Completely random. But, if you have a certain living/commuter situation...You have to talk/e-mail with Dr. Johnson and Sam. It is case-by-case basis.

Yes! There is. It is by semester, however.

I've shared the folder with you. Please let your future classmates use them too! ?

So far, we have been sent to Jersey City Medical Center, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Robert Wood Johnson (New Brunswick), Robert Wood Johnson (Somerset), Monmouth Medical Center, Jersey Shore University Medical Center, and a nursing home called St. Anne's Home for the Aged.

Please PM me your e-mail!

If you ladies and gentlemen want to meet up before my Pharmacology class at 1PM, I can show you around!

They usually start at 8 or 9. Clinicals start typically at 7 or 6:45. I have a few classmates who are commuting from Brooklyn. They somehow manage, although I'm sure the commute is super long too.

Yes, all classes are in Rossey Hall on either the 5th or 4th floor. You will usually have 1-2 days free from class/clinicals. Although be warned, you can possibly have clinicals on the weekends, if they can only get a certain placement. Lastly, you will graduate in the beginning of August.

No, there shouldn't be any problems. If they ask, just say that you're going to place a deposit for the nursing program. Definitely take the chance to tour when you're free though! ?

You're welcome too! Rossey Hall is across from the Student Union Building/Art Building/Science Building. It's just off center from the middle of campus. There are two entrances you can enter from. If you can see the security office from the window, you have the right building. There are also signs for Rossey Hall on all sides. The nursing floor is the 4th floor. Take a look at our lounge and simulation labs also on the 6th floor. They will be VERY new for your cohort.

You're welcome! Yes, a few hours you can probably live with. Also, there are shuttles that are available and free. You can also walk too, it's not too bad. Security is also present as well on all the lots and around campus.

Anytime! I am here to help. Also, it is an accreditated program since 1977 through the New Jersey Board of Nursing. The National League of Nursing also has accreditation for the school since 1979. In fact, some of our faculty have roles within the state nursing board (e.g. Dr. Blozen is the president of the NJ State Board of Nursing). Both the BSN and MSN program are also accreditated by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education in Washington D.C.

I am holding up well, and it is certainly doable. I'm working per-diem still (which I can surprisingly manage). Housing near campus is pretty good, especially where the West Campus is (very nice apartment style living). Some of the girls are living together in houses near campus and will be looking for you guys to take over soon (lol). The success rate for passing the NCLEX is in the high 90s and graduates pretty much all have jobs (from talking with people from the last cohort). I enjoy the program for the quality of the faculty and the fast pace. It's grueling but very rewarding.

All of those are important, especially when you are doing the Health Assessment class. You will need to remember cranial nerves, where deep tendon reflexes are (DTRs), and muscle groups for mobility/strength testing. Know the major bones too. Some of the landmarks for auscultation and medication administration originate from there. Your credentials will definitely be helpful.

For those that didn't make it in, just know that it is indeed VERY competitive. From talking with Dr. Johnson and other faculty, a lot of the applications seem to be down to the wire as there are many qualified applicants (as I have mentioned earlier - close to 700 for our cohort), but just 60 seats. The important thing is to not stop trying. Reach out and see what you can possibly improve. If you were truly meant to be a nurse, you can definitely tough ANYTHING out.
