Welcome to the (click) second presentation of this training for Chamberlain College of Nursing. We began the training, in presentation one, (click) focusing on the nurses Chamberlain services and the work that they do. This second presentation is going to (click) focus on the programs Chamberlain College of Nursing offers nurses throughout their nursing career, the Chamberlain Nursing Lifeline.

Transition: Lets take a look at the big picture of all that Chamberlain offers.1

KM20FYDOS14The CCN Lifeline

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnChamberlain College of Nursing, as a degree granting institution, offers degree programs for nurses from an (click) Associates Degree in Nursing, to a (click) Bachelor of Science in Nursing, to a (click) Master of Science in Nursing, and finally a (click) Doctorate of Nursing Practice.

For a prospective student with a high school diploma, looking to become a nurse, we offer three pre-licensure programs or options (click) The Associates Degree in Nursing or ADN, (click) the LPN to RN Bridge Option, and (click) the 3-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree, or BSN.

(click) For those who are already nurses in the field and hold a valid nursing license, we offer seven post-licensure programs or options (click) The RN to BSN Online Degree Completion Option and (click) the RN-BSN to MSN Online Option, (click) The Master of Science in Nursing Degree, or MSN, with 5 different specialty tracks, (click) two graduate certificates in Nursing Education and Nursing Informatics, (click) the MSN/MBA Option, and (click) the Doctorate of Nursing Practice, or DNP, with 2 specialty tracks.

Transition: To better understand the educational opportunities, the career path of a nurse, and how these two things intertwine, lets meet a prospective student.2

3Meet Hope

ChallengeCareerHelping PeopleMedical FieldCould Nursing Be Attainable for Me?

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThis is Hope. Hope is a (click) high-school graduate who is currently working in retail but is looking for a new (click) challenge and wanting to start a (click) career instead of going to work at a job each day. She loves (click) helping people and has always been interested in the (click) medical field as her grandmother and aunt were both nurses. She always loved listening to the stories they would tell about their work in the hospital and has recently started to wonder if nursing (click) could be attainable for her. Hope wants to find out more about her options in nursing and if it would truly be a good fit for her future. So, as many people do today she went to the internet and searched for (click) How to become a nurse.

Transition: The results of that search were overwhelming. 3

So Many Options!

She is a nurse. She will know just what to do!

RNBecoming a Nurse

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThere seemed to be so many options and she was still confused about what she needed to do. She really wanted to talk to someone, (click) so she picked up the phone and called her aunt. She is a nurse and she will know just what to do, Hope thought. (click) After talking with her aunt, Hope narrowed down her options with her aunt to two becoming a CNA while she started working on becoming an RN or taking a little more time to (click) become an LPN and then going back to become an RN while she is working. Hope knows that getting into nursing sooner than later is what is important to her so she made the choice to (click) go to her local community college and complete the Licensed Practical Nurse, or LPN, program. Though a CNA program would be shorter, Hope wants to enter the nursing field with more patient care and feels that becoming an LPN will be the best fit for her.

Transition: This also allows her to start working in the nursing field while she chooses how to continue to advance her career. 4

LPN to RN?

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnAfter completing about a year of training, Hope is able to take her (click) NCLEX-PN exam and become licensed to work as a (click) Licensed Practical Nurse. She then did a job search in her local area and found positions available in (click) nursing homes, doctors offices and in the hospital for LPNs. She eventually began working in her local (click) hospital doing basic bedside care in the pediatric department. She has really (click) fallen in love with her work and wants to continue to work as a nurse within a pediatric setting. Hope also didnt waste any time looking into furthering her education once she started her work as an LPN. From speaking with her aunt, she knows she wants to (click) become an RN and that she will need an (click) associates or bachelors degree to accomplish that goal.

Transition: Her aunt graduated from (click) Chamberlain College of Nursing and so that was the first school she called to find out about her options. 5

NCLEX-RN

RNLPN to RN?

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnHope spoke with an Admissions Representative at the Columbus, OH campus and found out that she actually had (click) three options to earn two possible degrees which would make her eligible to become licensed as a Registered Nurse. The Columbus, OH campus is the only Chamberlain College of Nursing campus which offers an (click) Associates Degree in Nursing program where a student can earn their ADN within two years without having any experience in the nursing field. However, because she is an Ohio resident who is a licensed LPN, Hope also has the option of applying for the (click) LPN to RN Bridge Option which will give her up to 10 credit hours toward her ADN. Receiving her (click) ADN would make Hope eligible to take the (click) NCLEX-RN to become a (click) Registered Nurse.

