accelerated bsn program at njcu in jersey city, nj

Published

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.

Hi Candi12,

I scored an 84 on the HESI but my prerequisites were not that great. I was rejected from all the schools that I applied to. You did very well on the HESI. I wonder how many people are on the waiting list.

Hi Sundrop,

Most likely several people are on the waiting list, I just would have preferred to recive a denial letter rather than given false hope of being on the witing list. Im just confused about their selection process.

KrisEMT87,

I got the email and I thought I was accepted. Now I guess that means if you recieved the email than you either got in or was wait listed. I'm figuring that the email was sent in the event that someone does not hand in their deposit they would want to know how we will pay.

so I applied to the BSN program and didnt make the cut. However just to all those that did apply you should know that the deadline extension allowed more applicants to submit applications and therefore increased the overall number of students trying to get enrollment. Also, some students were allowed the option to retake the HESI exam. Last years director of the program cared more for the program versus this years **********. I would suggest for those that didnt make the cut to file a complaint with the Dean of Professional Studies at NJCU : 201-200-2000 ask for ************* to notify them of the unfair advantages that this causes.

As you may see I am pretty upset but have already applied and gotten accepted into another program, however NJCU was my first choice and wanted make it known to other candidates that the new director does not have the best interests at heart when it comes to screening applicants, my friend managed to get accepted with a lower GPA and HESI score and when I asked him for clarification he gave me the run around how a C+ in statistics brought my overall score down, however I received A's in the other preques whereas my friend received B's.

Overall I think the program has a lot of misguided and confused people but wish everyone luck in the program. My sister completed it last year and had tons of words on how unorganized and unprofessional they are... Good Luck.

wow that really gets me upset considering i sent in EVERYTHING WAAAYY before the deadline. thats really not fair. im sorry you didnt get accepted. I was waitlisted and I emailed Samantha about it and she said that they received over 350 applications for 45 spots. i am hoping some people do not send in their deposits and i can be accepted in their place....

Kris,

Good luck with that. I too submitted everything by March 8th and knowing firsthand my sister got to retake the HESI because she bombed it the first time, however her GPA was something they liked. However with this new director I don't understand what they want. The deadline extension was my main complaint against them and they contradicted themselves in an email when I complained about it. Either way even I didnt get in I think the practices that are used are unfair and unjust and should be notified to director heads to ensure everyone has the same oppurtunities of getting in.

On a side note Kris, I'd offer you an advantage by working the MALE NURSE, as they are more in demand and should serve to give you an edge.

Good luck and hopefully everything pays off. After my conversation with the Chairperson, I think my file went straight into the garbage lol. :D
