Hi! Just thought I would start a new thread for NJCU, 2014 applicants! - Any thoughts/concerns regarding the application process or help from alumni is greatly appreciated! I'm applying to the Wall cohort for this May.
My first transcripts took only three days to post from mailing. My last one took 10 days. Was about to request a new one. In regards to the HESI. The grammar had a lot of questions on picking out the grammatically correct or incorrect sentence, which word is used incorrectly, and what does a word mean in such a context. It didn't have many questions on clause, direct object, indirect object, predicate, predicate adjective, predicate nominative, types of nouns, preposition, and conjunction. A & P and BIO were not to in depth although it did ask some random body parts etc. It was mostly from the review book but not only so know basic cell structure, bones, and reproductive parts. Good Luck to all those that didn't take it yet. And good luck to everyone on getting in.
Hi Liz,
So I called NursingCAS. BAD NEWS! They totally lost my transcript. They claimed it is no where to be found when the mailing address was correct. It is a smart idea to mail out a second copy of your transcript.
Just got back from taking the exam. There were more questions than I expected: 30 on Bio and A&P, 55 on reading comp. Based on the scores I received, 5 questions in each section were experimental and not factored in scoring. You get 4 hours so take your time and don't rush it. What else...can't think...

Hi Lizziefl21,
Don't worry about your transcript. I got really nasty with NursingCAS because my school mailed out my transcript on Janaury 9 and they didn't update it on my account. They insist it is still processing and it takes 7-10 days. Which I think is taking wayyy too long and it is beyond the time frame they told me. Once they get back to me, I will let you know how it goes. Even though NJCU assured some of the students that they understand if NursingCAS takes a while to verify some of the documents, keep in mind that students who completed all the documents and requirements will get review first(since all their paperwork is complete-common sense). Schools are being known for promising something that end up did not happen. I would say you mail out a second transcript as a back up plan.
