1. UMDNJ - Accelerated BSN Fall 2005

   spencesa76 replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, I can't answer for the others but I had a 3.8 in my first degree and did not have any healthcare experience. I used my professors and a former co-worker as references. I doubt if everyone in the program has a really high GPA. You have to sub...

2. UMDNJ - Accelerated BSN Fall 2005

   spencesa76 replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Nope, nothing yet. Apparantly they go school by school. I called two weeks ago and they said they were starting on the School of Nursing packages. I also called the cashier's office (tuition) and asked when we could expect tuition bills. The lady ...

3. 1a.m. and about to have a nervous breakdown

   spencesa76 replied to hooray.for.nerds's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you have a chance, I would suggest you call around to some local hospitals, or even contact your nursing department at school and see if you can set up an appointment to "shadow" a nurse for a day. I have a relative who works at the Vanderbilt Un...

   Go to the American Hear Association's website. The school requires the Basic Life Saving class for Healthcare providers (BLS) and you can look up locations in the state that offer these classes on the website. You will have to contact those places ...

5. UMDNJ - Accelerated BSN Fall 2005

   spencesa76 replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah, I agree with red_baron. No interview, but they have been adding additional conditions before you can apply. When I applied last Summer they did not require that we have the Basic Life Saving certificate (CPR etc.) at the time of application, n...

   spencesa76 replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

   No, no, they are not a requirement. I just happen to have one now and would like to use it You can get many of the reference books that we will need (drug guides, medical dictionary, etc.) in software form. Beats the heck out of having to lug books...

   My psych teacher pointed this site out to us during class. You can even put a chili pepper next to the teachers name if you think they are "hot" Too funny.

8. I bought a Littmann off Ebay...is it fake?

   spencesa76 replied to sydie's topic in General Nursing

   Aren't the Littmans all engraved around the upper rim of the metal end? I just bought one from Littman and even if they do not all have the big "L" logo, I seem to remember that they all at least had the type/style (master classis, cardio, etc.) eng...

9. UMDNJ - Accelerated BSN Fall 2005

   spencesa76 replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That makes sense about the online classes. I was wondering why all the second semester classes weren't showing up on that list. I'm still going to ask though. Thanks for the info on the NET. I found a web site that has some practice tests http://w...

10. UMDNJ - Accelerated BSN Fall 2005

    spencesa76 replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Ok, here's the update guys The school is mailing the order forms for the nurse-pacs so we can get them shipped/ordered directly by us. I also got in touch with Dr. Lapierre, he is in charge of the BSN programs there, and I have asked him if he could ...

11. Community College vs University

    spencesa76 replied to wanna-b-R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    Speaking from a science background, (Chemistry, originally) where you go to school only seems to matter if you pursue an advanced degree (MSN or PHD) and want to work in the research field or teach at a university. The more prestigious the company/un...

12. Any Seton Hall or William Paterson nursing students out there?

13. UMDNJ - Accelerated BSN Fall 2005

    spencesa76 replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Oops, I just looked at the website myself. We have classes listed for semesters 1, 3, and 4, but not 2. Gee you think we might actually NEED to take a pharmacology class somewhere along the way?

14. UMDNJ - Accelerated BSN Fall 2005

    spencesa76 replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Here is the link from their website http://sn.umdnj.edu/academics/accelbsn/ASDPcurriculumsheet0605.pdf I think the list they sent us covers the classes for the first two semesters, so, that list needs to be split in half. Also the academic calendar ...

    spencesa76 replied to JLG112's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Did you notice that they sent the packages out too late for us to meet the deadline for uniforms listed on the letter? I called the uniform place right after I got my letter on Saturday. They are scheduling nursing students for UMDNJ next week for ...
