Essex County College Fall 2020

Published

Hello All,

anyone here that applied to their RN Fall'20 program? In the light of the current situation, not sure when/how the TEAS will be happening, it's hard to be motivated to study.. Plus, I have two kids at home to homeschool too, it really has messed up my schedule. I'm 41 and wanted to be a nurse for a long time, just wasn't possible to start until now.

Hello. I've been trying to find out for months if ECC offers evening Nursing options as they used to many years ago. Their staff has been hard to reach and doesn't know answers, only to have transferred to dead end voicemails (this is before the Pandemic). Their website has nothing specific to this information, and is the only community college in NJ which seems to potentially not offer the evening option for Nursing. Can anyone clarify please?

Hello there... I think they only offer the day program... Not sure what's been happening, I have sent a few emails regarding the Fall semester and TEAS and silence... It sucks because I really busted my behind to ace the prereqs in the last couple years and not even sure they'll start the program or what's happening this year ?

Hey! Thanks for the response. I got in touch with the Dean of Nursing via email who confirmed there aren't any evening Nursing programs offered. ? This is her email address: [email protected] so hopefully you can get your answers! Good Luck!

Bumping... anyone here?

Hi!! I just graduated from ECC nursing back in May 2021 ? I heard about what happened to you guys in fundamentals.. that really sucks. I hope second semester is going better for all of you

@bellaNJ How's it going? Did you end up enrolling in the program? I'm looking at the most recent course schedule and it appears there still aren't any offerings in the evening. That would make things so hard for me but my courses are aged and if I don't go to nursing school now, I'll have to take several courses alllll over again. So it's either I keep my current job and forsake nursing or choose the program.

Heyyyyy, yes I ended up enrolling and graduated in 6/22… currently working at cooperman in Livingston. The program was very demanding, lots of work, and I completely quit working and neglected my family and concentrated on school - but it paid off… let me know if you have any other questions!

@bellaNJ Good Morning! Heyyyyy, first off CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m in the RWJ system as well at Newark Beth as an LSW. That’s awesome. I can hear the feelings of pride, strength and accomplishment in your words Thank you also for your response. I’m just going to have to continue to place the journey in God’s hands. It’s been a long journey and I’m currently an LPN and am seeking admission to the LPN-RN track. It’s like a season of yes…this door opening has been a long time coming and I’m excited. I just learned I passed my TEAS I took on Friday first try, so now I’m just waiting on the preliminary decision which will be made this month. Thanks again for responding and I’ll keep you posted!

Hi @bellaNJ! How'd you build community? I'm surprised there aren't many threads here related to ECC! I got accepted and am excited. I'm sure you develop relationships with cohort members. Happy Holidays!
