The students being accepted into the nursing school barely have command of the English language, despite English being their 1st language. Most of the students are sub-par with more than 50% of the students admitted to the program having failed a nursing program at a better school. The nursing program at Chamberlain is an accelerated nursing program. The students blame the faculty when they are unsuccessful at learning a subject in 8 weeks that other schools teach in 16 weeks, while working one or more jobs, and raising a family - with below average intellect. The NCLEX pass rate is rapidly declining and campus management has no clue how to make improvements.
