Jersey College

Published

Well here is an update...I passed all my classes and could not pass the exit exam. I was an A and B student but the material on the exit exam was not taught during the program. I was able to take the exit again if I agreed to retake these same classes I had passed already. Welp, would you believe that I didn't pass a class I had previously passed already to take the exit again? What worry me about this school is that they don't want you to see your grades. Even if you dispute your grade they will not allow you to view your exam. The teachers act like gods at this location. You serve them as such and your dreams of becoming a nurse will come true. I'm taking my talents else where. I wont give up.

@JerseyGirl94 WOW!. Story of my life. It happens to so many of us.

The fact that people are afraid to speak out against Jersey College says alot.

Totally unrelated here, but for you Ewing applicants/attendees - I was a local resident for eons of years.

The school sits between Olden Ave and Spruce St, next to Princeton Pike. It USED to be a reeeally nice dept store - EJ Korvette's. Loved that store when it was open!!

I'm sorry to be reading about more people who have had negative experiences there. I didn't think that the other locations were as crazy as the one where I attended but from what I've read, they're all the same. If I could go back in time I would have never applied there. Absolutely everyone gets accepted because they are a business and just about making money even if its at the cost of students who are trying to barely make it as it is. The type of student body at my campus was, to say the least, off of the street. These nursing students were disrespectful to each other and staff on a constant basis. There was always an argument or a fight breaking out. Between classes or during lunch you couldn't study because people were playing music loudly and some people would be dancing around and twerking...I could swear that poles were going to drop from the ceiling & you could get your $1 ready to throw at them. Really ridiculous behavior and not becoming at all...definitely not expected from future nurses. Then there were the "top" students who liked to remind you of that but never told anyone that they were buying test banks online and that's how they were getting 99's and 98's on all exams. Most of the teachers were rude, not willing to help, not approachable and couldn't be bothered but given the treatment that they received from students, I can't really blame their attitudes. The school itself has some extremely shady practices. Not letting you see your exam, grades, etc....that's just beyond odd. If you keep track of your grades you'll notice that the grade that you are given doesn't at all add up to the records that you have kept. Why do you think that is? Because they like to "adjust" grades as they please. That's why. I know that my experience wasn't as negative as some but negative enough to allow me to decide to NOT go back there for the bridge to RN. Absolutely 1,000% sure on that. If anyone is thinking of going to Jersey College please do your research & read the reviews so you can see for yourself just how many people have had to suffer.

I’m  also a former student of jersey college. You need to definitely do your research before attending this school, I really wish I had. There’s definitely a lot of shady stuff going on with grades. You don’t get to see your grades . A week after taking an exam you’ll sit with your teacher so they can show you your grade and they are always a little off by the time you actually find out your final grade at the end of the semester. they are still adjusting grades when the semester is over. I don’t understand why grades are being adjusted for assignments that were already done .They are definitely out for money. And definitely making bank on students they fail and have to keep repeating. The only positive thing I got from this school is the friendships I’ve made.

I am in my 5th term of 6 at Jersey in the bridge program. If I do not pass the exit exam and graduate, I have a backup plan. There is a college that accepts all of our credits and for 3K and three weekends of classes, they submit paperwork to the BON for our ATT.

What college is it could you email me please [email protected]

Sorry to hear about your experience. The exit exam is definitely difficult but I was able to pass after the 3rd attempt. I would definitely still recommend this school because I had a good experience besides failing the first 2 exit exams. I never failed any of my classes and I felt like the professors actually care about their students.

So you retook those classes twice in order to sit the exit exam. Crazy.
