New Jersey City University nursing 2018 cohort

Yes, I actually just took it a few days ago. 96% composite score.

Pace yourself well. The good thing about this exam is that you get to choose which sections you want to complete first. You will also see your current progress after completing a section to gauge how you are doing overall.

I studied literally for four days and just used the aforementioned materials. Wishing you the best.

OMG @jyosei congrats I'm so happy you scored that high. That is soooo great . I hope I do just as well. And I'm sure you will get accepted

Thank you @Jyosei

Did you have critical thinking section on it? And, if you did how was it overall and was this section also timed?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Everyone,

I am also applying to the NJCU Jersey City cohort! For those of you that took the HESI was there plant biology on there? I am using two books to study from, the Elsevier and the Trivium books. The Elsevier book doesn't touch on plant biology but the Trivium book goes into depth about it as well as evoultion.

As for the the NursingCAS application do we have to wait for the references to be completed before submitting the application? I checked the FAQ's on the website but couldn't find an answer.

Also is anyone going to the Wall information session on 3/21? I couldnt get off work for the JC one.

Hello Everyone!

Looks like we have two different forums going! https://allnurses.com/online-nursing-schools/njcu-absn-2018-1095776-page3.html

How is the application process for everyone?!

Good luck!

Good luck to you as well. :)

Hey y'all!

Got a situation that I could use your input on and has got me stressing a bit. I know chemistry is not a prerequisite course but i recently got a bad grade in chemistry and I'm afraid the admission board will look at it and use it against me.

Do you think this can hurt my chances and what do you think I can do to redeem myself? Maybe i can address it in my nursing essay?

My prereq grades are all As except one B and I'm taking the HESI tomorrow. I took the HESI last year and got a 90 so I'm hoping for a higher grade this time knowing how it is now.

@Jazminjfuertes they MOST likely and that's a BIG MOST are not worried about chemistry as that is not a required prerequisite . As long as you got a C or better in your prerequisite you are good but that's kinda iffy in a way because if it brought your GPA below a 3.0 it may not be as competitive but just do well on that Hesi and your chances will be great because I've read people getting in with GPA's below a 3 but with high Hesi scores

@Rose001

That's awesome that you were able to submit so early!

I submitted my complete app a few days ago.

How long is it taking everyones application to be verified by NursingCAS once you submitted and paid the fee?

prickles, BSN, RN · Feb 12, 2018

It took them 9 days to verify my transcripts. I hope yours are done by now if you applied to Wall!

For NursingCAS, are you guys putting all your attempts at the courses. Idk bout y'all but I had to retake some classes to get that A and I contacted NursingCAS and they said I have to put all attempts. I'm doing it now but I feel like it makes me look so bad. Did you guys do that?
