Curriculum
Our Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) curriculum is structured to promote students’ abilities to memorize and use skills that are fundamental to nursing. While much of the focus is on conceptual learning, students are also taught how to translate concepts into practical skills.
Applied learning in both the Chamberlain SIMCARE CENTER™ and the on-site clinical setting gives nursing students the opportunity to work alongside faculty members, peers and experienced nurses as they practice their patient-care nursing skills directly.
Our Addison, IL, nursing program consists of a minimum of 122 credit hours: 56 credit hours in general education and 66 credit hours in the nursing major.
