hi, i go there too..
are you guys in the nursing program yet ? or still doing general education?
how's the wait lists over there? i haven't asked the admissions just yet. i might transfer to another school when i get done w/ the pre-requisites.
i heard Raritan bay is taking over UMDNJ's nursing program. i wanted to get a copy of their curriculum but soo impossible to get someone pick up the phone.
do you have a copy of the new outline ?

hey i have applied for their fall 2008 nursing program. they don't have a very demanding pre-requisites. from what i know and research they're accepting 110 students for the fall of 2008 term. the curriculum itself is not listed, but i know that the nursing courses is 4 days a week. not exactly sure what the actual times are, but there are no nights and weekend nursing courses, but co-requisites you can take during the night and weekend. i do have a list of what you need to do to get into the program. i have completed everything, my gpa is a 3.15. the only thing i'm waiting for is the teas exam which i'm scheduled to take on the 9th of december. hope this isn't too long:
oh i find it that they respond much faster through email. i have a blackberry, so i email them back and forth with questions. hope that help.
That's the link to Raritan merging with MCC. This looks like an updated version from the last one I read. Good luck with your choices. Take care.

just want to let guys know that I was accepted into the Middlesex County College nursing program. I scored an 84.5 on my TEAS, and had an overall GPA of 2.8 at Middlesex. My scores in Anatomy I and II were both B's. These scores might not sound competitive but I already have a Biology degree from Rutgers New Brunswick. That might have helped my case a great deal considering all of the stuff I've been hearing about trying to get into this program.
Oh! One more thing. I was initially put on the waiting list when I received my letter April 30th; I figured that was basically a "no", since I heard that the waiting list was forever, but I received a call yesterday (6/9) that a spot had opened up and they were offering me a seat in the program (thanked the heavens for that).
Well, that's that. I don't know if this post helps anyone in terms of trying to gauge what it takes to get into the program. My TEAS score was definitely higher than average (76?), but my GPA was abysmal considering what everyone else seems to be striving for, but I think I really owe it all to my previous degree.
If any of you have any questions, just post them at me, and I'll try to answer them as best as possible. Good luck everyone! I feel like there are others out there who deserved the spot over me, but, I'm nevertheless thankful that I got it.

@cpohi3 it sounds as if i was in an almost identical situation, i just got a call a few days ago offering me a position in the school. I was just wondering how the school was? and if you had any tips? do we have winters/summers off? also what classes did you take your first semester? I too have a degree from rutgers. if you can please email me! [email protected]

Hi! I am a MCC nj student and i am taking the teas exam tomorrow and I did very bad on the online practice test (66%). My Gpa is good (3.69) but I haven't taken any anatomy and physiology classes, only basic bio and chem. Do you have any advice for me? all I want is to hit the average just to be considered in the program...
