Did you ever get an answer? Wondering what the program is like myself. How long after you applied did you hear back? Did you decide to live in trenton?

I applied early, around December 2014 and got an answer the first week in June. I'm still searching for apartments around that area. I'm checking Morrisville, PA which is across the bridge from Trenton. Have you been accepted into the nursing program?

I applied last week and I am hoping to have an answer soon. Between December and June, when did you have your interview? If I'm accepted I think I will buy a house in Ewing-- not 100% sure yet. Have you heard from anyone else about what the program is like? Things to expect? I'm not sure what traffic across the bridges are like so I'd be nervous to live in PA.

I had my interview in May, I haven't heard anything from anyone yet. I'm hoping to connect with one of the graduating students of last year and hopefully this year. I went apartment hunting yesterday and may have found a place in downtown Trenton. It's a nice area reminds me of Brooklyn.

Sounds good. Is brooklyn where you are originally from? Let me know if you hear anything from anyone. The TESC FB page said they host a seminar where students from last years cohort come and speak to the new students in October. That might be helpful. Also, they said once accepted I could be connected with a past graduate for any questions I might want to ask. Fingers crossed I hear something soon since today was the application deadline.

Hi mbaham85, I received a letter for interview in august, can you please tell me what the interview question is all about. Thanks.

mbaham85 · Jul 1, 2015

Hey henzoic,

thats good, I'm sure you will do fine. They will ask you what your strengths and weaknesses are, why you want to become a nurse ( why are you changing careers). They will also ask you have you ever been in a situation where you had multitask or had to use your judgement, if you saw your friend cheating on an exam what would you do in that situation. Remember to be yourself and just be honest, they are looking for creativity. Good luck!

Thanks for the info, I'm from jersey born and raised. I will definitely keep you posted on any information I hear. Did you decide to buy the house in Ewing?
