2. UMDNJ Fall 08, FDU Fall 08,SHU fall 08, NJCU Fall 08

   JerseyGuy replied to ggabri07's topic in New Jersey

   In response to Descartes below.....I understand about chaos/disorganization on a real live nursing unit, and no problem with that. But respectfully disagree that nursing SCHOOL itself needs to be like that. UMD hasn't adapted to the fact that stud...

   JerseyGuy replied to ggabri07's topic in New Jersey

   Hey, about UMDNJ's Accel BSN Program.....it IS VERY disorganized, so just be sure you know "what your're getting into", as far as the stress etc due to the "lack of student focus" there. They are much more concentrating on their 10-15 Master's trac...

4. accelerated bsn program at njcu in jersey city, nj

   JerseyGuy replied to joanne82's topic in New Jersey

   Hi NJRNtobe: thot I'd reply here, in case others are interested. Your local Unemployment Office (called "One-Stop" now, I think), can tell you if the program is still available. It's called "ATB", for Additional Training Benefits. Basically, if ...

   JerseyGuy replied to joanne82's topic in New Jersey

   UMDNJ in Newark also has an Accelerated BSN program....at half the cost of Seton Hall, and probably similar price to JerseyCity State University (or whatever they are calling themselves these days).

7. Hey guys....How do you all support yourselves?

   JerseyGuy replied to Brian 77's topic in Male Students

   hey there: I have a domestic partner who works, and he pays most of the bills while I'm in nursing school. (I did same thing for him several years ago, when he was starting a new business and not drawing a salary.) My situation also a little uniqu...

   JerseyGuy replied to Bugaloo's topic in General Nursing

   Hi there, I'm soon to be a graduate nurse, in my last semester now, and reading your comments/suggestions was a pleasure!! Thanks for taking the time to share your observations.

9. Seton Hall Accel BSN--Still Viable??

   JerseyGuy replied to JerseyGuy's topic in New Jersey

   Here's what I've picked up from a pretty reliable source....a senior level educational dean at another nursing school: Seton Hall's Accelerated BSN apparently has a fairly low NCLEX pass rate....both they and UMDNJ's Accel Program are among the lowes...

10. Seton Hall Accel BSN--Still Viable??

    JerseyGuy posted a topic in New Jersey

    I recently heard that Seton Hall University (South Orange, NJ) is "closing" its Accelerated BSN Program to new admissions, eg: that the last Accel Class it admitted was this past September, 2007....and that no new students were being accepted to its...

11. UMDNJ accelerated nursing program, Spring 2008 application

    JerseyGuy replied to Novizivot's topic in New Jersey

    Been there a year now. I gotta tell ya......if you go to UMD-Newark, you really have to "grin and bear it!" They do very stupid things there, again, the ONLY good thing about it is: it's the cheapest accelerated BSN program in NJ, compared to...

12. UMDNJ accelerated nursing program, Spring 2008 application

    JerseyGuy replied to Novizivot's topic in New Jersey

    I am currently in the UMD Accelerated BSN program, and the reply from the person who works at UMD is VERY ACCURATE---in that the previous admissions area at the School of Nursing was a DISASTER!! They have all been replaced, with all SON's admissio...

13. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    JerseyGuy replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Students

    In my class of 60+ nursing students, there are 12 males...and I am the only gay/out male. There is one other who hasn't quite come out yet, and all the others are married/straight. So it's really a stereo-type that's out of date, as far as nursing...

14. Aviator Scrubs

    JerseyGuy replied to CainRN's topic in Men

    Now that's odd about the fly zipper....I ordered a pair, and didn't see the "option" for the zipper fly, so I just sent them back. Without a fly zipper, it's kinda a hassle hitting the head (bathroom), so to speak.
