accelerated bsn program at njcu in jersey city, nj

Hey Sweet Life...I think you may have tried to message me but my inbox was full...sorry about that. Anyway, to answer your question...the program is awesome. I really can't say enough good things about it. The days are long, there's a lot of work, but it's very manageable, and I have a baby at home.

I'm actually surprised that it's going as well as it is. I really set myself up for thinking it was going to be impossible, but it's not. Like I said, the classes are hard, and there's no room for slacking, but the faculty is great. They want to help you and they want you to learn. They really bend over backwards for us in that sense.

Since it's a new program, there has been some disorganization. And I know what you mean about everything happening at the last minute. That's how it was with us too. But you have to understand, this is only the 2nd year, and they're still trying to iron out the kinks. But it's not a deal breaker by any means. And like I said, sometimes it's works to your advantage because they realize it's not perfect and they're very flexible.

My advice on the Hesi would be to buy the study guide, and read that thing front to back. There was nothing on the exam that wasn't in the book. The program director is a firm beliver in the Hesi exam and thinks there's a direct correllation between your grade and how well you'll be able to keep up with the material. Even though you need good grades to get in, that's not enough for them. They need to know that you've retained that information. So try to do your best and don't sweat it, it's really not that hard.

And just to remind you, this program is the cheapest in the state! Since we started in the summer, I was able to get 2 full years of Stafford loans to cover ALL my tuition. Of course I'll have to pay it back, but it's nice to not have to worry about it now. And I know the money will come eventually anyway. So don't give up on it just yet.

And again, I'm at the Communiversity so I'm not sure how much the faculty differs from one campus to the next, but ours is awesome. I'm gonna try and clean up my inbox so PM me if you have any more questions!

Thank you all for responding to my thread. i am had some slight anxiety attack today. i am a nervous wreck about this exam and i wante dto make sure i am studying the right stuff. the review book the school suggested i buy was on back order and i only found out about the test roughly two weeks ago. I ended up buying a updated edition of the review book called Admission assessment exam review published by Elsevier powered by Hesi 2008 edition. since the Njcu didn't indicate what exactly would be on their exam. the new book has a lot of subjects and i just wanted to make sure that these are all being tested on.

For people that have taken the exam
These are the topics i got are these correct?

Reading Comprehension
Vocabulary and General Knowledge
Grammar
Basic Math Skills
Biology
Chemistry
Anatomy & Physiology

Personality Profile
Learning Style

Is there a physics section on this exam? my Book has an extensive physics chapter that is making my head hurt?

Any information would be greatly appreciated
