   Congratulations to everyone accepted into the evening program!! My advice to you: buy your books early and read ahead!! There is a lot of reading in Level 1 so get a head-start if you can :) Good luck to all of you!

   krissy3 replied to Cinqui73's topic in New Jersey

   Hi everyone! I am just wrapping up level 1 and have some advice for those entering the program (you can take it or leave it, but this is advice I wish I'd had before starting the program!): - Invest in a good stethoscope; it's worth the extra $30-$40...

   Elfie2012, they base their decision on your HESI score and residency only; GPA isn't considered. When I was accepted, I asked Elsa in the Admissions office if they considered GPA at all and she said "no". I actually looked at the list of accepted s...

   For us, it took about 1-2 weeks after the final testing day, BUT we had the disadvantage of waiting during thanksgiving break which I think delayed things somewhat. I'm sure you will all know something by next week!

   Once you're accepted, your status will change. If I remember correctly, it'll change to "accepted", or "nurse-day"... or someting like that. It will be clear once you're accepted though because it will no longer say "ready for HESI". I think for u...

    Hi everyone! I'm reading all of your posts and want to again let you all know that you do NOT need a 90+ score to get into the program. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you're already off the list because you didn't get a 90! I am a level 1 stu...

    The program is harder than I thought it would be in some ways and easier in other ways. Some of the material is a little more common sense which is refreshing after dealing with all of the microbiology, chemistry, and math courses! But, some of the...

    Hi Rory92, I am a Level 1 student and trust me...a lot of my classmates got into the program with scores in the mid (and lower) 80s. Don't panick! The most important thing I have learned in this entire process is to not listen to what everyone aro...

    Does anyone know where I can go to get a Hep B shot that doesn't cost $$$ ? I have my first Hep B which I got in Florida, but my second shot is past due. Did anybody get a Hep B at the Bergen Co. Health Dept? I am on their website, but I can't see...

    Hi Sunny, I believe the required gpa is 2.5 (correct me if I am wrong someone!). So, if your GPA is at or above a 2.5, you'll receive further information from the school which will give you instructions and deadline information for submitting your b...
