   iridescence89 replied to CCaralain's topic in New Jersey

   Did you (or anyone else) get a confirmation letter/email/something from UMDNJ telling you that they got your app from NursingCAS?? I submitted my app on NursingCAS, and that's the last I ever heard..... Good luck everyone!

   iridescence89 replied to JessBeadles's topic in Pre-Nursing

   btw, I studied with the Evolve 2nd edition book, but there's a 3rd one out now. It'll probably be more updated so that's why I recommended that one.

   iridescence89 replied to JessBeadles's topic in Pre-Nursing

8. NVCC pre-reqs-which classes are you taking?

   iridescence89 replied to SuzyQ2011's topic in Virginia

   Even if you haven't taken chemistry or bio, you can try getting into the higher level science classes (Microbio) by talking to a NVCC academic adviser. I met with one of their academic counselor's who waived the one year of bio/chem prereqs for me to...
