UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Program

[3Triages]

Hi everyone! Is there anyone who can provide information on the accelerated BSN program at UMDNJ? I would like to know how durable is the program- the good, the bad and the ugly. What GPA is required for admission and how soon does one have to apply? Thanks- any info would be appreciated:chuckle

Can someone tell me how to financially surviuve UMDNJ's accelerated BSN program? I heard that they will allot you money for rent and utilites, is this correct? I have looked up the cost of attendance and was told that most students have to budget themselves. Do they ask for documentation if you are requesting money for rent? What if you share your apartment with someone who is on the lease but not at the same school, do they look into all of this? Thanks for whatever information you may have.

its called you take a personal loan out cause its a 2nd degree....

you have to provide documentation for everything

either you work part time, have a hubby or live at home is how to survive :)

make sure you have a strong support system cause personally this program is not organized and prob will never be,,, were just nursing students not med students lol

Thanks, I'm actually moving out because I don't think my strong support system is at home so it's funny that you mention that. Are you in the program, If so what level are you?

the summer 2011 term but I didn't hear anything. How long does it take to

know? I also checked my bank account however they didn't even take

the money out, yet. Should I call or wait little bit more?

Call them.

Hi,

Make sure you keep calling them, I have there number saved. I had an issue where I applied super early in June 2010 (Stratford Campus) for Summer of 2011. I was accepted for Spring of 2011! I had to figure that out and call several people to get switched to Summer of 2011 because I didn't want to go in the Spring. What campus are you going to? I can give you some contact information if you want to keep up with things. Let me know

dear goodtobenurse,

our enrollment services department policy is that accepted students are mailed a packet of information within 3 business days of receiving your deposit. please send me a private message with your contact information so that we can investigate your case.

if you'd be willing to start one, that would be great! i think it could be a good tool to network with other classmates.

thanks.

dear bethieanne,

please contact me directly so we can devise the best way to work together on this. you can email me at the school at my umdnj account under lynn mcfarlane.

don't want to miss your reply.

happy new year.

dear kittyinnj;

thanks for your reply. yes, at umdnj we continually emphasize the need for a strong support system to excel in the accelerated bsn program. the center for academic success is ramping up its efforts in this area with initiatives like the peer mentoring program and we encourage students to get involved.

however, i must take issue with your "we're just nursing students" statement, even though you meant it as a joke. if nurses/nursing students don't stop comparing themselves negatively to physicians (or medical students), how will we effectively combat negative images of nurses in the media and in the workplace?

:yeah:you might want to check out this website, which offer news and resources aimed at improving the public image of the nursing profession: http://www.truthaboutnursing.org/

good luck with your studies and please feel free to stop by and visit me any time. i am on the newark campus in the dean's suite (11th floor).

best regards,

lynn mcfarlane

Greetings prospective and current BSN students at UMDNJ-SN.

Since I know you folks are focused on getting in school and getting through our program, I thought you might enjoy seeing some photos of UMDNJ's first stand-alone Nursing Pinning Ceremony, held Dec. 16, 2010 for the accelerated BSN students graduating January 2011.

You can VIEW THE PHOTOS HERE>>Pinning Ceremony, UMDNJ-School of Nursing, Newark Campus, Dec. 16, 2010 - a set on Flickr

We typically hold our pinning ceremonies as part of Convocation. Not sure how we will do the next one, but rest assured it will be an exciting event.
