accelerated bsn program at njcu in jersey city, nj

[joanne82]

Does anybody attend the Accelerated BSN program in NJCU? If so what is the cost of the program? How competative is it to get in? Will they accept you if your overall GPA is lower than a 3.0 but you have a very high GPA in your prerequisites? Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks.

when you spoke to the dean she didnt tell you whether or not you got in or if that letter meant you were in. I just am trying to figure out if that is an indicator of people getting in or not.

No, she did not. All she said was that the waiver document was missing from a number of applications. I am not sure if those of us who received the email are in or not...

The application did not contain the certification form when we filled it out ....sorry for confusing people I didn't mean to get ppl even more anxious than they already were so I apologize.... Hopefully it will all work out but I guess all that's left now is to wait until next week...

Thanks for sharing this info. Would you happen to know what the NCLEX passing rate is for NJCU? Do you feel the program prepared you well? If you do not mind me asking, have you been able to find a job yet?

I received my decision letter yesterday. So, they have been sent out.

Woodse...did you get in?

Woodse did you get in?

Woodse,

Did you receive the email, prior to your decision letter? Maybe this will help clear up some things for everyone if you did/didn't get the email and your decision......

[woodse]

No, I didn't get in and I did not receive the e-mail. The people I know that did receive the e-mail were accepted to the program. I don't know for certain but, it seems if you did not get the e-mail you may not have been accepted. Good Luck!

Anyone currently in the Accelerated BSN program at NJCU? How is it going? what were your scores, gpa, academic/profession background?

I second the last question.. how similar is the NLN to the HESI? Is the material the same? If you prep for one will you be equally prepared for the other?

thanks

Hey,

I also got the email :) when I responded to the request to acknowledge it, I didn't want to push the envelope and ask if it meant we were in.

Did anybody hear if this is true?

I also got the email and when I called (because I couldn't physically return the form since I'm not in the U.S. currently) I ended up finding out that I was accepted.... it seems as if the email has been the indicator as to whether you were accepted or not.

Someone asked about GPAs and scores for those in the program. While I haven't started it yet, I can say that I was accepted with a 2.83 undergrad (I explained it thoroughly in a letter why it was that low) a 3.9 in pre-reqs and an 85 on the HESI.... hope this helps.
