Curriculum
Chamberlain’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree gives nursing students what they need to learn the fundamentals of nursing and to master new clinical skills. While the focus is on conceptual learning, students apply their knowledge and hone skills in the clinical setting through the support and expertise of caring faculty members.
Students gain experience in both the Chamberlain SIMCARE CENTER™ and the on-site clinical setting, working side-by-side with nursing faculty members, registered nurses and classmates. These settings allow nursing students to refine nursing skills for direct patient care.
Our New Orleans, LA nursing program consists of a minimum of 122 credit hours: 56 credit hours in general education and 66 credit hours in the nursing major.

Students must submit a completed health examination and immunization history by established deadlines. Students enrolled at a campus in the states of LA and NV must complete all immunization requirements as outlined in the academic catalog prior to attending their first class. These immunizations include Meningitis, MMR, and Tdap. Failure to submit all healthcare compliance requirements by the deadlines will result in the student’s ineligibility to attend class rendering them out of compliance. Students will be dropped from any future sessions until pre-registration immunizations required by state law are received and approved.
Please refer to the academic catalog for detailed information.

Students find the resources and support they need at our Center for Academic Success (CAS), including experienced tutors, support – and space – for smarter studying, readily available online resources and preparation for licensing examinations.
SIMCARE Center™
Just like a living and breathing person, our patient simulators replicate human bodily functions, in that they can even cry, bleed and produce sweat. Chamberlain’s SIMCARE CENTER™ facilities have privacy curtains, scrub sinks and fully functioning hospital beds. This high-tech setup allows you to practice skills and critical thinking before starting the clinicals portion of the nursing curriculum.
Global Health Education Program
