History

Chamberlain College of Nursing was first established in St. Louis in 1889, under the name Deaconess School of Nursing. The Deaconess tradition began in 19th-Century Europe when Theodor Fliedner of Kaiserswerth, Germany, established the first Deaconess Home and Hospital in 1836. The word deaconess means “one who is devoted to service,” being the feminine gender of the word deacon. Their headquarters is located in Downers Grove, IL at the following address: 3005 Highland Parkway Downers Grove, IL 60515.[3]

Academics

Chamberlain University has two colleges, the College of Nursing and the College of Health Professions.

Controversy

In 2017, Chamberlain College of Nursing students in Texas protested a new requirement that they pass a comprehensive test to graduate. This followed the Texas Board of Nursing's decision to forbid Chamberlain from enrolling new students after a significant number of recent graduates were failing the National Council Licensure Examination(NCLEX).