Transition: However, there is one other option that Hope needs to consider. 6

NCLEX-RNLPN to RN?

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThe third option is to get the BSN through the Columbus, OH campus, which is also offered on all 13 of Chamberlain College of Nursings campuses across the U.S., is the (click) 3-Year Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program. Earning a (click) BSN would also make Hope eligible to take the (click) NCLEX-RN exam and become a license (click) Registered Nurse. It is a longer program, however, and Hope is torn between which of these degrees she should choose.

Transition: To help her decide which option was best for her she decided to do a Pros and Cons chart to compare the two.7

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnBecause she is already an LPN, she was comparing the LPN to RN Bridge Option and the 3-year BSN degree program. For the pros of the LPN to RN Option she wrote that is would take (click) less than 2 years to become an RN which would mean a raise in pay and more opportunities more quickly in the nursing field. Secondly, having her ADN will allow her to (click) work as an RN and do the same work that an RN with a BSN could do. She also noted that she could continue her education at Chamberlain to (click) get her BSN completely online after getting her ADN while she is working as an RN. The Cons for the LPN Bridge Option were earning only an ADN which could make her (click) vulnerable to job cuts and that having only an ADN could (click) limit her promotional opportunities for the future.

Transition: Then she did the same for the 3-Year BSN. 8

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThe Pros were that she would become licensed as an (click) RN with her BSN immediately without further schooling. Secondly, having the BSN would open doors for (click) promotions and also allow her to continue her education in the future if she chose to get her MSN. It also gives her more (click) job security knowing that hospitals look to hire in RNs with a BSN when possible and when job cuts happen the ADN only could make her vulnerable. The cons were that the degree will take (click) 3 years to become an RN as opposed to less than 2 years for the ADN. This would mean waiting (click) longer to move from LPN to RN and having the increase in pay and responsibilities. However, she did note that if she goes with the LPN to RN and gets her (click) ADN first that it will take her 3 years and 10 months to get her BSN, as opposed to the straight 3-year BSN program. There is also (click) less flexibility with the 3 Year BSN as it is classroom program where she can take the (click) majority of her coursework for the LPN to RN online.

Transition: When she sat back and looked at the two lists two things stood out to her. 9

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnFirst, the overall lists were comparable to one another without one being a clear option over the other. Both of the programs had clear pros and either would be a great options. However, the second thing was that the one thing that is most important to her, (click) how quickly she can become an RN, was glaringly shorter in one option than the other. Based on her priority of becoming an RN to increase her pay and opportunities as quickly as possible, Hope decided to (click) pursue becoming a Registered Nurse by getting her Associates Degree in Nursing through the (click) Columbus, OH campuss LPN-RN Bridge Option. Hope did notice on Chamberlains website that this option is only available on the Ohio campus and she was excited that she lived near the campus and was able to take advantage of the opportunity.

However, just as she wrote as one of her Pros to this option, she planned to quickly (click) pursue her BSN after completing the LPN-RN option.

Transition: So, Hope went on to earn her ADN and become licensed as an RN.10

Work As An RN

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThis opened doors for Hope within the nursing field as the specialty options for an RN, whether they have an ADN or a BSN, are many and varied. Because she did love working in (click) pediatrics she was lucky enough to stay on with the hospital where she worked as an LPN and moved right into an RN position. She was also given (click) additional responsibilities as an RN which included working with the LPNs to train them and help them get acclimated when they started their positions.

Hope enjoyed the training aspect of the job and she knew that this was something she wanted to continue to do and possibly even build on to become a (click) manager or a teacher but she also knew that having her (click) BSN was going to be necessary in order to make that happen. In fact, as Hope began to notice in her area, most management positions were even requiring an (click) MSN.

Transition: (click) Knowing that her BSN was the next step, Hope reached out to an Admissions Advisor at Chamberlain College of Nursing.11

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThrough an interview with the Admissions Advisor, Hope was able to share about her interests and goals and the advisor then gave her a good idea of what options would be the best fit for her to (click) continue her education. She was excited to find out that since she earned her ADN through Chamberlain she was now considered an (click) alumni and would be given a special tuition rate which would make this portion of her education more affordable.

