UMDNJ School of Nursing uses an out of state application system for the BSN programs (and for a few of our MSN programs). They are Nursing CAS (centralized application system). You must submit your transcript information on their website and have an "official" copy of your transcripts sent to them from your school(s). You cannot hand deliver the information as Nursing CAS is located out of this region of the country. Thanks, UMDNJ School of Nursing Student Recruitment/Student Affairs

I hope some of you can answer some questions I have. I am a 53 year old lawyer seeking to become a nurse. I applied to New Jersey City University and just received my rejection. I had planned on applying to UMDNJ's accelerated program in Newark but am having reservations. I read that UMDNJ has a 30-40% attrition rate - do you know if this is true? Is the program as rigorous as everyone says? Can you estimate how many hours a week you devote to school, clinicals, etc. I was considered going for an RN degree and then doing a bridge to BSN program. Do you know if RNs are being hired or do you have to have a BSN to have a good chance of getting work.

Thanks so much for reading all of my questions - I'm at sea right now and don't know what to do.

If you do not mind where did you work as a CNA? I am a student and it would be great to just work only on the weekends twice a month. Also, how many hours did you work?
