1. UMDNJ ABSN program questions

   8packmurse replied to Spring2013's topic in New Jersey

   I say that because a classmate of mine was accepted (failed out 2nd term) and did not have the 3.0gpa minimum. The qualifications mostly depend on the pool of applicants they get for the term. If they aren't filling the census as far as class size th...

   If you meet their minimum expectation of a 3.0 gpa you should get in.

4. Do I qualify for ABSN @ NYU and UMDNJ

   8packmurse replied to ThinkNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Last May I graduated from my Bachelors degree while concurrently taking classes at UMDNJ. Just make sure you send them the planned graduation date and send in your diploma when you get it.

5. 2nd Career in Nursing

   In my opinion, stick with what you have and be grateful. The economy is too fragile and there are not enough jobs to be taking that kind of risk. Not only will you be forking out 35-40k for school, there is a good chance you will be unemployed for a ...

   8packmurse replied to nurseinnyc&nj's topic in New Jersey

   I'm sure you do, there are plenty of students in my class with B.As that are also doing well. I did not say they can't do well, I was simply implying that students with these degrees may have more difficulty in the program. And if you would like spec...

   8packmurse replied to nurseinnyc&nj's topic in New Jersey

   Yes students with B.A's or any other degree can and certainly do well in the program. With this said however, if you look up attrition statistics from your cohort you will find that the majority of students that fail or have to retake classes do not ...

   UMDNJ ABSN student here and recent grad from Rowan University with BS in Bio. Not sure about the other schools but I know my school has a gpa requirement of 3.0 for the program. If you have above that you should get in, but there are no exceptions fo...

    8packmurse replied to crayons's topic in New Jersey

    I haven't seen Drexel's or Jeff's labs, but I've heard really good things. I believe Drexel has a brand new SIM lab and that they hire actors to work on your skills etc. I'm sure our lab is far inferior. We only really used the lab for the first 6 we...

    Level II UMDNJ student here....I was interested and accepted into all of those schools as well. The first reason why I chose UMDNJ over the others was the cost of tuition compared to the other schools. It is a bargain compared to the other schools, p...

12. UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Program

    8packmurse replied to 3Triages's topic in New Jersey

    We have the same syllabi, curriculum and projects on both campuses. The only thing that is different are the professors and NCLEX rates (Stratford's is significantly higher). As far as textbooks I suppose it is all up to preference, but I assure you...