Because Hope holds (click) a current, active RN certification, the first option they discussed was the RN to BSN Online Degree Completion Option. The Advisor shared that with this option she could be given (click) 82 credit hours toward her BSN based on her past coursework through her ADN and it is (click) completely online which would allow her to continue to work full time as an RN while she is earning her BSN.

Transition: However, as an RN with her ADN, Hope has a few other things she wants to consider.12

13

Earning a BSN

RN

Job SecurityDuties and Pay Remain the SameAdvancement?

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThey discussed how getting a BSN, as a nurse who is already licensed as an RN, that the (click) job duties and pay most likely will not change once she earns the BSN degree. In fact, Hope talked about how, at the hospital she currently works in, she is rarely aware of which RNs have an ADN and which have a BSN unless it comes up in conversation. Hope also shared that the hospital is also encouraging their (click) ADN nurses to consider going back to school to earn their BSN and there are rumors of the hospital trying to achieve MAGNET status which could put ADNs not willing to get their BSN in jeopardy of losing their jobs. So, getting a BSN could keep her working, but it might not give her the (click) advancement opportunities she really wants.

Transition: When Hope shared this concern with the Chamberlain Admissions Advisor they also discussed the RN-BSN to MSN Bridge Option.

?

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThis option would allow nurses with an ADN to earn both their BSN and their MSN in a shorter timeframe than doing the two degrees separately. Knowing that earning her BSN would not open up a lot of other specialties or options in her career and that getting her (click) MSN could open a number of different possibilities depending on the specialty track she chose, this option definitely interested Hope. She applied for the (click) RN-BSN online degree completion option with the advisor that day and she knew after speaking with the advisor that she needed to sit down and really consider where her career was going and figure out if the (click) RN-BSN to MSN option was going to help her achieve her career goals.

Transition: Wanting to know more about the (click) MSN options and what type of career she could have with each specialty track, Hope starting doing her research.14

MSN Specialty Tracks

RN

Non-Clinical Clinical

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnShe found out that Chamberlain College of Nursing offers five specialty tracks with their MSN degree program: (click) Four non-clinical tracks: (click) Educator Specialty Track, (click) Executive Specialty Track, (click) Informatics Specialty Track, and (click) the Healthcare Policy Specialty Track. The fifth track option is a clinical track, which Hope had not considered previously but now peaked her interest, the (click) Family Nurse Practitioner or FNP specialty track. Hope had an idea of what interested her, but she wanted to ensure that she knew all of her options.

Transition: So she took the time to research what career opportunities would be available with each of these specialty tracks.

NLNs Certified Nurse Educator Exam

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThe first track Hope researched was the Educator Track. She (click) enjoys teaching the LPNs on the floor about their jobs and thought that this might be a good direction for her career. As she did her research she found that nurses who graduate with their MSN with the Educator track would be (click) prepared to teach in academic and clinical-practice settings becoming things like (click) Nurse Professors, (click) Patient Educators, (click) Community Health Leaders or (click) Staff Development Leaders. This was good news for Hope as she wasnt sure she wanted to be in a classroom as a (click) professor but she liked the idea of furthering her career with (click) teaching in the clinical setting. Chamberlains curriculum provides the core competencies identified by the National League for Nursing (NLN) and prepares graduates to take (click) the Certified Nurse Educator exam.

Hope also found that nurses who were interested in going on to pursue their (click) Doctorate or PhD often completed this track before moving on to that level of their education. Getting her doctorate was definitely not part of her short term goals and (click) she wasnt sure that she would even want or need it for the long term, but again, knowing that (click) Chamberlain offers a Doctorate program gave her a piece of mind, knowing that she could stay with what she now considered her school to complete her nursing education. After her research, the (click) educator track was still one Hope wanted to consider.

Transition: Hope also found that Chamberlain offers an Executive Specialty Track as part of their MSN Degree Program.16

RN

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnSince managing nurses and training them was something she knew she enjoyed, this track was especially interesting to Hope. She found that earning her MSN with the executive specialty track could open doors to becoming a (click) Nurse Executive, a (click) Director of Nursing, a (click) Chief Nursing Officer, or a (click) Healthcare Administrator. Chamberlains program prepares nurses to meet the (click) American Organization of Nurse Executives, or AONEs, eligibility requirements to sit for the Nurse Executive Certification exam as well which would make her even more marketable in the field.

