As a student nearing graduation in the Spring, I feel compelled to share my experience with Chamberlain’s graduate nursing program. While I’ve invested significant time and resources into this journey, I would have strongly reconsidered my enrollment had I known what lay ahead.
Throughout multiple courses, faculty engagement has been consistently lacking. Student questions often go unanswered, emails receive no reply, and instructors frequently fail to participate in required discussion boards—despite expecting student responses to their posts. This absence of academic support reflects a broader issue: a lack of investment in student success.
During an immersion event, it became painfully clear that students are viewed more as enrollment numbers than individuals with professional aspirations. The environment felt impersonal and transactional, which is disheartening for those of us committed to advancing our clinical practice.
As a Clinical Instructor with nearly a decade of MSN-level experience, I’ve made it a point to advise my colleagues and students to explore alternative programs. I believe nursing education should be rooted in mentorship, responsiveness, and genuine support—qualities that have been sorely missing in my experience here.
Recommendation: Explore alternative programs
