Ask a Student
What kind of support do professors offer at Chamberlain’s nursing program in Pearland?
“I really struggled in my last class and my professor met with me one-on-one every week to make sure that I met the benchmark and helped me understand what I could do better to surpass it. After I graduated, she reached out to check in when I was taking my boards, and as I took my first position. She was just amazing, and it was really nice to know someone cared enough to reach out even after I graduated.”

Chamberlain College of Nursing Expands with Second Houston-Area Campus
Pearland campus aims to alleviate state’s nursing shortageJune 03, 2014 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Chamberlain College of Nursing is opening a new campus in Pearland, Texas and is now accepting applications for admission to the fall semester, which begins Sept. 1. The Pearland campus is Chamberlain’s second in Texas and 14th in the nation.
“Located so close to the Medical Center, Pearland maintains a large footprint for folks involved in the healthcare field”Tweet this
Chamberlain’s Houston campus, 25 miles from the Pearland campus in the northwest area of the city, opened in 2011. Since then, Texas’ population has grown faster than that of any other state, with Houston among the nation’s fastest-growing cities.1 Nurses are in high demand to provide care for Texas’ growing patient population, including those over age 60.2
“Located so close to the Medical Center, Pearland maintains a large footprint for folks involved in the healthcare field,” said state Rep. Ed Thompson (R-29) from Pearland. “Chamberlain College of Nursing is a great addition to our community and will be an important asset in satisfying the needs of the Medical Center, our reputable hospitals and other esteemed facilities located in our area.”
Texas’ ratio of licensed registered nurses (RNs) per 100,000 people is far lower than the national average – 720 compared to 874.3 Despite a climbing RN vacancy rate in Texas hospitals,4 more than 5,600 qualified applicants were turned away from local baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs last year due to capacity issues.5 With the addition of its Pearland campus, Chamberlain increases access to nursing education for students in Texas.
“The demand for nursing education and nurses in Texas reflects a nationwide trend,” said Susan Groenwald, PhD, MSN, RN, national president of Chamberlain College of Nursing. “Chamberlain is committed to providing a superior nursing education to prepare extraordinary nurses who can step up to meet this challenge. Pearland is thriving with new healthcare facilities that will benefit future nurses as they begin their education and clinical experiences with Chamberlain.”
Located at 12000 Shadow Creek Parkway, Chamberlain’s new Pearland campus offers an on-site Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program that can be completed in as few as three years of year-round study instead of the typical four years with summers off. The campus features Chamberlain’s SIMCARE CENTER™, which provides high-tech simulated patient care in clinical learning environments, and a Center for Academic Success, which delivers comprehensive academic resources and support for students. Chamberlain students benefit from a student-centric learning environment enhanced by small class sizes, personalized attention from faculty, diverse clinical-learning opportunities, experiential learning and a singular focus on preparing nurses for successful careers.
The Pearland campus president, Kacie A. Spencer, DNP, MSN, RN, has more than a decade of experience in clinical nursing and academics. Dr. Spencer’s previous roles at Chamberlain include faculty chair and dean of academic affairs at the Arlington campus and, most recently, dean of academic affairs at the Houston campus. Her clinical experience includes emergency nursing, quality management, regulatory agency compliance and staff development. Dr. Spencer earned a Master of Science in Nursing degree with a specialization in leadership and management in nursing systems with highest honors from Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi and a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree focused in leadership and management from The George Washington University.
The Pearland campus open house event for prospective students will be held at the Houston campus, located at 11025 Equity Drive, on July 10 from 4-7 p.m. For more information or to RSVP, visit chamberlain.edu/events.
