Hello everyone,

I just joined this and would like to introduce myself to everyone. My name is parkerTub. I will have a BA in Social Science and Minor in Psychology by January 2017. It's like Sociology and psychology my studies. I saw this website and I am amazed at the great help and advice on here.

I am in the process of applying for NJCU's ASBN program. So far waiting for my two references to get back to me and send in the reference letters to Nursing Cas. Pre Reqs are all done before the deadline Feb 15 which is good.

My concerns are that my resume and major are from completely different fields. They are definitely not health care fields. How do I make my resume even look worthy to be considered for these nursing programs? I probably need more volunteer experience at a hospital or somewhere so I know that. Could any graduates of the program show me a physical example of what their resume looked when they applied to this program? Maybe show me in a word doc file?

Also for the deposit cost being $500, does NJCU provide any kind of financial assistance for that deposit if you come from a family that doesn't make much money like my own? I'm in the Educational Opportunity Fund at my school since I come from a lower income family.

Also what is the passing scores for the HESI test? How do I schedule it too? I can't find the info for that on NJCU's website.

It cost me $98.65. But this was in October 2015, so the cost may have went up this year- just double check.

Additionally, at that time, they had a $15 fee if you reschedule 30days prior to the test date & a $60 fee if you reschedule less than 5days to the appointment date. There was no fee & you'd get a full refund if you cancel 5 or more days prior to the test date. So just be mindful of that prior to booking an appointment.

Also, the centers/testing dates get booked up really fast so it's wise to book your appointment ahead of time otherwise the slots get filled & you may miss your date to test before NJCU's exam result submission deadline. For instance, I booked for my Dec exam in October.

Just a few answers to your questions.

1. You dont need hospital work or volunteer experience. It is a plus to have it though.I didnt have any hospital experience either when I applied.

2. The $500 deposit is after you are officially accepted by NJCU. And they dont offer any financial assistance on that. You might have to get a public or private loan.

3. You need to have a minimum 80% on the HESI exam. The higher the score, the better chance you have.

Hope this helps

Hi everyone!

I am applying for Fall 2017 and I'm really scared I won't get in. This is my first choice and it'd be really convenient for me because it's affordable and only 30 minutes away. I don't have any experience working in healthcare aside from majoring in Health Science and concentrating in Healthcare Informatics. My major gpa is 3.2, my cumulative gpa is 2.8 and i think the gpa of my prereq classes are 2.94. Also, I've never volunteered at a hospital. I have worked for a medical devices company called Stryker but it was mostly clerical work. My resume is full of leadership positions and work experience (e.g. starbucks, data entry positions) which show that I have a lot of experience in multi-tasking, organization, and teamwork. I think I do have two great letters of rec, but I'm still scared that I won't get in.

Was anyone in a similar situation and still got in?

It's okay to be honest if y'all don't think I won't get in.