She also found that those who chose this specialty track have an option to continue their education through one of Chamberlains sister schools, (click) Keller Graduate School of Management, to earn an MBA with only taking (click) 8 additional courses after the MSN. Though Hope wasnt sure she wanted or needed an MBA, she was excited about all of the opportunities that were offered for (click) Chamberlain nurses and the Executive track is one that she was (click) interested in considering.

Transition: Hope also found that Chamberlain offers their MSN with a Healthcare Policy Specialty Track.17

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThis was another track that Hope was (click) not sure would fit her career goals, but she wanted to make sure she was aware of all of her possibilities, so she continued on with her research. She found that earning her MSN with this specialty track would prepare her for roles such as a (click) Health Policy Nurse, (click) Nurse Researcher, (click) Health Services Consultant, or (click) Research Project Coordinator. Their roles will often be involved in (click) directing the path of healthcare policies, benefiting patients and the community. They often work in roles (click) outside of the hospital or other healthcare facilities like working for research firms, universities, legislative offices, healthcare associations, or they can even hold elective office. Though their role is about benefiting patients, they often are (click) not involved in direct patient care, and this was the main reason that Hope decided that this was (click) not a specialty she would want to consider for her career.

Transition: Another specialty track option with Chamberlains MSN is the Informatics specialty track.18

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThis was another track Hope had not considered, but she wanted to know about all of her options, so she still did her research to understand what would be available to her after earning her MSN with this track through Chamberlain. She found that nurses working as nurse informaticists could work under a number of different titles like (click) clinical informatics analyst, (click) systems analyst, (click) informatics nurse specialist, or (click) director of nurse informatics. These roles can be found in (click) hospitals, other healthcare facilities, universities, consulting firms, or corporations that develop and market healthcare information systems. And Chamberlains curriculum provides the core competencies identified by the National League of Nursing (NLN). Graduates will be eligible to sit for the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Informatics Nursing Certification exam.

Transition: It seemed that no matter the title, what the informaticists do on a day to day basis was similar.19

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThe informaticist, no matter their title, (click) looks for ways to best integrate data, information and knowledge to support patients, nurses and other providers to make the best decisions in their roles and they do this by using advanced computer and information technologies. Their goal is to design and implement systems that improve documentation accuracy, eliminate unnecessary work, enhance accuracy, and enable analysis of clinical data. Though this did sound interesting, Hope also found that most informaticists do (click) not perform patient care duties but focus their time developing, improving, testing or training nurses to use new systems. The idea of moving out of patient care didnt really appeal to Hope, so she decided she could (click) mark this specialty off her list of possibilities.

Transition: Because of her love for patient-care, Hope was especially excited to learn more about the one clinical specialty track that Chamberlain offers.20

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnThe Family Nurse Practitioner Specialty Track offered by Chamberlain College of Nursing prepares students to expand their nursing practice. As an FNP, Hope would act (click) much like a family doctor, working with patients throughout their lives, diagnosing illness, conducting exams, and prescribing medication. She would also have the opportunity to serve as a (click) patients sole health care provider and even (click) run her own practice. Chamberlains program would also prepare her to sit for her (click) national certification as an FNP.

There are Nurse Practitioners who work specifically with the elderly, children or even within the psychiatric area of nursing, but having an FNP would allow Hope the ability to work with (click) patients of all ages and she was excited by this idea. Hope had heard that there was going to be a (click) shortage of physicians in future years and she found in her research that FNPs would be a part of meeting the needs of families healthcare during this time of need. This was definitely a Specialty Track that Hope wanted to (click)consider as she moved into her MSN studies.

Transition: After considering all of the Specialty Tracks offered by Chamberlain with the MSN Degree Program, Hope was eager to make a decision about her career trajectory.21

22

Choosing a Track

RNPatient-FacingTeaching Others

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnShe had narrowed the five track options down to the three that would best meet her goals for her career as a nurse: the Executive, Educator or Family Nurse Practitioner. Hopes main goal was to stay in a role that would continue to be (click) patient-facing. All three of these specialty tracks had (click) possible roles which would help her meet that goal, but only (click) one of them was focused mainly on the patient care aspect the Family Nurse Practitioner.

The other main focus Hope has is (click) teaching other nurses which is why she was interested in the (click) Educator and Executive tracks. However, as she thought about the other responsibilities involved in the executive track roles she realized a good deal of time in those roles might not be patient-facing or teaching others. She also thought that by being in an FNP role she would have opportunities to work with RNs that she would lead and possibly teach as well doing direct patient care. That being said, she decided to (click) mark the Executive Specialty Track off of her list.

