. To say the called to care program is through them I REFUSE. I'd rather take my education and money else where!"
