2. New Grad RN, BSN in South Jersey/Philadelphia region

   PhiladelphiaLove replied to DanaCheryseRN's topic in New Jersey

   Hi, everyone! I did my internship at Meadowlands Hospital. While I did learn a lot, unfortunately, they did not hold up their end of the deal and I was not willing to continue essentially working for free. I was supposed to do the internship for 3 ...

5. UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Program

   PhiladelphiaLove replied to 3Triages's topic in New Jersey

   I think I would still go to UMDNJ regardless of the disorganization some of us experienced at some time. I still think that my clinical experiences with certain professors was a huge chunk of why I think I would do it again. They taught me a lot eve...

6. UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Program

   PhiladelphiaLove replied to 3Triages's topic in New Jersey

   I agree with a lot of this, but I have to say that I do think there are some VERY intelligent professors there who do know what they are talking about. I am finishing level 4 this coming Tuesday so I do understand the frustration in the disorganizat...

7. UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Program

   PhiladelphiaLove replied to 3Triages's topic in New Jersey

   Echoing the others, the days that you have classes you'll usually always be there by 8 am. This past semester (my final one!) I had to be at one of my clinicals at 6:30 am which meant I was leaving the house at 5:50 am.

11. UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Spring 2012

    PhiladelphiaLove replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

    Ok so, I personally think you'll be fine. I took those courses over the summer so they were 6 weeks long (imagine that....) and at the time I wasn't really learning much, I was just there to pass tests so I could start nursing school quicker. Well,...

    PhiladelphiaLove replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey

    Hi! Here are some answers for you...just remember, this is from my own personal experience... The program is definitely difficult. It's no walk in the park and a lot of time and effort goes into it. However, I also make sure I have time to just re...

15. How many study hours per night (do you average?)

    PhiladelphiaLove replied to Equinox_93's topic in General Students

    Honestly, before a test I usually spend anywhere between 6-12 hours studying a night for it. By the way, a lot of *how much* time you spend studying depends on your background, your type of program, your school, and you as a learner. Me? I cannot sl...