Transition: So, she was left with either the Educator Track of the FNP Track.22

23

Graduate Certificate Options

RNPatient-FacingTeaching OthersChoosing a Track

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnWhen considering these two options Hope felt somewhat stuck. Being (click) patient-facing was definitely important to her, but she really loved (click) teaching and the satisfaction she got from helping younger nurses learn and grow in their roles. She simply could not bring herself to decide between these two goals for her career and wanted to find a way that she could be educated in both areas and prepared to possibly work as an FNP but still have the ability to teach as well. This is when Hope noticed that Chamberlain offers two (click) Graduate Certificate Programs in addition to their full MSN Degree Program.

The two Graduate Certificate Programs focus on Informatics and Education (click). Informatics was not something she was interested in as she learned from her research of the Specialty Tracks, but the Graduate Certificate Program in Nursing Education would allow her to get the training she needed to be a more effective nurse educator and would prepare her to sit for the (click) Certified Nursing Education (CNE) Board Certification by National League for Nursing which would allow her to teach just as getting the MSN specialty track. The Certificate programs are both offered (click) completely online and take (click) less than a year to complete. This seemed like the perfect option and it was something she could do after (click) completing her FNP and spending some time in that role.

Again, Hope found that (click) Chamberlain offers options that really meet her needs for continuing her education and furthering herself as a nurse throughout her career.

Transition: After doing all of her research, Hope was ready to continue her education!23

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnShe was accepted into the (click) RN-BSN Degree Completion Option and completed all courses except her final two and chose to continue on with the (click) RN-BSN to MSN Online Option with the FNP Specialty Track. She earned both her BSN and her (click) MSN with the FNP Specialty Track in 3 years and 2 months. Earning the FNP also gave Hope the new title of (click) APRN, Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. After working as an FNP for 2 years Hope did decide to go back and earn her (click) Graduate Certificate in Nursing Education and also works part time as adjunct faculty for a local university.

Transition: Fast-forward a few years.24

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC.

She has heard rumors of the requirement for having a (click) Doctorate for Nurse Practitioners, and though she knows it is not currently and may never actually become a requirement, she is interested in finding out more about her options to continue her education. She also knows that as an adjunct professor with a university it is likely she will make more money teaching if she earns her Doctorate.

Transition: So, Hope started her research for her options for getting her Doctorate, and, of course, she started with (click) Chamberlain College of Nursing.25

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnHope found that Chamberlain offers a Doctorate in Nursing Practice with two Specialty Tracks: (click) Advanced Practice Leadership, or APL, and (click) Healthcare Systems Leadership, or HSL. The difference between the two seemed to be that the Advanced Practice Leadership Track is for those who are (click) APRNs working as either Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurse Anesthesists, Nurse Widwives, or Clinical Nurse Specialists. While the Healthcare Systems Leadership Specialty Track is for those who have an MSN who are (click) not APRNs. The main difference in the curriculum is that there are (click) more practicum hours required for the Healthcare Systems Leadership Specialty Track for those who are not qualified APRNs and there are (click) two additional leadership courses which are not required for the Advanced Practice Leadership Specialty Track. Based on the two options, Hope chose to consider the (click) Advanced Practice Leadership Specialty Track for furthering her education and career because she is a Nurse Practitioner.26

She wants to continue to work as a nurse practitioner and possibly (click) open her own practice and earning her Doctorate will help her feel more prepared to take steps toward that goal.

Transition: Hope is extremely excited that (click) Chamberlain offers this final step for her in completing her nursing education and helping her to achieve her career goals.27

CONFIDENTIAL 2014 Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC. All rights reserved. 0114ccnAs we saw through the path that Hope took, the options for the career of a nurse in their field cover a wide-range of possibilities. (click) Chamberlain offers, starting with an Associates Degree in Nursing, the educational options nurses need to be able to step into the possible career paths a nurse may choose to take. (click) Hopes path will look different from each nurse that an admissions colleague may speak to. No matter, their career goals can be accomplished through following Chamberlains Nursing lifeline.

(click) No matter the level of nurse an admissions colleague is speaking with, when discussing their goals, the Chamberlain Nursing Lifeline is a valuable tool for informing the nurse of how Chamberlain can help them achieve both their educational and career goals.

Transition: Having this knowledge will allow all admissions colleagues to provide the exception service expected by our nurses.28
