@Hgu0002 congrats on your RU acceptance. I haven't gotten any sort of email from NJCU JC yet- will be interesting to see what happens with sending letters/replies timing wise.

Thanks! I didn’t receive any email from NJCU either. Will update you guys if I get any.

I applied to the JC campus.

Undergrad GPA: 3.22 (Biology major at Rutgers NB)

HESI: 89.33

Preq: 2.87 (Got a C in Microbiology). I am re-taking it right now. I took the CLEP for developmental psychology.

I am freaking out. I know my changes of getting accepted are low.

Does anyone else have the feeling that orientation may be cancelled soon? Just based on the other universities closing, I feel like NJCU may follow suit?

Hey all!

Just created an account. I applied for the fall semester (2020) for the NJCU ABSN (jersey city campus). I've been checking the status of my app regularly on NursingCAS, and haven’t seen an update as of yet.

but to be on the safe side, I’m going to sign up for the remaining prerequisites for rutgers. Still hoping for NJCU tho.

good luck and may the odds be ever in our favor

Hello! I’m going to do the same exact thing. Backup plan LOL. Do you know which Chemistry can be taken online? It’ll be too late to wait for the fall and take it at a community college as the deadline is in October.

@nursingjewel I hope not, but I was thinking the same thing !

@Rachaelauren18 @nursingjewel OMG I was thinking the same thing. I am also concerned that they may make the classes virtual. I hope it does not mess up our clinicals too. I know RU has cancelled clinicals.

@otgd8Yeah, I’m just checking my email in case something comes out. I need to give my current employer notice, but nervous the program itself may get postponed. I was planning to give them a month and tell them right after orientation. I guess it’s just a waiting game! The orientation could probably be done virtually as well, besides getting measured for uniforms..

Has anyone sent an email for the JC campus for admissions to see where they are with projected admission results? I'm so curious how this will play out with so much happening world wide.

@Tsal I have not heard from them. Should we email them?!

Just letting you all know- we're going through a tough time with our clinical locations and with the school so don't be shocked if its a little longer for your letters. then again, it could come tomorrow, I have no idea. but the staff at the school is scrambling right now for the current students and with clinical sites.

So your first semester classes are fundamentals, health assessment (these two are the most important), informatics, contemporary, gerontology, and pathophysiology....fundementals has a lab and practice component for about 6 weeks and then it switches over to clinical site. there is also a lab for HA and you must show up in full uniform as its treated as if you are in the hospital.

Second semester is pediatrics, OB, and Adult health I (all these have clinicals), pharmacology, research, culture.

For my Wall Campus cohorts... I’ve been keeping an eye on NJCU’s website. It appears that they cancelled / postponed all events scheduled through the end of April. Has anyone heard from NJCU nursing department at all...?? I wonder if we are still starting by May 18th..
