Union County College Nurses

Tiritas is so motivating....
You will learn so much.
I love the school.

Hi Fatima:
I am 35 years old, a mother of 3 and a student at UCC/Trinatas. Welcome

signed newcomer

Hi newcomer,
Welcome to the group. I'm a wife and mother to 4 children (9 1/2, 9, 3, 15mths.). I'm still trying to decide what I'm going to do about attending Trinitas. I talked to the FA dept. the other day, and they haven't even begun to work on my FA package, so if I go to early registration on May 3rd...I"m going to have to pay a portion of my tuition which I do not have. So I just have to figure a lot of things out. I'm won't know if I'm accepted into ECC's program until around June 15th...I don't know why they wait so long to notify students... . Even though ECC would be more affordable to me (I live in the county)...Trinitas has a better reputation as a nursing program. What to do...what to do.

First of all you are NOT older ..I'm 37 and am persuing my Nursing degree at Trinitas.

When you start your Nursing in September I guess you are starting with Nurisng 130.

Devote a lot of time to reading.READ REAd REAd READ.
It's a good program and prepares you very well for NCLEX.The NCLEX passing score of trinitas school is therefore very high.You may get grilled in the school exams but you will emerge victorious in NCLEX.

If you really want to know what the course is about.Drop in on 14th January at 4:00 p.m. in auditorium(Elizabeth Campus),when a senior student is having a conference for 132 students.
You will get a lot of tips about how to study,how to manage your time and how to prepare for exams.
This is basically for 132 students,who are going to have their clinical term in spring 2004, in cardiology and respiratory.

If you are doing your pre-requisites now,pay a lot of attention to Bio 105 and Bio 106. Your basics in physiology needs to be very very strong for you to succeed at Nusring school.
When you find time have some Medical distionary reading.Will help you a long way.

Good luck

Glad to see that someone around my age is pursing a nursing career. That's motivating.

Newcomer,
I do know that at ECC that we have to be CPR certified before we start the nursing program. I don't know what the situation is at UCC. Call Trinitas to find out?
