NJ Evening Nursing Programs

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

I just relocated to NJ and I recently completed all of my pre reqs in NY. The problem is that the one Community College (Middlesex CC) near me doesn't offer the nursing program at night. Rutgers is approx 30 minutes away but they only offer a Bachelor's program and I need to get into the work force ASAP. I would like to get my Associates, then eventually work on my bachelors. In addition, Rutgers is competitive and you have to take once class on their campus first before taking any nursing classes. I have an Associates in Liberal Arts in addition to the Nursing pre reqs. Another CC nearby (Raritan) takes county residents, which I do not reside in.

Does anyone know of a Community College within a 30-45 minute drive from Sayreville, NJ that offers an evening program?

I would love to quit my job and go to school full time...but that is not feasible. Also, I am older and would like to get this done ASAP. I had 4 classes left in NY and now I can't find anything in NJ!!!

Thanks!

Well, I'm not 100% sure if they offer evening but my aunt is a professor at Trinitas. You could look into that one. They are in Elizabeth.

Hi Angelica! Did u get the info? I'm in the same position. I'm currently attending union county college and yes there's an evening program with no waistline and no entrance exam but it's very hard and it's very expensive like $6000 X semester with only one nursing class. I want to transfer to Rutgers for the bsn program but I heard the same thing that I have to bra Rutgers students in order to apply for the nursing program so I'm enrolling to any program take couple more prereqs and then transfer to the nursing program. Let me know anything I live in edison. Good luck!

I have not found a program in near me (Sayreville). I looked at the Rutgers program as well but I do not have a bachelor's, so I am unable to apply into their accelerated BSN program. In order to get into the nursing program for a BSN, you must have a certain amount of credits from Rutgers (20+ credits). I have an associates degree (liberal arts), so I wouldn't be able to do that either. So I am searching for either an associates nursing or a 4 year school that will allow me to transfer my associates (including all my sciences) so this way it will take 2 years in either scenario.
