NJCU ABSN 2014!

JCCMA · Jan 16, 2014

Hey Sarsoora8 -

Even though you have all of your transcripts in, you won't see a GPA calculation until you have e-submitted the application. Once you e-submit, it will go into a queue at Nursing CAS for verification. Mine took exactly 2 weeks from the day I e-submitted to be verified, at which point, my GPA calculations appeared. Unfortunately, you cannot e-submit your application until letters of recommendation are completed/designated to NJCU. Per tinemarie, sounds like you will be fine, however, since NJCU seems to go by the e-submit date. It's all very confusing. I myself was trying to wrap my head around when the application needed to be submitted by, since it takes several weeks for Nursing CAS to process. This made it seem like, despite a 2/17 (JC Cohort) deadline, you would need to have everything submitted early Jan, which didn't make a whole lot of sense.

Thanks JCCMA!

NJCU representative emailed me back saying that as long as the application is submitted by the deadline then I wil be fine. They understand that it takes a few weeks for the application to get processed and verified :)

Nadia89- how was the HESI you took today?

I'm applying for the Jersey City campus. I took my HESI a couple weeks ago - just waiting on my second recommendation before I can submit my application to NursingCAS!

Can I ask everyone that took the HESI, how detailed and specific are the biology and AP questions?

Hi everyone,

I also am in the process of applying to NJCU.

I am still completing my application - quite stressful, especially waiting for letters of recommendation.

I have a question:

Once you take the Hesi exam, how soon are the results submitted to nursing CAS?

Just called the examination office, but they were not sure - 24h and it goes electronically??.

So how long does it really take?

Many thanks!!

Hi piksi.dixi,

I'm not positive, but I think your results need to be sent to NJCU directly. As long as the exam is taken before the due date then you should be ok as per S******* from NJCU. The results will probably get sent directly to NJCU electronically.

piksi.dixi · Jan 23, 2014

Thanks Sarsoora8,

you are right, they need to be sent to NJCU - I called elsevier and that's what they said.

So I guess If everything goes right, I should be OK.

Good Luck! p.

Hello everyone!

I signed up for my HESI exam last October and remember having trouble with the cohort ID number when registering. I'm on customer service with Evolve right now (because Prometric apparently does not have humans working for them) and they're not being much help either. When I type in the cohort ID for Jersey City, it shows as "no exams available". Since I signed up a while ago, I just wanted to try to verify that these scores will be sent to NJCU, but then came across the "no exams available" and started to panic.

Anyone else have this issue?? I'm jumping through hoops trying to verify that my scores will, in fact, be sent to NJCU, but Evolve is apparently just as confused as I am.

Hey Tinemarie -

I wasn't aware of a Cohort ID - where did you find that?

The only ID number that I used was the "Main Campus Department ID," which was provided in the HESI registration instructions hyperlink on the NJCU Accelerated page. I used this ID number in order to initially register for my exam. I believe that this is the only ID that you need to input; you wouldn't be able to register for the exam without it.

I did see the field for cohort ID on the Evolve site, but never saw that mentioned anywhere on the NJCU site, so I just disregarded.

It seems that a lot of folks (including myself) are unsure of what happens to scores once the HESI is taken. Can anyone that has taken the test share your experiences?

Thanks!

Sorry Sorry!! Didn't mean to confuse you (or anyone else). I meant the Department ID. I contacted NJCU and they told me that as long as my address under my confirmation with Prometric says Jersey City, NJ, I should be fine. The woman who responded to my e-mail, (who I'm sure many of you are in contact with), told me that the scores get uploaded to some sort of test score database that NJCU then downloads the scores from. So they don't get "sent" to NJCU per say, but uploaded to this specific database that NJCU has access to. I'm assuming the Dept ID is used to organize scores into their respective database.

Sorry for the confusion everyone! :)

And yes, please anyone who has taken the HESI, please share your experiences!

Hi Everyone!! Did anyone have problems with NursingCas posting transcripts? If so how long did it take them to post from the day you had the college send it? My transcript was sent to NursingCas on January 13th and it still has not posted to my account.

sarsoora8 · Jan 24, 2014

Hi Lizziefl21,

What do you mean posting transcripts? If you mean for it to show 'received', I think it took a couple of days for that. Mine was sent on 12/30, and it showed date received as of 1/3.

If you're asking about individual classes, then you need to enter that in yourself, unless you use that service they provide for a fee.

Hope this helps!
